Drew's Car Wash to Upgrade Its 24-Hour Touchless Wash Bays in College Station This Fall

COLLEGE STATION, TX - October 28, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
The Bryan-College Station company opened in 2004 with two touchless bays behind a gas station. Twenty-two years later, touchless is the part of the operation it is rebuilding.
Drew's Car Wash will replace the equipment in its 24-hour touchless wash bays in College Station this fall, rebuilding the oldest service line at a company that now operates seven express tunnel locations across Brazos County.

The touchless bays run at two of the company's College Station sites. The bays beside the University Drive location operate under their own address at 720 Earl Rudder Fwy, on the Earl Rudder Freeway frontage, with separate signage and a separate entrance from the express tunnel next door. A second set operates at the Tower Point site at 4442 State Highway 6 S, on the Highway 6 frontage road. Both are open 24 hours a day, every day, with a daily equipment reset between 3:30 and 5:00 a.m. The company selected that window after reviewing overnight traffic counts across the two sites.
Touchless washing uses high-pressure water and cleaning solution rather than brushes or cloth, with nothing making physical contact with the vehicle. The method is a common choice for vinyl wraps, ceramic coatings, matte paint and darker finishes, where contact equipment can leave the fine scratching known in the trade as swirl marks.
It is also the only option at Drew's for vehicles that will not fit a conveyor tunnel. The touchless bays clear 90 inches and carry no tire width limit. The company's express tunnels clear 84 inches and limit tire width to 12.5 inches, which rules out dually trucks, many lifted trucks, and vehicles carrying roof racks or roof-mounted light bars. Drivers of those vehicles have limited options in Bryan and College Station, where most express operators run tunnels only.
Vacuum and amenity stations at both sites follow express tunnel hours, Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and shut off at 7:30 p.m. The touchless bays stay open overnight for washing only. The company says it would rather customers know that before driving over at midnight than discover it in the lot.
The equipment being replaced is where the business started. Drew Congleton opened two touchless wash bays at his gas station on the corner of University Drive and Highway 6 in 2004, adding a third in 2007. The company built its first express tunnel at the same corner in January 2009, and that format drove the expansion that followed: Texas Avenue in College Station in October 2012, Tower Point in August 2018, Texas Avenue in Bryan in August 2021, Wellborn Road in December 2022, Highway 21 in January 2024, and Boonville Road in Bryan in July 2025. The touchless bays stayed in service throughout, serving the vehicles and the hours the tunnels could not.
"What hasn't changed since 2004 is our commitment to continually improving the wash experience for our customers. We've recently added nanobubble technology, continue to work closely with our chemical distributor to find ways to improve wash quality, and are upgrading our existing touchless wash bays with state-of-the-art technology this fall. As equipment and technology continue to evolve, our focus remains the same: giving our customers a better wash every time they visit," said Drew Congleton, owner of Drew's Car Wash.
The company's Unlimited Wash Club memberships cover the touchless bays at no additional charge, the same as the express tunnels, and allow up to two washes a day at any location. Drew's does not operate a separate membership tier for touchless washing, and a customer who signs up at a tunnel can use the bays overnight at no extra cost. Single washes are available at both formats without a membership.
Free vacuums, microfiber towels, all-purpose cleaner, mat beaters, compressed air and air freshener are available to every customer after a wash at all seven locations rather than sold as add-ons. The company operates water reclamation systems and uses biodegradable products across its sites, and employs high school and college students from Bryan and College Station, training every team member on customer service before they work a lot.
By 2017, roughly a decade into the expansion, the company reported washing more than 250,000 vehicles a year across the locations it operated at the time.
Drew's Car Wash was named Best Car Wash in The Eagle's 2026 Readers' Choice Awards in July, its sixth consecutive win in the reader-voted contest, and has been voted Best of the Brazos Valley every year since 2016 in a separate reader-voted contest run by Brazos Life.
Information on the touchless bays, including bay clearances, hours and how the wash cycle works, is available at drewscarwash.com.


Drew's Car Wash is an independently owned express car wash company serving Bryan and College Station, Texas. Founded in 2004 by owner Drew Congleton, the company operates seven express tunnel locations across Brazos County, along with 24-hour touchless wash bays at two College Station sites. All locations offer unlimited wash memberships and complimentary vacuum and detailing amenities. Drew's Car Wash has been named Best Car Wash in The Eagle's Readers' Choice Awards for six consecutive years and voted Best of the Brazos Valley every year since 2016.

