JULY 2020 • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 8

There are many reasons you might need to call a plumber for your home, and at Practicool, they’ve seen them all more times than you could count. They are experts in all residential plumbing issues, from video camera leak detection, tankless water heaters, new kitchen plumbing installation and the common unclogging a toilet or sink, their team is ready 24 hours a day to service any issues you may have.

Practicool has learned over their decades of reliable service the best way to have a customer feel confident about their service is to educate them. There are common plumbing issues which they know exactly what needs to be done before anything too catastrophic happens. The best reason to call a plumber is general maintenance, by doing this it will save you money in the long run, and hopefully stop those unfortunate plumbing emergencies. Practicool wants you to know the most common reasons to call a plumber, so this way you can be confident when you call them that they can solve your issue. Here are a few reasons plumbing services are typically needed, this way by recognizing the problem early

Leaking Pipes & Water Damage

There are many reasons you might need to call a plumber for your home, and at Practicool, they’ve seen them all more times than you could count.

Plumbing Video Inspection

Slow Drains & Blockages

you can stop the damage before it starts.

Low Water Pressure Low water pressure will cause it to be harder for you to get water out of your tap, and may be a sign of a few different things – debris buildup in pipes, problems with local municipal water supplies or a break in your main water line. If it’s simply debris causing blockages, removal and cleaning of faucets and shower heads sometimes clears up the issues. In some cases, further professional work will be needed. Practicool can review your pressure and work on solving your issue.

Dripping Faucets/Leaky Pipes

Not only can these be annoying based on sound and water pooling issues, problems with leaking pipes or faucets can lead to much larger concerns with water damage. If a pipe breaks and water is flooding your home, you know you need to call a plumber immediately. There are other times that may not be as apparent. It can be easy to ignore a leaky pipe, especially if the leak is small. It doesn’t seem like a big deal. But the truth is that any leaky pipe poses a risk because leaky pipes are more prone to burst. And, even if it doesn’t break, it will increase your water bill, and those costs can add up over time. If a pipe has burst, or if a leak is flooding, a plumber will know where to go to shut off your main water

supply. They can quickly find where a leak originates, and they’ll know how to safely change the pipeline through the walls and ceilings of your home.

Running Toilet If you hear water filling the tank even though no one has flushed the toilet, don’t just dismiss it as a random occurrence. It means the seal connecting the tank and the bowl isn’t working properly.

Running toilets are the leading cause of high water bills, but Practicool can easily and quickly resolve the issue for you.

Slow Drain A bathtub or shower should drain almost instantly. If your shower or bathtub takes a long

time to drain, it may need more than a liquid solution that unclogs drains. Over time, hair and debris accumulate in bathroom drains. A long-term solution may require Practicool to discuss your options.

Short Showers Required Your water heater enables you to take a hot bath or shower.

Modern water heaters should provide an adequate amount of hot water for a family. If the performance of your water heater requires short showers, or if you hear unusual noises from your water heater, it may be time to call Practicool who can tell you if it’s feasible to repair your current water heater or whether

CONTINUED ON PG 9

CITY NEWS PRACTICOOL Continued From Pg 8 it would be better to replace it.

Such as a tankless water heater.

While there are many things around your home you can handle yourself, plumbing probably isn’t one of them.

Professional plumbers can inspect and diagnosis a problem.

They’ll know where to start and how to fix any issues they identify. Professional plumbers such as Practicool do far more than fix problems with a sink or toilet. They help protect your home from potential plumbing problems and water damage.

They can help save you money and headaches.

What Is a Camera Inspection?

It’s wise for homeowners to know what camera inspections are and what they’re used for should a problem ever arise. The purpose of a camera is to be able to see what’s causing a blockage or backup within the sewer pipe without digging up the yard or just guessing what the problem is. Because sewer repairs and pipe replacements are no small task, this helps homeowners avoid expensive repairs without knowing for certain that their problem will be solved when the

work is done. The professionals at Practicool specialize in camera inspection. A small, flexible sewer camera is attached to a snake-like cable that is feed through the pipe until it reaches the cause of the clog or break in the line. The camera records the physical location of the line and depth from the surface, telling the plumber where the blockage is and what work needs to be done to fix it.

A sewer inspection camera can identify nearly any problem with your sewer line, but these are some of the most common: Tree root infiltrations These are most common with old pipes made out of clay, cast iron, or other porous materials.

Tree roots seek out water sources as they grow, and if they find a crack in your sewer pipe, they’ll grow into it to get to the water inside.

Major blockages Sometimes your pipes are in perfect condition, but years of sending things down the pipes that should go in the trashcan has caused a buildup of grease, paper, and other gunk.

Sagging or bellied sewer lines When a section of the sewer pipe begins to sag, waste gets caught in the bellied section— resulting in repeat blockages.

Broken, cracked, or collapsed pipes Since the camera feeds along the pipe itself, the plumber will be able to tell if the pipe has collapsed, shifted, or become damaged.

Are you like me and need a little you time at this point? Kids have been home for months! The cooking and cleaning is insane.

The constant laundry has me dreaming of an escape. At Fox Vein and Laser Experts, we are here to add some “You Time” back into your summer. The vacation may have been cut short or cancelled but you can find a mini staycation with an hour to clear up your skin or just escape, reboot, unwind and relax.

It’s summertime again here in south Florida. It’s hot, it’s sweaty, and to top it off, we’re spending summer under our masks which packs a double punch when it comes to trying to keep our skin clear. What was once the typical summer acne from sweaty workouts, sunscreen-clogged pores, and your body’s adjustment to the heat is now coupled with skin that is not able to breathe underneath a mask.

This is what’s now known as “maskne” - it’s the irritation and acne that appears underneath your mask.

CITY NEWS DR. FOX Continued From Pg 12 De-stress from COVID with Massage, Reiki and Sound Healing According to the CDC, one of the best ways of managing stress during this pandemic is to find ways to unwind. In other words, practice self-care and take time for yourself. If we aren’t in good emotional and physical health, we aren’t any good for ourselves or anyone else in our family.

Effective solutions for selfcare are massage, reiki and sound healing. Most people have had a relaxing or therapeutic massage, and many people utilize massage therapy on a regular basis as part of their wellness and health programs. For an hour, you are able to “escape” while a licensed massage therapist melts away your stress with their trained and certified hands. Additionally, if you suffer from chronic pain, that is often reduced during a massage session.

Reiki is an old practice of energy balancing and healing, in which the therapist transfers universal life energy through their

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, “the intention is to create deep relaxation, to help speed healing, reduce pain, and decrease other

symptoms you may be experiencing.” Most patients feel at ease and totally relaxed after a session. Many people report better sleep the night after a session.

Sound healing has been around since at least when Greeks used music to heal mental disorders. Today, sound vibrations from crystal bowls, Tibetan

singing bowls, gongs, and electronic broadcast of hi-definition recordings are used to relax the mind and body. Many believe that it also provides therapeutic benefits for anxiety, stress and insomnia.

As part of a holistic approach to health, Fox Vein and Laser Experts now provides all of these therapies in our office. Our specialist is Dayne DuVall, LMT, CAEd, who has been a reiki practitioner and licensed massage therapist for over 10. He studied massage techniques and sound healing in Bali during 7 visits to the island. His massage specialties include relaxation and meditation, deep tissue, hot stone, shiatsu, trigger point, reflexology, aromatherapy, oncology and geriatric massage.
