Cummings Plumbing Flies Flag at Half-staff
Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling flies flag at half-staff to honor State Trooper Tyler Edenhofer
Tucson, AZ.: If you’ve watched the news, browsed your social media account, or have talked to anyone in the public sector, you probably have heard of the tragic events that led to the death of State Trooper Tyler Edenhofer.

“This tragedy is an all too real and heartbreaking reminder of the harm our heroic law enforcement officers face each and everyday for the safety and wellbeing of Arizonans, and for peace in our communities.
This morning I ask Arizonans to join me in prayer and reflection; in gratitude for Trooper Edenhofer’s service to our state, for the strength and health of Trooper Dorris, for both of their grieving families, and for all of our brave law enforcement officers who are mourning the loss of one of their own. Arizona stands in support with you all.

“I’ve directed all flags at state buildings be lowered to half-staff immediately until sunset tomorrow, Friday, July 27, 2018.” – Governor Doug Ducey, State of Arizona [1]

Kevin Cummings, Owner of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling, had this to say, “We stand in solidarity with the State of Arizona and those who Edenhofer left behind; his fiancee and his mother. This was a tragedy that did not need to happen. There is never a reason for the loss of an innocent life. We are saddened by the events that have occurred and want to let everyone in Tucson know that we are mourning. Everyone here at Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling has had to endure the loss of a family member, loved one, or friend before. Death is not something that escapes us. We know and understand the pain. However, it is always hardest when the loss comes unexpectedly and too soon.”

“He was so young,” said Elaine Lee, Office Manager of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “I keep reading the online articles and the words Edenhofer’s mother said to the DPS Director Col. Frank Milstead, ‘You just got him,’[2] keeps ringing in my ears. As a mother, I can only imagine what the family is going through. We want everyone to know that our hearts are with you through this time. We stand in support with you.”

A Tribute to Those who Serve

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”[1]

The 4th of July is when our great nation comes together to celebrate our Nation’s independence and pay tribute to all those who fought for us and for our freedom. Today, we want to take a moment in our celebration to give thanks to all of the first responders that serve our nation.

Every day, thousands of first responders put their lives on the line in order to save others. These everyday heroes do their jobs without hesitation; willing to sacrifice themselves to help those in need. It is with the courage of conviction, sureness of self, and a willingness to do what it takes that enables these heroes to run into burning buildings, head towards the line of fire, and put their lives on the line for us. “These heroes have a passion and willingness for helping others,” says Kevin Cummings, Owner of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “These are values that are instilled in them from previous generations and values that they instill in generations to come.”

In 1910, Jim Cummings (great-great-great-grandfather to Kevin Cummings), served our nation as a firefighter in New York. During this time, firefighters would have to transport water to the fire sites. This transportation process meant minutes wasted transporting water; the difference between saving and losing someone’s home. Jim felt that there had to be a better way. Maybe there could be a solution implemented where they could simply pump water wherever needed. Born from that idea became plumbing, as we know it today.

Jim saw a need to help others. He saw a problem and knew that he needed to help come up with a viable solution. Since then, the Cummings name is associated with plumbing. There are many privately owned Cummings Plumbing companies all over the nation; one still exists in New York today. This is the legacy that Jim left behind…6 generations of plumbers, instilled with the values of helping others, coming up with innovative solutions, and doing whatever is needed to help serve their communities.

Today, Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling in Tucson stands at over 75+ employees, 60+ trucks, and 3 different facilities. We fly our flag proudly, knowing what it took for us to get to where we are today. It has become a symbol of hope, courage, and of the American dream; not just for us but for others in our community as well.

Dear Sir:
This is a short note to tell you that I was very impressed with your employee, Chris Miller, when he checked out our HVAC units at our home here in Saddle Brooke. He is well mannered, knowledgeable, helpful, and a real credit to your company. In closing, thank you for flying that large U.S. Flag at your place of business on I-10.

Regards,

Al Melvin
Arizona State Senate 2009-2015

This 4th of July, we encourage you to take a moment to thank those who have served our great nation; in whatever capacity. It is to these heroes that we owe our unalienable rights: our independence. In closing, we want to leave you with this:

…I’m proud to be an American
Where at least I know I’m free
And I won’t forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I’d gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.[2]
We wish you a happy and safe holiday!

Importance of a Water Softener

The Hazards of Hard Water

Hard water is known to be both a nuisance and a major problem to most Arizona homeowners. It affects your skin when you’re bathing, your laundry when you’re doing wash, and your plumbing. It’s especially problematic to your plumbing, not only causing it to look awful, but it is a cause of major plumbing malfunctions.

So what exactly is hard water? Arizona’s water has a higher level of calcium and magnesium in it. This, over time, causes calcification. It’s easy to recognize calcification because you’ll be able to see the rock-like white and green build up on your faucets, spigots, and even in your shower heads.

