PermitUsNow, a building permitting and expediting firm located in Texas, is providing practical residential repair permits to homeowners and contractors in case of broken water pipes due to incoming winter freeze. Parts of Texas are expecting to have sub-zero wind chills and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has assured Texans that the electrical grid is ready this time to handle freeze.
PermitUsNow team members meet with City of Houston Permitting plan reviewers, inspectors and other permitting staff on a regular basis to discuss client permitting projects. The firm knows the importance of being prepared for possible damage caused by winter conditions and to alert homeowners and contractors steps to consider when requiring a repair permit. Permitting tips to fix water damage and busted pipes are available at permitusnow.com.
“We’re in Texas; and we know that winter storm Uri that occurred earlier this year still have a lot of folks scared of possible frozen pipes leading to water damage to their homes. We do what we do best and that’s being a great resource share permitting tips to homeowners and Contractors if homes repairs are needed,” said Helen Callier, president of PermitUsNow.
PermitUsNow said that its goal is to help Texans minimize any future financial hit by sharing insights on when to pull repair permits due to busted pipes. For example, if extensive damage to pipes incurs and is over the minimum length of water pipes that is specified as minor work by a local permitting jurisdiction then a plumbing repair work is required. If a homeowner decides to expand the scope of repair work and wants to move walls and remodel home, then a building permit is needed for structural work.
Additionally, PermitUsNow is keeping its 1.844.PERMIT.4 toll-free line open during the holiday to answer residential permitting questions.
