  • Christmas Air Conditioning & Plumbing Expands Services to Include Sewer Repair, Sewer Pipe Repair, and Sewer Drain Repair

    Christmas Air Conditioning & Plumbing Expands Services to Include Sewer Repair, Sewer Pipe Repair, and Sewer Drain Repair

    FLOWER MOUND, TX – October 27, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Christmas Air Conditioning & Plumbing announces the expansion of its plumbing division to include sewer repair, sewer pipe repair, and sewer drain repair services across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. This development reflects the company’s response to increased demand for specialized plumbing solutions as regional infrastructure continues to age and seasonal weather conditions place additional strain on residential and commercial sewer systems.

    Sewer systems across North Texas are facing heightened challenges due to shifting soil conditions, heavy rainfall, and growing population density. In older neighborhoods of Dallas and surrounding suburbs, many sewer lines were installed decades ago using clay, cast iron, or other materials that are now vulnerable to cracking, corrosion, and intrusion from tree roots. Homeowners and property managers are increasingly seeking reliable providers who can diagnose and repair these issues before they lead to major disruptions. Christmas Air Conditioning & Plumbing’s decision to expand into sewer repair and sewer pipe repair services comes at a time when proactive maintenance and skilled intervention are critical for preventing costly damage.

    A Christmas Air Conditioning & Plumbing technician works to assist a Dallas area homeowner with a sewer pipe blockage.

    According to the company, the new services will focus on identifying the most common causes of sewer line failures, which often include blockages from grease buildup, pipe misalignment, and natural wear over time. Technicians will use advanced diagnostic tools to inspect lines, locate breaks, and assess whether a full sewer pipe repair or targeted sewer drain repair is the most effective solution. By adding these services, the company aims to provide Dallas-Fort Worth residents with plumbing support that extends beyond routine maintenance.

    “Sewer systems are something most people don’t think about until there is a problem,” said Nathan Lenahan, owner of Christmas Air Conditioning & Plumbing in Flower Mound, Texas. “When those problems occur, they often require immediate attention to prevent health hazards, water damage, and disruption to daily life. Expanding into sewer repair and sewer pipe repair allows us to deliver solutions when they are needed most.”

    The timing of this expansion reflects seasonal considerations. October marks the beginning of cooler weather in Dallas, but it also follows months of intense summer heat that can dry out soil and increase the risk of pipe shifting. Combined with the autumn storm season, these conditions place added stress on underground sewer lines. Many homeowners face unexpected blockages or backups at this time of year, making sewer drain repair an urgent necessity. By preparing resources and trained staff ahead of the holiday season, Christmas Air Conditioning & Plumbing will be able to meet heightened demand during a period when plumbing failures can cause significant disruption.

    Christmas Air Conditioning & Plumbing’s expansion into this field underscores the importance of local expertise. North Texas soil is known for its expansive clay composition, which swells when wet and contracts when dry. These shifts often cause misalignment or cracks in sewer pipes, leading to persistent clogs and leaks. By offering sewer repair services tailored to the conditions of Dallas and surrounding communities, the company is addressing a highly localized need that cannot be fully met by generic approaches.

    The company reports that its sewer pipe repair services will include a range of techniques suited to different types of damage. In some cases, traditional excavation may be required to replace severely compromised lines. In others, trenchless methods such as pipe lining or bursting may provide effective solutions with less disruption to landscaping or paved surfaces. The decision to pursue a particular method will be based on the condition of the existing sewer system, cost considerations, and the need to restore full function as quickly as possible.

    “Sewer line issues can’t be solved with a one-size-fits-all approach,” Lenahan said. “Every property is different, and every problem requires careful assessment. Our goal is to ensure that when someone calls us for sewer repair or sewer drain repair, they receive the most appropriate and effective service for their situation.”

    Public health and safety are also key considerations in the rollout of these services. Sewer line breaks can expose residents to harmful bacteria, contaminate groundwater, and contribute to unsanitary conditions inside the home. In multifamily or commercial settings, backups can interrupt operations and pose risks to large numbers of people. By introducing dedicated sewer repair services, Christmas Air Conditioning & Plumbing is helping to reduce these risks through intervention and long-term solutions.

    The company’s expanded plumbing division will also work closely with property owners to identify early warning signs of sewer problems. Common indicators include slow drains, recurring clogs, foul odors, and unexplained wet spots in yards. By offering sewer pipe repair and sewer drain repair services as soon as issues arise, the company aims to reduce the likelihood of full system failure and costly remediation.

    Dallas homeowners in particular are being encouraged to schedule inspections before the holiday season. Sewer line issues often become more pronounced during times of increased household activity, such as when families host gatherings and use more water for cooking, cleaning, and guest accommodations. A minor blockage in October can quickly escalate into a full sewer backup in November or December, creating significant stress during an already busy time of year. Proactive sewer repair services can help prevent these problems before they disrupt holiday plans.

