As you enjoy, or lament the warmth, be sure to keep an eye out for flooding. With rain in the forecast, it's important to be sure your sump pump is functioning properly. It might be a good idea to get a water alarm installed--have your bases covered for when guests arrive in town tonight!

Tis the season of giving! As the holiday rush begins, we are encouraged not to lose sight of the fact that giving is often more important than receiving. At F.H. Furr, we believe in these values not just during the holidays, but all year round.

With almost a week before Christmas, homeowners are frantic to get their shopping knocked out before that dreaded Christmas Eve panic hits! Even if you're one of the lucky ones who started their shopping early and are only adding last minute items to the growing mound of gifts under the tree, have you considered what you're missing?

When most homeowners picture a plunger, they imagine a wooden stick with a red suction cup at the end. While it’s true that this classic image is indeed a common type of plunger, there are actually several different plunger designs in use today. The best type of plunger for the job depends on the type of clog affecting the pipe, as well as the size of the drainpipe suffering from the blockage. A taze plunger, often called a “plumber’s plunger,” is a powerful tool that many homeowners have never seen, but is appropriate in certain situations to clear out very stubborn clogs. While you can purchase a taze plunger for your home, you will want to talk to your Fairfax plumber about how and when it’s appropriate to use a taze plunger to clear your plumbing.
