Stores in this book

A few chapters link to a store page where a part or product named in the chapter is something a reader may want to look at. All four businesses below are run by the same team as this book, and the team earns from their sales and services. The link is marked as such every time it appears, right beside it.

• PlumbingSupplyAndMore, a plumbing supply store, is linked from chapters on cleanouts, pipe insulation, water shutoff valves, water heaters, well tanks, faucet parts and water heater pans.
• SoftPro Water Systems, a water treatment store, is linked from the chapters on the wellhead, softeners after a flood and iron in well water.
• Quality Water Treatment, a water treatment store, is linked from the chapters on softeners after a flood and hard water.
• Central Plumbing & HVAC (its plumbing service page) is a plumbing and heating service company in Bucks and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, run by the same team as this book. It is a service firm, not a store, and it does not work in Texas; it is listed here only so the relationship is out in the open.

The rules we follow

Store links in chapters appear only in a marked box, never in the middle of a safety step. No chapter tells you a product will make flooded water safe; a flooded well still needs disinfection and a lab test, and flooded equipment still needs a licensed pro. We print no prices and no rankings, and nothing in the book is a review. You never need to buy anything to use this book.
