We're back with Ask The Experts with Texas Green Plumbing.
Roger Wakefield and his friend Ryan Harper with Propelio.
And I guess let's go ahead and jump into.
Alright.
Do you enjoy social media?
Sometimes.
I'll let you go first.
I'll say sometimes, you know, on one hand it's like, you know, I've been accused; man,
you're always on there.
It's like you think if I wasn't working I'd be on it that much?
Like I do it for work.
Like anytime I just do some silly post or silly live - I do live and drives, which is
probably not safe but you know, but, yeah, I may not be, I might just be goofing off,
but it's mainly for getting your name out there, staying engaged.
And enjoy it?
Yeah, I guess I do, but sometimes it's hard.
Like we were talking before, like we met through LinkedIn, but the last two weeks have been
just so busy at work that, what's the first thing that slipped?
My LinkedIn videos just because I totally forgot about them.
Yeah.
You know, and it hurts, but I gotta get back on it.
And he talks about live and drives.
We don't recommend you try those at home.
He's a trained professional.
I'm not.
It's also in the Department of Public Safety Handbook that that is not a good thing to
do.
I drive a black Toyota.
I think there are signs out right now that says horns up?
Exactly.
Horns up and cameras down.
Ready for kickoff are we?
I'll tell you what, I love doing social media now.
I love doing the videos, I love doing the radio shows, I love going out and coaching
and talking to people and, you know, e video that stuff.
And I still remember the very first time, and it was for American standard that I had
to do a Facebook live, and I had never done one and I was supposed to do that on a installing
a toilet.
And I had the tripod set up, have the iPad set up and we get in and I go back there and
all of a sudden I realized I can't get it in the restroom enough where I installed the
toilet to get a good shot.
So, and I'm supposed to go live in like five minutes.
So I'm ripping the door off to try to scoot it back a little bit and I get it scooted
back and all of a sudden I'm burning up.
I go to the air conditioner, it had jumped up to 74 because it's the middle of the day.
I'm trying to turn it down to like 47 and it won't cool down quick enough.
And then I go to hit live and I don't have enough wifi connection.
So it's searching for a connection.
And so I shut it all down, pull it all back up, do it again.
Of course by now I'm five minutes late, so now I'm really sweating and then I get a connection.
And I start to go live and the guy starts mowing the yard and he mows right outside
my window.
And I look up and my wife is there and I look up at her and she says, do you want me to
go get him to stop?
I'm like, yes, please.
Now.
So yeah, but now it's fun.
I mess up.
I'll say this is the best part about social media and doing the live videos or doing any
kind of video content is; the goal for me is to make it look easy.
And all that stuff is on the backside, like that's a secret.
Like if you saw my how I do a live and drive, you're going to be like "oh my God, are
you stupid?"
Because most people would just put a - are their phone.
If y'all want to know the answer that text me later and I'll…
I have a - I have an audio board that I have mounted to my windshield that I can run a
Rode mic into my phone while I'm driving home at night with a light in my face.
That's a little intricate.
Yeah.
But you know, the one thing I'll say about all the video stuff and all the social media
for me, you know, we were talking about; I said sometimes do enjoy it, sometimes.
If I could wrap it up in one word, it'd be humbling.
Because we do live in a bubble.
Like when you are doing your video there, if you're not paying attention to the comments,
you're just an idiot talking into a phone or an idiot talking to a camera.
But like once you start engaging, that's the word of the hour.
It is humbling to see what kind of effect to see that you actually helped somebody replace
their own toilet without having to spend thousands of dollars or whatever.
It's a good feeling.
So that whole, the ability to change somebody's life for the positive.
It's a cool feeling.
I guess with the all all said and done, you know, with your, with your videos, Roger,
you know why?
Why do you teach people, I guess, if you will, to fix their own plumbing?
Let's look at it this way.
Like I said, I'm not the cheapest plumber in town, so if somebody calls me and wants
me to change out a flapper, I'm probably not the right guy.
Our company's probably not the right company.
But then again, on the other hand when we come out there, we're not just going to change
your flapper.
We're going to evaluate your plumbing system.
We're probably gonna do a minor rebuild.
We're gonna check the flush valve to see if it needs to be replaced too because it might
not just be the flapper, it may be the flush valve.