Feltner Sewer & Drain Explains Common Types of Valves To Know Before Winter

MILWAUKEE, WI - October 28, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Feltner Sewer & Drain, a family-owned company founded in 1996, is outlining the common types of valves found in Wisconsin homes as colder weather approaches. Knowing which valve controls each water line helps households limit damage from a cracked water pipe, a problem distinct from underground issues such as a sewer line belly.
Residential plumbing relies on several types of valves, and each is built for a different job. Ball valves close with a quarter-turn lever, while gate valves use a round handle that must be turned several times. Globe valves are designed to throttle flow rather than only start or stop it.

The main shutoff valve controls the water supply to an entire house. Older homes often have a gate valve at this location, while newer construction usually has a ball valve. The company notes that any valve left unused for long periods may seize, and that corrosion can interfere with operation.
Fixture stop valves sit beneath sinks and behind toilets so one fixture can be isolated without interrupting service elsewhere. Check valves allow water to move in only one direction, and some backflow prevention assemblies use them to protect drinking water from contamination. Butterfly valves are more common on large pipes and are seen less often in homes.
Cold weather raises the stakes because water expands as it freezes and can crack pipes. According to University of Illinois Extension, a crack as small as one-eighth of an inch can release up to 250 gallons of water a day. The organization also advises households to find the main shutoff valve and make sure everyone knows where it is.
If a pipe bursts, the Red Cross advises shutting off the main water valve immediately and turning off power to affected areas only if the breaker panel can be reached without entering standing water, or calling an electrician if safe access is unavailable.
The organization also recommends disconnecting and draining outdoor hoses before closing the indoor valves supplying outdoor faucets and leaving the outdoor faucets open to drain. Conventional hose bibs shut off water near the outdoor handle, while frost-free versions place the shutoff inside the heated building so the outer barrel can drain.
Feltner Sewer & Drain recommends that households label fixture valves and keep the area around the main shutoff clear of boxes or furniture. The company also suggests operating valves periodically, following manufacturer guidance, to reduce the risk of seizure. A plumber can demonstrate safe handling before anyone operates an unfamiliar control.
Valve condition matters more than age alone, according to the company. Some units last 20 to 25 years, while others fail earlier when hard water deposits keep washers or seats from sealing. Leaking at the stem, visible corrosion, a stiff handle, and flow that continues after closing are signs that warrant professional evaluation.
The company says replacement starts with matching the valve to the plumbing it serves. The new unit must be compatible with the existing pipe material and match the connection size; its pressure rating should suit the intended use. Handle clearance also matters because nearby framing or pipes can block access during an emergency.
According to the company, an automatic shutoff controls a home’s main supply, while individual valves isolate a single fixture during repairs. In multi-unit buildings, work on a shared supply usually requires building management to coordinate a temporary interruption for affected units. Understanding these types of valves helps residents know which control to operate and when to call a plumber.
Feltner Sewer & Drain has been family-owned and operated since 1996, when the Blanton family opened the company. The company provides plumbing, drain cleaning, sewer, septic, and gas line services to residential and commercial customers across southeastern Wisconsin. Its headquarters are in Trevor, Wisconsin, and its team handles valve inspections and replacements as part of that work.

Hail King Roofing Completes 58-Unit HOA Exterior Project in North Texas, Highlights Commercial Roofing Capabilities

COLLEYVILLE, TX - October 28, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 

