  • Is There Anything That Can’t Be Put In My Garbage Disposal?

    Of course. Keeping your garbage disposal is working correctly is important. In order to receive the optimal life of your garbage disposal, these things should not be put in your garbage disposal:

    • Potato skins
    • Bone fragments and eggshells
    • Banana peels
    • Fats / grease
    • Unpopped popcorn kernels
    • Onion skins
    • Fruit pits and seeds
    • Stringy vegetables like asparagus and celery
  • How Can I Check if I Have Leaking Pipes?

    If you think you have a leak but you’re not sure where it might be, there is a simple way you can check. Look at your water meter, monitor and right down the level. Make sure that no one is using the water in your home for 1-2 hours. Then go back and note the level. If your level is different, then you most certainly have a leak. Make sure to call Fox Service Company so we can solve that problem for you!

  • How Can I Prevent Leaky Pipes in My House?

    In this situation, you can do several things. One of the first things you should do is check your water pressure. The ‘safe zone’ for your water pressure is 30-50 psi. If the water pressure is higher than 60 psi for any length of time, the pressure may become a problem. If leaking pipes is the case for you, give our trusted professionals at Fox Service Company a call at (512) 488-1120. We will be happy to help.

    "I will use them again when I need an electrician."

    They sent an electrician to investigate some strange electrical problems. He identified the problem and resolved it quickly. He was courteous, respectful of my property, and clearly explained the problem he found and how he resolved it. I will use them again when I need an electrician.

    "He's a pleasant perfectionist who gets the job done RIGHT and makes safety a TOP priority as he works!"

    I had some very complicated electrical issues that took hours to troubleshoot and resolve. Dominic came out and was so patient, professional, determined, knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant. He spent over 5 hours persistently trying multiple solutions until the issues were completely resolved. No cutting corners with Dominic...He's a pleasant perfectionist who gets the job done RIGHT and makes safety a TOP priority as he works! He deserves a raise and a promotion after clearing up my mess!