But when we come out and do the flapper, we're probably gonna do the fill valve because we're
already there.
Go ahead and do the minor rebuild or if it needs it, a major rebuild and change that
to.
And if you don't know what those are, go to The Expert Plumber on Youtube, watch the videos.
You'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
That's awesome.
I literally show people step by step how to do it.
My thing is if - you know, I told you the lady I taught how to do her toilets.
She told me, I promise you if I ever have a plumbing problem, I can't fix.
I'm calling you.
Because people buy from people they know, like, and trust.
I've saved that lady a thousand dollars.
She - and here's what I tell people.
She's just not going to call you, she's going to get her friends to call you.
You Bet.Yeah, because she did she.
She told me, look, I put it on Facebook.
So here's the deal and here's what I teach people; whenever I'm doing a coaching class,
I teach people social media and video is the way to get people to invite you into their
homes, their cars, their offices, their - go on a walk with them through the park or jogging,
and they will invite you in to let you talk to them about what you do and they actually
listen to you.
Kinda neat.
And real quick, just because earlier we were talking about the top two things that we could
recommend and in the commercial break, you know, plumbing is so big.
I don't think people realize how important the pipes on your, on your house really are.
Like it's one of those hidden things.
It's like if you let it go water, like look at the Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon essentially is just a little river that's been there for gajillion of years.
So if you have a pipe that's cracked, if you have any kind of plumbing issues, if you let
it go without an expert to come in and fix it or look at it or give you recommendations,
your house eventually will implode.
And here's the thing, and this is the one, one of the biggest things I recommend for
buyers, whether you're an investor as a buyer, whether you're a homeowner as a buyer, if
you're buying a house, spend the money to a sewer and water test.
We charge $350.
I don't know what other people charge some charge more, some charge less.
To do that $350 test we can tell you whether the water lines or sewer lines are leaking
under your house.
You've said this once before - more than once!
As an investor, investors are inherently cheap.
We are cheap.
We don't want to spend money on anything, but I'm telling you what, $350 to save hundreds
of thousands of dollars a headache, you know, that'll be the most.
That'll be the most expensive house that you didn't buy.
And you'll thank Roger for telling you not to buy that house.
Real quick, you know we don't have much time, let's get the website out.
It's texasgreenplumbing.com.
That's Roger Wakefield, our expert plumber for Ask The Experts.
His phone number is 972-442-4101.
And Ryan Harper is with Propelio and that's p-r-o-p-e-l-i-o.com.
You know, wrapping it up a little bit.
Roger, what - What would you like our listeners to know from our expert plumber?
The most important thing that I would tell them is pull over right now, pull out your
phone, get on Youtube, go to The Expert Plumber, subscribe to that channel.
If you subscribe to that channel, you're going to learn things.
It's going to teach you things that you can do at your house.
It's going to teach you things that even if you're not the person to.
If you're Ryan and you're like, look, I'm not rebuilding the toilet.
I'm not touching anything that may have ever touched poop.
That's fine.
When you call a plumber, you're going to at least know about it.
If you're going to know what that plumbers talking about, you're going to know what he
should be doing.
I had somebody send me a quote the other day, the verbiage of it, because they were repiping
under their house and I read through it and I called the guy back.
I said, number one, I'll tell you, I don't think this is accurate.
I don't think it's right.
I don't think they're really going to do this job.
I said, and if you look, this is in Plano.
They're not pulling a permit.
They're not getting it inspected, they're not having an engineer report, and these are
things that are required.
It's almost like calling a handyman to do your plumbing, guys, that's not good.
You're going to get screwed.
If I can have like 20 seconds - 10 seconds.
If you were, I don't care where you are in the country or the world.
If you are listening to the radio and you hear hey, come to this three day workshop.
Come to this free workshop, free, free, free, free, free.
Learn how to real estate and it's free.
It's not free.
What they're going to do when you get there is there going to try to charge you a thousand
dollars to go to their three day weekend.
When you go to the three day week and they're going to try to charge you $10,000 to go to
a week long thing.
At the week long thing, they're going to upcharge you to go to a $30,000, $50,000 program.
That's the secret.
That's what they want you to do.
Sorry, I don't mean Propelio.com/academy.
That's what I was going to do.
Texasgreenplumbing.com or 972-442-4101.