Hail King Roofing, a Colleyville-based roofing contractor serving the Dallas–Fort Worth area, has completed a large-scale exterior project involving a 58-unit homeowners association (HOA) property in North Texas. The project adds to the company's portfolio of work involving commercial and shared-property environments, where construction planning must account for building operations, occupant access, scheduling, and long-term maintenance requirements.
With 31 years in business, Hail King Roofing provides residential and commercial roofing services throughout North Texas, including roof inspections, repairs, replacements, and specialized commercial roofing systems. The company's recent HOA project reflects the operational considerations associated with managing improvements across multiple residential units under shared property ownership.
Barbara Moreno, whose property management company recommended Hail King Roofing for the 58-unit project, described the company's performance in a published customer review.
“They completed the entire project in a timely manner while maintaining strong attention to detail and quality,” Moreno stated.
Commercial and multifamily roofing projects often involve considerations beyond those associated with individual residential properties. Building owners and property managers must evaluate existing roof conditions, drainage, mechanical equipment, access requirements, and construction schedules before determining an appropriate course of action. At occupied properties, additional coordination may be necessary to accommodate deliveries, parking, tenant access, and daily operations.
“On a commercial job, you have to understand how the building works before you plan the roof. People may be running a business there, receiving deliveries, or living on the property. That all matters,” said Landon Stokes, owner of Hail King Roofing.
The company works with several commercial roofing systems, including thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), modified bitumen, built-up roofing, commercial metal, protective coatings, and liquid-applied membranes. Evaluations consider the condition of the existing roofing system, drainage performance, rooftop equipment, and the property's intended use when assessing whether repairs, restoration, or replacement may be appropriate.
For PVC roofing installations, Hail King's documented practices include evaluating the roof deck and insulation, considering potential chemical exposure, conducting test welds, and inspecting completed seams. These procedures are intended to address installation requirements specific to thermoplastic membrane systems. The company also provides TPO roofing services for Dallas-area commercial properties, with installation planning accounting for roof configuration, flashing, drainage, and rooftop penetrations.
Roof inspections and leak diagnosis are another component of the company's commercial services. Water intrusion can originate from multiple locations, including seams, flashing, drainage areas, and penetrations surrounding mechanical equipment. Hail King's evaluation process includes examining potential leak sources and using thermal imaging when appropriate to assist in identifying areas requiring further investigation.
In a separate published customer account concerning a forensic roof evaluation at Lakes Bent Tree, the company's technical assessment and documentation were cited as notable aspects of the service.
“The resulting analysis reflected a high level of technical rigor, clear documentation, and well-supported code interpretation,” the customer stated.
Beyond installation and repair, Hail King Roofing incorporates maintenance considerations into its commercial project planning. These include documenting completed work and accounting for future technician access to rooftop equipment. For commercial building owners, HOA boards, and multifamily property managers, these factors can influence maintenance scheduling and decisions concerning future roof repairs or replacement.
The recently completed 58-unit HOA exterior project represents an example of Hail King's work on properties requiring coordination across multiple occupants and shared facilities. The company continues to provide commercial roofing evaluations and services for property owners and managers throughout Dallas–Fort Worth and surrounding North Texas communities.

Skin Artistry Clinic Introduces PDGF Treatment in Alamo for Targeted Skin Repair

Alamo, California - October 28, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Skin Artistry Clinic has expanded its regenerative aesthetics offerings with Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) therapy, a treatment that delivers a concentrated dose of one of the body's primary repair signals directly to the skin. The addition gives patients in the East Bay a new option for accelerating collagen production, wound healing, and tissue renewal under the care of a board-certified physician.
DGF therapy at Skin Artistry Clinic is designed to address post-procedure recovery, fine lines, uneven texture, and skin laxity. The treatment can be delivered as a topical serum, driven in through microneedling, or administered by injection, depending on each patient's individual treatment plan. Recovery benefits are often visible within days, while improvements in skin quality continue to build over a period of three to six weeks.
PDGF is a naturally occurring protein released by platelets when tissue is injured, functioning as one of the first signals the body sends to begin repair. It works by recruiting fibroblasts and stem cells to the treatment site and prompting them to produce new collagen, elastin, and blood vessels. While the growth factor is present in whole-blood treatments such as PRP and PRF, the PDGF approach relies on formulations that isolate and concentrate it for rapid, targeted signaling.
Each treatment at Skin Artistry Clinic in Alamo is performed by Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry, MD, a board-certified physician with more than a decade of experience in primary care, preventive medicine, and aesthetic medicine. The physician-led model means patients work directly with Dr. Chaudhry to determine whether PDGF is used on its own or paired with another procedure such as microneedling or laser treatment.
"PDGF gives patients a precise way to support the skin's own repair process," said Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry, MD, founder of Skin Artistry Clinic. "Because the growth factor can be directed exactly where renewal is needed, it works as a complement to other procedures or as a standalone series for patients seeking a lower-commitment regenerative option."
The therapy is suited to patients who want to accelerate results from another procedure, shorten healing time, or add a targeted collagen boost to an existing skincare routine. The therapy is not recommended for individuals with active skin infections at the treatment site, active cancer or a history of certain malignancies, bleeding or clotting disorders, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. A consultation confirms whether a patient's skin condition and goals are an appropriate match.
Injectable PDGF formulations are not currently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration as a standalone cosmetic injectable, and the clinic reviews the specific formulation and regulatory status of any product used during each consultation. Patients considering the treatment can read our customer reviews and consult with the clinic to learn how the growth factor approach can be tailored to individual skin goals.


