Summertime is upon us again and your Outstanding Plumbing team want to make sure it is a happy, healthy and safe Summer for you all. As the temperature climbs, please check out the fun Summer tips the Outstanding team has gathered... Keep Your Cool There are actions we should take when summer temperatures soar, says Dr. Keim, and the weather is not providing any relief via cloudy days or afternoon thunderstorms to cool temperatures. Heat illness, in almost all cases, can be prevented by ensuring access to an air-conditioned environment. Other things you can do to stay cool: * Drink plenty of cool, nonalcoholic, non-caffeinated beverages. Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink. * Avoid big meals and hot foods. * Take cool showers or baths. Swim in an unheated pool. * Stay indoors. If your home is not air-conditioned, use ceiling fans and window fans to circulate air. Keep a spray bottle of water close by and mist yourself frequently to take advantage of cooling evaporation. * If you must be out, do not do anything strenuous during the hottest part of the day. * If you regularly exercise outdoors, do so early in the morning or in the evening when the temperature drops. Reduce your exercise intensity and slowly build back up. On the hottest days, try walking in an air-conditioned mall, working out in an air-conditioned gym or switching to water exercise. * Wear light-colored, light-weight clothing. Have a better than great day and remember Outstanding is here to serve you with any of your plumbing, heating, cooling, drain cleaning needs, and so much more. We are Outstanding to have around the house. 1-888-707-7211 Rob Cartelli
