Pre-commision pipe pigging

You have a newly constructed piping system here in Florida and you’re ready to put it to work.  Now stop for a moment. Have you had your new system cleaned? It may seem contradictory to think about cleaning a brand new system. That is, until you consider that cleaning new piping;

• Fits well into the finalizing process of completing a system. The assurances that a system is now capable of functioning properly 
• Requires minimal costs to perform 
• Provides a good hydro-static test the first time its applied as the cleaning process will effectively dispel and remove all of the air in a system.
• Will eliminate the threat of foreign particles causing damage to pump impellers, valve seats, meters and other expensive inline appurtenances.
• Will resolve potential threats to the proper operation of a system caused by difficult, or wet installation environments, which are prone to the inclusion of undesirable fluids and solids in the piping while being installed.
• Will effectively remove any foreign matter, tools, debris, garbage, animals, lumber, etc., that can inadvertently find its way into a system during the course of its construction

These are just a few items to consider cleaning or pigging your new pipeline before putting it into service. Florida's sandy soil certainly presents unique challenges to your fresh piping system. Contact professionals, like the ones at Professional Piping Services, Inc to discuss the benefits and your options to help protect the sizable investment you made in new piping.

Summer is coming!

Sunny, muggy and just a bit buggy! That’s right.The dog days of summer are right around the corner and here in Florida we know what that means. We, and our plants and trees, are about to experience months of more concentrated heat, more intense humidity and a greater number of six and eight legged guests. With summer, everything seems somehow magnified by the frequent intense storms, the common threat of tropical weather, and the extreme heat. Our trees and shrubs experience this right along with us. Given all that the summer months bring, we should be especially aware of what our trees will need and do all we can to prepare them.

Now’s the time to cover your bases. It’s best to be proactive. Have your trees professionally inspected for any damage or warning signs that may require attention, like insect infestation, weak or broken limbs, signs of disease, low ceiling or otherwise overly heavy foliage. Let the friendly people at Mid Florida Tree Service help you prepare. They’ll come out and inspect your trees, answer your questions and let you know what plan of action they recommend whether that be trimming and pruning, removing weak limbs, fertilizing or some other treatment. They’ll advise you what can be done to keep your trees healthy and looking good for the summer and beyond.