Believe it or not, this calcification process is responsible for creating stalagmites and stalactites in caves. This same process is happening inside of your pipes on a daily basis.

As you can see from the image, after years of this happening, the opening for water flow becomes so narrow that even something as small as a single square of toilet paper can get caught and cause a major plumbing issue. Unfortunately, this image is not uncommon in Arizona homes.

We often find that calcification in pipes is the culprit for a lot of home plumbing issues. Not only do they cause your pipes to clog, they can puncture the actual pipe, causing sewage to leak into the ground around your home; which is a health hazard for you and your family.

Once this calcification reaches a certain point, the only thing that can be done to reverse it is to do a re-pipe of your home; which will end up costing you thousands of dollars.

Not only is hard water a hazard to your plumbing, it’s also bad for your home in general. Here’s how:

  • Hard water doesn’t taste very good. Most people who have hard water realize that the water tastes “dirty”. This is because of the extra minerals. To fix this problem, they end up buying bottled water from the store; an additional expense.
  • It causes clothing to feel rough or scratchy. By adding extra mineral deposits onto clothing, after laundering, the clothing is often left feeling rough and scratchy without the use of some form of fabric softener. Again, the purchase of fabric softener is an additional expense.
  • Hard water is harsh on the skin. Arizona is already known to be a dry climate because we live in the desert. But hard water just makes it worse; requiring more skin care products, like lotion, to keep our skin soft. More additional expenses.
  • Hard water can ruin your appliances. Do you have a coffee maker that you use? Ever notice how the appliances never seem to last? That’s because the calcium builds up in those pipes as well, causing malfunctions of expensive appliances. The list of expenses keeps climbing.
  • Dirty looking dishes. Have you ever washed glasses only to notice water spots and dirty looking plates after they’ve dried? Hard water is the culprit for causing it. To fix this, most people will buy a dishwashing aid rinse (like Jet Dry) or rewash the dishes. Either way, this adds to the ever-climbing expenses to fix the problems that hard water causes.

As you can see, hard water is responsible for a lot of things that happen in your home on a daily basis; all minor inconveniences that you’ve just grown accustomed to. But the biggest problem of all that hard water will cause is the need to re-pipe your home. This will be a major expense; costing you thousands of dollars, time, and inconvenience.

Now that you know what it is, how do you fix it? The solution is simple: a Water Softener.

A water softener replaces the calcium and magnesium in your water with sodium or potassium. The difference between calcium and magnesium ions and sodium or potassium ions is that the sodium and potassium ions do not cause scaling or calcification. The water softener filters and distributes water that is conditioned to provide your home with the best water.

By having a water softener installed, you basically mitigate all of the issues listed above.

Call us to come and do a FREE water analysis and provide you with an estimate on what it would cost to have a water softener installed into your home.

Kenneth and Danny jetted all the waste lines in our house out to the street sewer. They flushed out an unbelievable amount of nasty sludge from under our island kitchen sink. Our house is only 12 years old and we bought it 9 months ago. The slow draining kitchen sink has been an issue since shortly after we moved in. After jetting the waste lines, they scoped the lines with a camera and proved to us the pipes were clear The Cummings Plumbing technicians were extremely professional, clean and thorough.

Earlier that day, we had a nationally-known competing plumbing company out, who told us they put a camera through the lines, and that we had a “belly” in a couple of our pipes–that the original lines probably had not been properly backfilled. (They never actually showed us the video.) They told us that correcting the problem would mean jackhammering up our ceramic tile floor and re-laying the pipes. It turned out, there was no bellying in the pipes at all. And, their estimate for jetting all the waste lines was more than twice what the Cummings estimate was! Turns out that the competing company is “commission based” on their sales, whereas Cummings techs are paid by the hour. I’m SO thankful that our realtor recommended calling Cummings for a second opinion!

Cummings Plumbing Receives Certificate of Commendation
Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling receives Certificate of Commendation for Patriotic Display
Tucson, AZ.: On Thursday, May 3rd, Kevin Cummings, Owner of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling, received a Certificate of Commendation for Exemplary Patriotism in the display of the Flag of the United States of America from The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.

In March 2018, Kevin purchased a new flagpole to show his patriotism; a symbol of the American Dream. Since then, the United States flag has flown proudly at Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling; standing at 80′ tall and visible from quite a distance. “I’m going to repeat what I said last time,” said Kevin. “Whenever I drive to our office and see the flag, I’m reminded of what this great country is about: the American dream. It’s about us coming and working together to make something great happen. This nation is the land of freedom and opportunities.”

Elaine Lee, Office Manager of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling, said, “We were really surprised when the representatives of The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution arrived and presented us with this certificate of commendation. We were not expecting it. It’s such an honor to be recognized for doing something that we are proud to do.”

