Rise and Shine: The Early Bird Catches the Leak
My day as a Thorsen’s-Norquist Plumbing, Rooter Service, Heat & Air technician starts bright and early at 6 AM. After a quick breakfast and a strong cup of coffee, I’m out the door, ready to tackle whatever challenges await me in Turlock, Modesto, and the surrounding areas.
Morning: Battling Frozen Pipes in Ceres
My first call of the day takes me to Ceres, where a family is dealing with frozen pipes. As I arrive, I’m greeted by worried homeowners who’ve been without water since the night before. I quickly get to work:
1. Locate the frozen section of pipe
2. Apply heat using specialized equipment
3. Check for any damage or leaks once thawed
4. Provide advice on preventing future freezing
By mid-morning, water is flowing freely, and I’ve got a satisfied customer ready to face the day.
Afternoon: HVAC Emergencies in Modesto
After a quick lunch break, I’m off to Modesto to handle an urgent HVAC call. A local business is experiencing a complete air conditioning breakdown on one of the hottest days of the year. Time is of the essence as I:
– Diagnose the issue (a faulty compressor)
– Explain the problem and solution to the business owner
– Replace the compressor and recharge the system
– Test the unit to ensure proper functioning
As I wrap up, the cool air starts flowing, and the grateful employees can finally get back to work comfortably.
Evening: Routine Maintenance in Turlock
My day winds down with a scheduled maintenance visit in Turlock. This proactive approach helps prevent future issues and keeps systems running efficiently. I perform a thorough check of the home’s plumbing and HVAC systems, including:
– Inspecting pipes for leaks or corrosion
– Cleaning drains and checking for potential clogs
– Changing air filters and lubricating moving parts in the HVAC system
– Discussing energy-saving tips with the homeowner
As the sun sets, I head back to the Thorsen’s-Norquist office to file my reports and prepare for another day of keeping our community comfortable and safe.
Working for Thorsen’s-Norquist Plumbing, Rooter Service, Heat & Air is never dull. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities to help people in Turlock, Modesto, Ceres, Riverbank, Atwater, and Oakdale. Whether it’s fixing a leaky faucet or installing a state-of-the-art HVAC system, I go to bed each night knowing I’ve made a difference in my community.