Skin Artistry Clinic is a medical spa in Alamo, California, led by Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry, MD. The clinic specializes in wellness and anti-aging treatments, including Botox and Dysport, dermal fillers, IPL skin rejuvenation, laser hair removal, and longevity medicine. Serving Alamo, Danville, Walnut Creek, San Ramon, and the greater San Francisco Bay Area, the clinic provides skin care and anti-aging procedures guided by longevity medicine principles.

ITS Environmental Services Highlights Round-the-Clock Blood Cleanup Service Across New York and Tri-State Area

YAPHANK, NY - October 28, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
ITS Environmental Services is reinforcing the availability of its 24-hour biohazard remediation response for residents and businesses throughout New York, Long Island, and the greater Tri-State region, where traumatic incidents often require immediate and professional attention.
Blood and bodily fluids present serious health risks due to potential bloodborne pathogens such as Hepatitis B and HIV. For this reason, the company continues to maintain trained technicians who are available at any hour to respond to severe injuries, violent incidents, unattended deaths, medical emergencies, and natural disasters. The ITS Environmental Services Blood Cleanup Service follows established safety protocols designed to protect property occupants and restore affected spaces to a safe, sanitary condition.
The company emphasizes that proper remediation extends well beyond ordinary cleaning. Technicians wear personal protective equipment and adhere to a structured process that includes securing the affected area, assessing contamination, containing spills, cleaning, disinfecting, and disposing of contaminated materials in accordance with regulatory requirements. A final inspection confirms that all traces of contamination have been addressed, and detailed documentation is maintained for compliance and reporting purposes.
"Families and property owners rarely expect to face a situation that requires biohazard remediation, and when it happens, timing and expertise matter a great deal," said Doug Baruchin, President of ITS Environmental Services. "Maintaining a response team that is ready at any hour across the New York and Tri-State area allows affected individuals to focus on what matters while trained professionals handle the hazardous work."
The company notes that many homeowner and business insurance policies cover the costs associated with this type of cleanup, which can reduce the financial burden on property owners during an already difficult time. ITS Environmental Services assists clients with insurance claims and documentation and provides a no-obligation inspection and estimate (within 30 miles of location) before any work begins.
"The physical hazards are only part of the situation," Baruchin added. "There is also an emotional toll that accompanies these events. Our approach always combines technical thoroughness with discretion and compassion for everyone involved."
Serving the region for more than fifteen years, ITS Environmental Services has structured its operations to address a wide spectrum of environmental restoration and remediation services. The ITS Environmental Services Blood Cleanup Service forms one component of a broader biohazard program that also encompasses crime scene cleanup, unattended death remediation, and extreme cleaning situations. The company holds credentials including IICRC and CEICR certifications and remains licensed and insured.


ITS Environmental Services provides biohazard cleanup, extreme cleanup services throughout New York and the Tri-State area.

DataField Staffing Expands Customer Service Staffing Services

WORTHINGTON, OH - October 28, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
DataField Staffing has expanded its staffing services to include customer service staffing, adding a new workforce solution for businesses across Central Ohio that need additional support for customer inquiries, call volume, and daily service operations. The new service line addresses hiring needs that can arise when organizations experience changing customer demand, employee transitions, or temporary increases in service activity. Through this expansion, the company is extending its staffing capabilities to employers seeking personnel to support customer-facing functions without relying exclusively on permanent hiring.
DataField Staffing’s new customer service staffing agency offering is intended to help employers identify staffing support based on operational requirements and workforce timelines. The service focuses on connecting businesses with personnel who can assist with customer communications and related service responsibilities as organizations respond to changing workloads.

