The MSPCA receives many phone calls from people who are denied homeowner's insurance solely because they own a particular breed of dog. These breeds include Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, German Shepherds, and Labrador Retrievers. Some insurance companies also refuse to insure homeowners who have dogs with a history of aggressive behavior. This information will assist you in acquiring or maintaining a homeowner's insurance policy when you own or adopt a breed of dog that may be identified by insurance companies as high risk. Why are breed-specific policies a bad idea? The MSPCA opposes ordinances and policies targeting specific breeds of dogs for several reasons: Such policies discriminate against responsible dog owners who properly train and socialize their pets.
Slab Leak Detection & Repair – Slab leaks are tricky business. They are the pipe leaks that occur in water lines running beneath a building's concrete foundation. At Biard & Crockett Plumbing Services, we utilize the latest technology to detect the exact spot of the slab leak. We then either do spot repairs, reroute the leak using a new pipe system thereby abandoning the old and leaky pipe, or sometimes use an epoxy solution, depending on the size and location of the leak. Repiping & Repair – When something is up with your water or gas lines, you need to rely on trusted experts to get the job done by handling the issue correctly. At Biard & Crockett, that is precisely what we do. Whether you have a gas leak or water leak, we can detect the location of the leak and figure out the best solution. Sometimes these leaks call for a small repair at the source of the leak. But sometimes it calls for a bigger job, depending on the size of the leak and the age of the lines. In that case, we may recommend repiping, wherein we remove all the old piping and replace it with new lines.
