San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) February 22, 2012 -- With Mountain Cedar allergy season officially finished, the doors are about to open to welcome in Oak allergy season. Champion AC, San Antonio’s most trusted air conditioning company, will highlight Indoor Air Quality to encourage San Antonians to be aware and rid their homes of allergens, contaminants and other airborne bacteria and viruses.
According to Sylvana Research, last year’s oak pollen count raised as high as 16,000 pollen grains per cubic meter. The three allergy seasons saw some of the highest numbers it had in ten years. This year, Mountain Cedar season, which Dr. Paul Ratner described as “intense, but shorter than average,” wrapped up in early February. Typically, the season runs through the month’s end. The city saw its highest cedar count of the season, which runs from December through February, on Jan. 13 at 32,000.
Due to the intense levels of pollen and allergens, Champion AC is especially focused on the importance of clean air in the home and encouraging San Antonio residents to use various resources and tools to enhance Indoor Air Quality.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 20, 2012 -- Flood Specialists, Inc., a Chicago Water Damage Restoration company, today announced it is making some changes to their online properties. The most significant of these changes is a complete restructuring of the content provided on each of their websites. "The goal is to better organize each of our sites so our customers can get to water damage or fire damage info, or any of our other services easier than before by separating the content into different sites," said Mario Majewski, General Manager of Flood Specialists, Inc.
Their sites already have a Telephone Callback Service in place, which allows customers to leave their phone number and get a return call from a restoration professional.

Flood Specialists customers have asked for the ability to ask questions and get answers instantly instead of waiting for an emailed response.

Oakland, CA (PRWEB) February 17, 2012 -- Oakland sewer test services are being offer by many plumbers as a result of the new Oakland sewer lateral ordinance. Some of those offers include free sewer tests. Ultimately, in many cases, the sewer test ends up costing the consumer $600 - $800 if any digging must be done, which occurs in most cases. Evenflow Plumbing recommends doing research. "Ask a lot of questions," says Gary Dimodana of Evenflow Plumbing. The new Oakland sewer lateral ordinance mandates that a sewer test must be performed on all properties involved in a real estate transaction and an Oakland sewer certificate of compliance must be issued in order for the escrow to close.
If the sewer certificate is issued after an Oakland trenchless sewer replacement, it is good for 20 years. If the sewer certificate is issued on a tested line, it is good for seven years. The only exceptions are condominiums. Other triggers which make an Oakland sewer test required are renovations exceeding $100,000 and increasing the size of the water meter to a property.