Customer service departments often experience fluctuations in demand that affect staffing requirements. An increase in incoming calls, customer questions, order inquiries, or requests for assistance can create additional pressure on existing employees. Businesses may need to maintain response times and manage incoming requests while continuing routine operations. When staffing levels do not match the volume of work, organizations can face longer queues, delayed responses, and additional demands on permanent employees.
Courtland Bishop, President and CEO of DataField Staffing in Worthington, Ohio, described the operational considerations behind the expansion. “Customer service staffing needs can change as call volume, customer inquiries, and business activity fluctuate,” Bishop said. “Additional staffing support can help employers address those changes while maintaining the personnel needed for their day-to-day operations.”
The introduction of customer service staffing gives Central Ohio employers another option when evaluating workforce needs that extend beyond their existing employee capacity. Rather than treating every increase in customer demand as a permanent staffing requirement, businesses can assess whether temporary personnel may be appropriate for a particular period, project, or operational transition. The approach allows hiring decisions to be considered in relation to the duration and nature of the work that needs to be completed.
Temporary customer service staffing can be relevant in several business situations. Organizations may experience higher inquiry volumes during peak operating periods, seasonal business activity, promotional campaigns, or year-end processing. Other employers may require short-term coverage when employees take leave, vacancies arise, or teams undergo restructuring. In these circumstances, additional personnel may help maintain continuity while management determines the appropriate longer-term staffing arrangement.
The need for timely hiring can make customer service recruitment particularly challenging. Customer-facing positions require more than general availability; employees may need to communicate clearly, follow established procedures, document interactions, and navigate company systems. Depending on the role, responsibilities may also include answering incoming calls, responding to email inquiries, directing requests to the appropriate department, updating customer records, or explaining routine processes.
These requirements mean that staffing decisions must account for the work environment and the responsibilities associated with each position. Employers may need to consider communication skills, reliability, attention to detail, and the ability to follow instructions when identifying suitable candidates. Familiarity with customer relationship management platforms, contact center software, or other business applications may also be relevant for certain assignments.
Bishop noted that matching staffing arrangements to the actual work requirements remains an important consideration for employers evaluating additional personnel. “The responsibilities of a customer service position can vary significantly from one organization to another,” Bishop said. “Clear expectations around the assignment, schedule, and required skills help businesses determine what type of staffing support is appropriate.”
For employers seeking customer service staffing agencies in Columbus, Ohio, and surrounding communities, the expansion provides an additional avenue for addressing workforce requirements tied to customer communications. Businesses in the region operate across a range of industries, each with different service processes, customer expectations, and staffing patterns. A company managing a high volume of telephone inquiries may have different personnel requirements from an organization that primarily handles account questions, order updates, appointment requests, or administrative service tasks.
Call center staffing in Ohio can involve a range of responsibilities depending on the employer's operating model. Some positions focus on receiving inbound calls and directing customers to the correct department. Others may involve recording information, answering common questions, processing requests, or escalating issues that require specialized assistance. The volume and complexity of these interactions can influence how many employees are needed and which skills are necessary for a particular assignment.
For businesses experiencing variable call volume, workforce planning can be difficult when customer demand changes faster than permanent recruitment can accommodate. Recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and training employees all require time and coordination. A temporary staffing arrangement may provide a practical option when additional coverage is needed for a defined period, although the suitability of that approach depends on the position, the training involved, and the employer's operational requirements.
The service expansion also reflects the distinction between maintaining a permanent customer service team and supplementing that team when workload conditions change. Permanent employees often provide continuity, institutional knowledge, and familiarity with established customer relationships. Temporary personnel may instead be considered for specific periods of increased activity, coverage gaps, or defined assignments. Employers can evaluate these options according to business priorities, available resources, and the expected duration of the staffing need.
Bishop said workforce planning can benefit from a clear understanding of both immediate service demands and the responsibilities that must continue over time. “A staffing decision should reflect the work that needs to be covered and the period for which that coverage is required,” Bishop said. “Understanding those details helps employers evaluate whether temporary support or another staffing arrangement is the right fit for their operations.”
The addition of customer service staffing extends DataField Staffing's service offering to businesses evaluating personnel needs within customer-facing departments. The expansion is particularly relevant to employers that must balance fluctuating inquiry volumes with the need to maintain consistent service processes. By identifying the positions requiring additional coverage and the qualifications associated with those roles, organizations can better define their staffing requirements before beginning recruitment.
Employers considering additional customer service personnel may benefit from reviewing expected call volumes, service hours, anticipated workload changes, and the specific duties associated with each assignment. Other considerations include training requirements, access to internal systems, performance expectations, and the procedures temporary personnel must follow when handling customer information. Establishing these details can help organizations assess the resources needed to integrate additional staff into existing workflows.
The effectiveness of any staffing arrangement depends on the relationship between the personnel supplied, the work assigned, and the support provided by the employer. Customer service teams typically operate within established policies governing communication, recordkeeping, privacy, and issue escalation. Temporary personnel may need appropriate orientation and access to approved tools before taking on customer-facing responsibilities. Planning for these requirements is an important part of maintaining operational continuity during staffing changes.
As demand for customer assistance varies, businesses may continue to reassess how their teams are structured and how staffing resources are allocated. Short-term workforce needs can differ from long-term recruitment objectives, making it important to distinguish between temporary workload increases and sustained changes in staffing requirements. The availability of an additional staffing service gives employers another option to consider when evaluating those circumstances.
