Christmas Miracle: Sewer Pump Rescue
Christmas Miracle: Sewer Pump Rescue
When our team at Olson Specialty Services received a call just days before Christmas, we knew we were in for quite a challenge. Kristen Downs reached out to us with an urgent plumbing emergency—her sewer pump had broken, causing a distressing sewage backup in not only her basement bathroom but also her utility room. It was indeed a "sh%& show," and we immediately recognized the importance of timely action.
Before: The Chaos of Sewage Backup
Kristen explained that the sewer pump had been functioning for 37 years, but this failure left her facing a mess just as the holiday season was about to commence. Understandably, she was overwhelmed and knew she needed a team that could respond quickly and efficiently. Having had a positive experience with our team during her prior home repairs, she didn't hesitate to call us again.
The Transformation: Quick Response and Expertise
Upon receiving the call, we swiftly assembled our team—Brian, Rich, and Chuck—who promptly arrived at Kristen's home. Upon inspection, the crew efficiently diagnosed the broken sewer pump and found a comparable Zoeller sewer pump fitting for her home.
Emergency Response: Arriving the same day, our team worked meticulously to ensure a rapid resolution.
Expert Installation: Despite the challenging removal of the cast iron top of the old pump, our experienced technicians managed to replace it with the new model, re-piping and sealing everything temporarily before her holiday guests arrived.
Kristen could then clean up the initial mess and breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that our team had set everything right for her in her time of distress. Plus, we promised to return after the holidays to finalize the installation with a new reinforced lid, ensuring everything would be secure and functional.
After: A Happy Customer and a Job Well Done
Sure enough, we kept our promise, returning on January 2nd to complete the job. This time, we not only sealed up the sewer lid but also helped by installing a new toilet that Kristen had purchased—an additional service we were more than happy to provide, no questions asked!
> "Two weeks later, I received a very fair bill. I 100% recommend Olson Plumbing. They are responsive, thorough and provide service at a reasonable price. Thank you Brian, Rich, and Chuck for answering all of our questions and concerns in a timely manner! It's hard to know who to trust these days. Olson Plumbing is on speed dial now for all of our plumbing needs." - Kristen Downs

Transforming Heating Systems in Charlotte
Transforming Heating Systems in Charlotte
At Olson Specialty Services, we take pride in our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Recently, we had the opportunity to work on a unique project for a local bed and breakfast in Charlotte that involved upgrading and repairing complex heating and cooling systems across multiple lodging suites.
The Before: A Challenge of Complexity
When Sally, the owner of the bed and breakfast, reached out to us, she faced significant challenges. Her property featured thirteen distinct heating and cooling systems, each with unique specifications and varying degrees of wear and malfunction. Having previously built the inn over twenty years ago, she had maintained these systems herself but was now encountering issues that required professional attention.
What made the situation particularly challenging was that some of the equipment had been discontinued, complicating the repair process. Sally expressed her concerns, emphasizing the need for expertise in troubleshooting these intricate systems rather than simply replacing parts.
> "Olson came to my rescue to fix problematical work that others had installed," said Sally in her review. "Piece by piece, those thirteen complicated systems have been refined and upgraded as repairs were made."
The Transformation: Our Process
Our team of skilled technicians took on the challenge with enthusiasm. We approached the project in stages, starting with a comprehensive assessment of each system to diagnose the issues at hand. This involved:
- Detailed inspections of heating and cooling units to identify both obvious and subtle problems.
- Thorough explanations to Sally about the complexities of the systems, ensuring she understood each component’s role.
- The application of tailored repairs and upgrades to each unit, improving efficiency and functionality.
We utilized our extensive knowledge gained from years of experience in the field to rectify the less-than-ideal installations left by others. This not only involved fixing known issues but also optimizing the systems for better performance.
The After: A Successful Outcome
The results have been substantial. Sally now enjoys the following benefits:
- Enhanced efficiency, resulting in lower energy costs for the inn.
- Improved reliability of the heating and cooling systems, crucial for guest comfort.
- Peace of mind, knowing that she has a reliable team to maintain these complex mechanical systems.
Sally's review encapsulated her experience perfectly. She expressed gratitude for the prompt and effective service our technicians provided, stating, "Many thanks for all of the rescues and getting our inn's buildings back up quickly when systems fail."
As a testament to our dedication, Sally's continued support includes freshly-baked muffins as a token of appreciation for our hard work!
Conclusion
At Olson Specialty Services, we believe that successful home improvement projects hinge on experience, expertise, and communication. Our team is proud to have transformed Sally’s bed and breakfast, ensuring her heating and cooling systems are not only operational but also optimized for the best performance.
