I have had several truckmounts in the last 15 years, I love cleaning tile & carpet, I love marketing, I love working on my website and seo. I hate dealing with truckmount repairs and maintenance. I am wondering how the service is in other parts of the country? The two closest repair facilities...

So we use Housecall Pro and love it, but in the pre covid 19 days we would always hand the customer our phone or tablet to sign for cc payments, this helped us get a lot of tips because it was offered. Now we are hands free, we don't touch the customers card and they don't touch our phones...

Although I have never been a big poster, I have been coming to this forum for a long time! Reading, learning, and it has also been very entertaining at times! I would stay up until 1am sometimes because there was so much posting going on that it was hard to read it all. There was a business...

Can I use Cat pump oil in a general pump?

So I developed a bad water leak coming from the brass nipple connector that connects the unloader to this block. The brass piece is where you can see the white teflon tape, and it's leaking from the side that goes into the block. This is a TCS Chief II, my question is what does this block do...

I am tired of wands that drip on peoples wood floors...so I am on a mission to simplify my wands so they all have the same valves and parts so I can keep them in stock and change out as needed. I am not sure why, but my two main wands are from different manufacturers but look identical, except...

I love the flash cuffs and have them on both trucks. When I installed them on the first truck a few years ago I had no problem threading them all the way on. The newer truck has what appears to be the same looking 2" blue vac hose, however I can't seem to get them to thread on more than a little...

I have 2 vans, one with a el diablo and the other with a TCS Chief 2. I use the same Prochem titanium wands on both trucks but we struggle with streaking on the TCS Truck. The wand on the EL Diablo truck has 5 jets 80015's and the Wand on the TCS truck has 5 jets 9501's. El Diablo has a roots...

We just had to reschedule our first job due to high winds and power outages. Gusts in excess of 70 MPH. Would you go out in high winds if the customer still had power? My pilot light won't stay lit in this wind either. I was just getting the van ready when they called and cancelled and the rear...

I just bought a TCS ChiefII that has only 40 hours on it. Today was the first time I got to use it on a job and had a couple of issues. This was a tile and grout job and we had the thermostat set at about 200 and the pressure at 1000 psi. We pre sprayed the area with no problems but when we...

Just picked up a new van. What do you think it's worth? Then I'll tell you what I paid. It's about as new as it get while still being used. Fully loaded 2016 chevy express extended 3500 6 liter with less than 3000 miles, hasn't even had it's first oil change. This thing has it all...power...

I have a PMF 15" titanium wand that had a clogged jet, as I was cleaning the jet I dropped the small stainless ball bearing down the ladies kitchen sink. Now the jet drips like crazy. I cannot find the little ball online, where can I get this? I found what looks to be the strainer on jon dons...

So yesterday I got the new wand and devastator set up, and I also installed flash cuffs to compliment them. I was just wondering how others set theirs up. I used a hose clamp to attach a starter to the devastator, which seems to work well. I also have a standard 2 in swivel cuff to go on the...

I have read many threads over the years knocking guys using the 1 1/2 wand that comes with most machines. I always bowed my head in shame and kept doing it. To make matters worse I have been using that stupid little plastic filter. No more! business has been booming and I have been upgrading...

So our first job on Monday morning was a million dollar water front home, a stunning house. We cleaned all the carpet in the home, collected our check and left. Later that evening I see the house on the news...just a pile of ash, completely burned to the ground! The people were at a neighbors...

There once was a time that we could go online and list our business in many online directories such as YP, Yahoo, Mapquest...and hundreds of others. This was a good way to get backlinks to your website for SEO juice... for the main reason of being found on the giant Google. Now many of these...

We are expected to get about 30" today...my phone has become dead as soon as they started talking about it. I had to call it from my other phone to make sure it wasn't broken. We started off with a really mild winter (almost non-existent) and we have stayed busy because of it, I was lovin...

My first truck did not have a fresh water tank, so they are new to me. The tank I have has a place to hook up the garden hose to refill. It seems there is a toilet bowl type of float in there but it is not functioning properly and I have flooded my van 3 times in the past 5 months. I can't get...

Fredericksburg Va is one of the most historical places in the US. There is so much history from both the Revolutionary period as well as the Civil War era. Many days we have to go in the back entrances to neighborhoods because we can't drive commercial vehicles through the battle fields. There...

A couple of months back I was working on seo and filled out a profile on porch.com, hopefully to add another citation. I uploaded lots of pictures of jobs I did in my area along with all my contact info and website. I signed on a while later and added some more pictures of our work...all was...

Got to my first job and was on my 2nd room.... I hand the wand off to my son and head to the van for some stain magic. When I get out there I immediately noticed a drop of oil drip off the ceiling, I looked up I realized the whole inside of the van was covered in oil. I quickly shut down to see...

My friend just moved to Palm City Florida from Virginia, I have been referring all my carpet repairs/restretching to him for several years. If there are any cleaners in this area that don't do their own repairs, give him a call, he could use the work... He does all sorts of handyman work too...