About The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution: In 1876, there were many celebrations to commemorate the centennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. As part of this patriotic fervor, a group of men in the San Francisco, California, area who were descendants of patriots involved in the American Revolution, formed an organization called the Sons of Revolutionary Sires. Their objective was to have a fraternal and civic society to salute those men and women who pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to the battle for independence from Great Britain. The Sons of Revolutionary Sires desired to keep alive their ancestors’ story of patriotism and courage in the belief that it is a universal one of man’s struggle against tyranny – a story which would inspire and sustain succeeding generations when they would have to defend and extend our freedoms. Out of the Sons of Revolutionary Sires grew the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, which was organized on April 30, 1889, the one-hundredth anniversary of the inauguration of George Washington as our nation’s first president.

About Old Glory – the Official United States Flag: The U.S. flag is a strong symbol of American identity and national pride. Also called Old Glory, The Star Spangled Banner, or simply The Stars and Stripes, the U.S. flag has a colorful history and has undergone many changes since the first official flag of 1777. The stars are a symbol of the heavens and the goals to which humankind aspires; stripes are symbolic of rays of light from the sun. Thirteen stripes represent the original thirteen colonies that declared independence from England; fifty stars symbolize the current 50 United States. White signifies purity and innocence, red signifies valor and bravery; and blue signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

Cummings Plumbing Makes Acquisition
Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling acquires Baker Brothers Plumbing Heating and Cooling
Kevin Cummings, Owner of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling, announced that Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling has acquired Baker Brothers Plumbing Heating and Cooling; effective immediately. The acquisition has been something that Kevin has wanted since October 2017.

“It made good business sense to acquire Baker Brothers Plumbing Heating and Cooling,” said Kevin. “Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling has been growing substantially so we started looking at different business opportunities. We reviewed Baker Brothers’ book of business, their income to debt ratio, their employees’ credentials, and their liabilities. In the end, we decided that this would be a smart and strategic business move for us. Baker Brothers Plumbing Heating and Cooling has been in the Tucson market since 2003 so they have a good saturation here. In addition, they are a top-rated company that focuses on repipes; something I want to concentrate on.”

With this acquisition, Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling gains a company that has 15 years of plumbing experience in the Tucson market, trained office staff and technicians, a fleet of plumbing trucks, and a 5-acre yard/facility in Rillito, AZ. During the transition period, Baker Brothers’ customers (both past and present) may, at their discretion, request Baker Brothers technicians instead of Cummings technicians. “We understand that customers build relationships with their technicians,” said Kevin. “We see that here at Cummings. It’s often that a customer will call us asking for a specific technician to go out to their home; one that they know and trust. We pride ourselves in creating these personal relationships with our customers and do not want to take that away from Baker Brothers’ customers. We are confident, however, that our new Baker Brothers’ family (both employees and customers) will acclimate to the changes as we work hard to both earn and keep their trust, respect, and loyalty.”

As of 5 pm MST today, Baker Brothers’ doors will be officially closed and Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling will take over. All phone calls, website inquiries, and social media will be redirected and handled appropriately. “We are excited about this move,” said Kevin. “The Cummings team is working hard to make everything a smooth and seamless transition for both Baker Brothers’ employees and customers. This new chapter is going to be very good for both us and our customers.”

New Flagpole

Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling puts up new Flagpole

If you’ve driven past Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling on I-10 lately, you may have noticed something peculiar – it seems our flagpole has more than doubled in size overnight.

Kevin, the owner of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling, decided to upgrade the flagpole by increasing its size to a ginormous 80 feet tall.

“It’s something that I’ve been wanting to do for a while,” said Kevin. “There was nothing wrong with the previous pole that we had in place; however, in light of recent events, we wanted to show our patriotism. Cummings Plumbing started in the US and has employed many employees over the six generations that we’ve been in business. We currently have a staff of over 57 employees; all hardworking Americans, making an honest living. Whenever I drive to our office and see the flag, I’m reminded of what this great country is about: the American dream. To each of us, that dream is different; there’s nothing wrong with that. But what’s amazing is that we all come and work together to make something great happen.”

“If people couldn’t find us before, they definitely won’t have a problem finding us now,” said Elaine Lee, Office Manager of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “Piggybacking on what Kevin said, we do have amazing employees that work for us. Each day, it’s Kevin’s goal to see all of their smiling faces. We work really hard to make sure that our employees are happy and that employee morale is high. We’ve learned that caring about our employees translates directly to our customers. The new flagpole is just another reminder that we live in a wonderful land of opportunity. That fence swings both ways. Not only are we able to help our employees provide for their families, we, in turn, have the opportunity to employ hard working people that are dedicated to getting the job done correctly for our customers and who are loyal to us. That means a lot.”
