NBC Channel 5 covering the Parks Flood Control System

Our expertise has been recognized not only by our clientele, but by television news personnel as well.
On one occasion, Channel 5 presented segments covering the Parks Double Guard Backwater Valve System. This included showing television viewers the Parks' Double Guard Flood Control System (which we also exhibit on company premises), and having Parks Plumbing personnel explain their functions. The television crew then asked to see a nearby installation. On site, they asked the homeowners if they were satisfied with the Parks Double Guard Backwater Valve System. The homeowners replied that before Parks Plumbing installed the Double GuardFlood Control System, they would sit on their basement stairs and cry helplessly as their finished basement took on several feet of water. Now, however, over the many years span that our system had been in place, they said they did not have any sewer backup.

On another occasion, Channel 5 covered our plumbing and sewer personnel as they responded to a winter waterline freeze-up emergency. The television crew had Parks' plumbers show their viewers how frozen waterlines are thawed, de-iced, and how they are then repaired if necessary.
