trouble shooting rain leaders that were abandoned because no one could figure out where the problem was. Nothing we can’t troubleshoot or make a plan of action to solve any drain issue. Doing some work with Delbert Adams construction next to Stevenson University.

was out this morning performing preventive maintenance at the new Olive Garden off Route 543 in Harford County.

I’ve done a significant amount of work in the Beech Creek community for Lennar Homes, and it’s impressive to see how much this area has grown with new housing developments and restaurants. Harford County continues to expand, and it’s great to be part of helping keep this infrastructure running smoothly from the ground up.

wishing everyone a Merry Christmas . Hope everyone’s day is full of fun, laughter and the reflection of what Christmas brought into the world.
Jesus is the reason for the season. God Bless everyone.

P.S I’ll say it and say it again. Garbage disposal’s only cause food to become FOG( fats, oils and grease ) in your drains . There is nothing good about them. Scrape your plate in the trash than wash accordingly.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone !!!!!!

Remember , garbage disposal or not, nothing should ever go in your drains relating to food. Nothing !!!!!!!
