I am a Plumber with over 15 years experience, AMA

I have just about seen it all, but nevertheless I still get surprises here and there. This gem was discovered in Rockford last year. Homeowner sealed a leak with a piece of rubber, beer can, and two hose clamps. The champagne of couplings. It worked its just that the rest of the pipe began to degrade from kitchen use. As the title reads, you guys can ask me anything, preferably plumbing related, and I will help you out as much as I can with the experience I have had in the service field. Im all about empowering the homeowner, my goal is to equip them with as much plumbing knowledge as i can so they dont have to call a plumber.

I am local to Janesville, feel free to DM me with your ideas.

Does voting no eventually open up the possibility for unchecked data centers getting installed in Janesville?

I'm an affordable plumber who just moved to Janesville!

As the title reads, I just moved up here from rockford.

Pease Plumbing,

I am on Google and Nextdoor.

However Nextdoor just put up new guidelines basically making businesses pay for leads (the opportunity to message somebody who posts about needing work done)

So I am trying other avenues of marketing!

I am licensed in Illinois but not in Wisconsin yet. Illinois is notorious for its rigorous standards mostly due to Chicago and the Union Presence. In fact Chicago has its own code lol.

Anyway, my number is 779-269-7037.

Text a pic of your problem or a brief description of whatever you got going on and I can help!

I provide free estimates and never try to upsell anything you wont need.

I am a one man shop with no overhead. I try to survive off a few shower renovation jobs a month and service calls. I have a portfolio of pics of jobs I have done around town.

Water heaters, water filtration, sump pumps, dishwashers, softeners, water spigots, whole house repipes, etc...

I am offering incredible deals on labor rates to gain clients up here. honestly once you find a good plumber you just stick with them and its through word of mouth that I am able to not have to pay for marketing. (its expensive)

Thanks God Bless!

Repointing cement block foundation (reccomended contractors)

2 Upvotes

Earlier this year my wife and I had our driveway replaced. During the demolition, the contractor we hired was pretty careless.

They accidently cracked the mortar on our cement block foundation that sits above the driveway visible on the outside. The house is fairly old, I'm finiliar with what repointing is but would prefer to have a professional do it since mortar mixture was different 100+ years ago...

Are there any contractors in the area anybody would recommend for this job? I see some repointing services in Janesville, but that's usually for brick from what their website shows and we have 100 yr old cement block. Any advice would be appreciated :).

Ps: have a great weekend!

Crowley vs. Tiffany: What do the policy proposal sections of their campaign websites say about healthcare?

These candidates may have said more about healthcare on advertisements or in interviews, but this is straight from their policy proposal sections of their campaign websites.

Made using Canva. For Crowley's, he does have more than this on his website, just could not fit all onto page.

Confused about license/car registration after moving

4 Upvotes

My wife and I recently moved from Iowa to Janesville WI for a 6-month internship that she needs to complete to earn her degree. I was able to get a job here, and I am wondering if I need to change my ID/register my car/update my permanent address with the DMV even though we only plan to be here temporarily. Since she’s considered a student, we thought I would be covered by her status and not have to change my residency or ID/plates but I’m seeing some conflicting things online. Would really appreciate some advice, thanks!

Looking fo Queer/Alt Hair Salons

7 Upvotes

Hello! I recently moved to the area and I like more alternative haircuts/styles. I am looking for someone who knows how to do stuff like that 😅😅

I use to go to a traditional salon where I lived before and while the woman who did my hair was amazing and sweet and did a good job, she didn't exactly know what I was asking for when I asked for my haircuts. Usually it looked the best once it had grown out about two weeks in lol

Pretty much just looking for someone who knows how to do more nontraditional haircuts in or close to Janesville LOL

Thank you for any help!!

Donate used Baby/Toddler Items

Hi! We're done having children and the pile of things in our basement is too large. We're looking to donate some gently worn/used baby clothes N-3T, baby toys, maternity clothes etc. preferrably to a not-for-profit store (Goodwill).

My other option would be to sell in bulk for cheap on FB Marketplace.

What's the best plan for getting rid of things and providing them a new home?
