2 Bioheating Cooling Plumbing Electrical GREAT INSTALLATIONS We talk a lot about our outstanding products but it s always better to show and tell. That s why we re pleased to feature photos of 3 jobs we recently tackled and some nice words from the customers we helped. 1. Attic encapsulation featuring AirTight spray foam insulation Dallas Quick had E.T. Lawson install AirTight spray foam attic insulation in the attic of his Newport News home. Installing spray foam as a barrier between the home and the outside environment is one of the best methods to insulate and air-seal any surface with a single product and it consistently outperforms traditional fiberglass insulation. AirTight is a great product... you get more bang for your buck. 2. two bath remodels featuring Bath Planet products Christina Mosely has two new Bath Planet remodels in her home, thanks to E.T. Lawson. With a wide selection of acrylic bath system solutions, along with cutting-edge accessible options, you can have a beautiful yet accommodating bathroom remodel in as little as one day. 2 I have a 1950s home with dated bathrooms. My Bath Planet remodels are beautiful! The installers were courteous and neat, and the cost was unbeatable. 3. Crawl space encapsulation (and more) This large project is indicative of what can go wrong if crawl spaces are left to themselves in tidal or low areas. E.T. Lawson s sales manager R.A. Allsbrook installed crawl space encapsulation and a new dehumidifier, and replaced joists at a church parsonage in Hampton. No miracles needed just excellent work by the E.T. Lawson team! There was lots of moisture under the house and we needed to remedy the situation. E.T. Lawson did a great job of making a great, clean crawl space.

A Maytag Dual Process Ultra Violet Air Purification System or a Maytag Parabolic Germicidal Ultra Violet System can help make a difference in your indoor air quality.

4 WINTER 2013 THE PLUMBING PAGE Add a luxurious and hygienic bidet to your existing toilet. Introducing the Toto Washlet AS LOW AS $ FITS ALMOST ANY STANDARD TOILET When it comes to comfort, hygiene and the personal satisfaction of feeling clean, there s nothing like a Washlet. Installing a Washlet is as simple as changing a toilet seat, but the features and benefits far exceed any toilet you ve ever owned. And, a Washlet costs far less than installing a real bidet, which can run thousands of dollars. Bidets are standard in homes in many countries around the globe, and are quickly becoming popular in America. The Washlet is installed onto your existing toilet. With the touch of a button, a nozzle extends from under the seat for soothing warm-water cleansing (between 86º and 104º). Users can set the water from the nozzle to pulsate or oscillate for maximum comfort and cleaning. Enjoy the ease and comfort of hands-free drying with the temperature-adjustable warm air dryer. The specially designed contour seat is heated to provide maximum comfort. An integrated sensor maintains the desired temperature between 86º and 104º. The self-cleaning function cleans and sanitizes the entire antibacterial nozzle before and after each use. Call E.T. Lawson today to learn more about the Washlet. The SoftClose lid closes gently to eliminate seat slamming; also available is a lid activated by sensors to automatically open. Uses less than a gallon of water per day for the average family. You use less toilet paper and reduce the strain on natural resources, for a more sustainable future. Perfect for individuals with physical disabilities. The Washlet makes independent toileting possible for many people, affording greater independence. Our customers really appreciate the Washlet We love our Toto bidet so much, we want to put it in our second bathroom. Everyone should have it. Donna Woodward 4
