before and after restaurant hood cleaning

Gunk inside restaurant hoods could ignite and cause deaths and property loss. It is strongly advised to clean these out. Here is a before and after shot of one that we cleaned out recently.

We’ve also been working on aggregating more descriptive images for our visitors to make well-informed decisions. We know that an image can say a thousand words so our graphic designers are meticulously composing new banners, icons, ’tiles’ and much more. Here is an example of an excellent image that simply communicates.

We hope that all these tweaks and upgrades to the user interface will render a more pleasant and informative experience. Since our web designers are trained to implement changes on-command, you should be seeing all of these upgrades very soon. Cheers from Spectrum.

Home page of the new Spectrum site.

New look

The re-design of the company web page was foretold in a prophetic blog post we put up a few weeks back. After all the anticipation, ‘internet hype’,  false hopes and many delays the website has been posted! It boasts an HTML 5 compliant infrastructural with faster load times and tons of new information about keeping fire safe. Make your way over there to check us out and give us some feedback via the contact form. The contact form could also be used to get a quote on fire protection services or to say hello to the employee who screens our messages.

 

Information overhaul

More Info

The refreshed look wouldn’t have been possible without the endless toil of our underpaid web designers. Let us never make mention of them ever again. All jokes aside these men have done an amazing job on this project and we are all very grateful of them. This project is going to help fortify our internet presence and really give our clients a more user-friendly experience. The old website had become old and dusty. Not to mention browsing that thing was mildly hazardous. The revamped site was more than necessary and long overdue.

Relevant tool tips and facts

Tip of Day

Much of the work done on this website was on the content. There was an intensive overhaul on the information we had up there. We wanted to make sure that every thing was up-to-date and accurate. In the process there was a large amount of information added. The information is there to help guide you and inform you so that you could make an informed decision on keeping fire safe. One our favorite features we put up were these little tool tips that give you a relevant fact about the service you’re looking at.  Look out for those! they could be incredibly helpful.

These are only a few of the things that make our new webpage infinitely better than the last. We would like to flaunt many more features but this should be appropriate for today. We wouldn’t want to overwhelm out readers with excessive amounts of awesome! Thank you very much for reading our blog, please subscribe. Much love from everyone at Spectrum.

How important are your fire hydrants?

Checking the static pressure of a fire hydrant

flowing fire hydrant testing

Flowing fire hydrant testing

When we inspect your fire hydrants, among many factors there are two that stand out. The flowing pressure and the static pressure. Its important to understand how these two readings affect your safety and why its mandated to inspect you fire hydrants annually. The pressure of water flow is important to deliver the water needed to put out a fire. If the pressure and volume are inadequate, putting out a fire would be nearly impossible. In the event of a large unexpected fire, it may become necessary to use more than one fire hydrant. For this reason all related fire hydrants must be tested and exercised.

Over time pipes tend to experience blockage by rocks and other clogging agents. In an emergency accumulated rocks will affect the functionality of the hydrant. Another common safety issue that occurs when fire hydrants are neglected is that the opening valve becomes jammed and it would take precious time that could be otherwise used to save lives. Considering the speed of fire, you cannot afford to wait that long. Stay safe, exercise your fire hydrants. For questions about this procedure give us a call or fill out this quick form and we’ll call you as soon as possible.