    The announcement also reflects broader trends in the plumbing industry, where providers are increasingly expected to offer comprehensive solutions that address both common and complex issues. While many companies focus on routine plumbing maintenance, the addition of sewer repair and sewer pipe repair expands the scope of services available to Dallas-Fort Worth residents under one roof. This consolidation of services can provide convenience and reliability, particularly in emergency situations where time is critical.

    Lenahan noted that sewer systems are among the most vital yet overlooked components of modern living. “When a sewer line fails, it isn’t just a plumbing problem. It affects health, safety, and quality of life. That’s why it’s so important to have skilled professionals who can respond quickly and get the system back to normal. Expanding into sewer repair is a natural step for us because it allows us to meet that need directly.”

    The introduction of these services also positions Christmas Air Conditioning & Plumbing to support Dallas-Fort Worth’s long-term infrastructure resilience. As climate patterns shift and extreme weather events become more frequent, sewer systems will face growing strain. By providing sewer pipe repair and sewer drain repair services that account for local conditions, the company is contributing to community preparedness in the face of future challenges.

    Looking ahead, the company expects to continue building its capabilities in plumbing while maintaining its established reputation in heating, cooling, and electrical services. The addition of sewer repair is seen as part of a broader effort to provide integrated solutions that align with the needs of homeowners in North Texas.

  • Publication of Landmark Study in JACC: Advances

    Publication of Landmark Study in JACC: Advances

    CARDIO inCode-Score Genetic Risk Influences Cholesterol Risk and Prediction of Coronary Heart Disease

    IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / October 28, 2025 / GENinCode, the predictive genetics company focused on prevention of cardiovascular disease (“CVD”), announces the publication of a major clinical study in JACC: Advances evaluating its CARDIO inCode-Score Polygenic Risk Score (“PRS”) for coronary heart disease (“CHD”). The study (https://share.google/nQwFO73QgGTiRqK45), was conducted at Kaiser Permanente’s Departments of Research and Cardiology in Pleasanton and Oakland. CA.

    Study Overview

    The study followed over 47,000 individuals of diverse ancestry for 14 years, analysing the relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and polygenic risk for CHD. Participants were assessed for incidence of CHD events including myocardial infarction.

    CARDIO inCode-Score was used to quantify each participant’s inherited CHD risk and whether the effect of LDL-cholesterol on CHD risk was modified by an individual’s underlying genetic risk.

    Key Findings

    The results demonstrated polygenic risk significantly influences the relationship between LDL-cholesterol and CHD, with the combination of elevated LDL-C and high PRS conferring substantially greater risk supporting its use in clinical decision-making and preventive care.

    • Individuals with high polygenic risk experienced a 75% increase in CHD risk at LDL-C levels as low as 100 mg/dL (Hazard Ratio: 1.75).

    • At LDL-C levels of 130-160 mg/dL, risk increased more than twofold (HR: 2.1).

    • The combination of a high PRS and LDL-C of 190 mg/dL or higher was associated with a greater than 3.5-fold increase in CHD risk, comparable to the risk observed in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).

    Clinical and Preventive Implications

    The study underscores the critical role that integrating genetic data with clinical assessments can play in revolutionising cardiovascular risk stratification and prevention and guide earlier intervention in at-risk populations. Individuals with high genetic risk may benefit from more proactive lipid management and lifestyle or therapeutic intervention, even at LDL-C levels traditionally considered low or moderate.

    By integrating PRS assessment into existing clinical pathways, healthcare providers can more accurately identify individuals at heightened lifetime risk of CHD and personalise prevention strategies. This can reduce the incidence of severe cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and stroke and mitigate the economic costs associated with long-term heart disease care. The findings represent a significant step toward improving public health outcomes, particularly in addressing the global burden of cardiovascular disease.

    Dr. Richard Kovacs, Q.E. and Sally Russell Professor of Cardiology at IUSOM and Chief Medical Officer of the ACC and Past President of the ACC said:These results provide further compelling clinical evidence for the inclusion of polygenic risk scores (PRS) in conjunction with clinical risk for improved risk assessment of CHD. The polygenic risk score is especially important in relation to patients clinically classified at borderline/intermediate risk and younger patients with a family history of CHD. The recent scientific statements and acknowledgment of the value of PRS by the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association is also welcome.

    Dr. Paul Strode, AP/IB Biology teacher at Fairview High School, added: “BioBrain is extremely helpful for my students to prepare for what we will be doing or discussing in class. I assign certain topics and levels and can tailor the quizzes to fit what I will be teaching. Students come to class prepared.”

    A Smarter Way to Learn and Teach Science
    BioBrain combines curriculum-aligned content, personalized learning, and real-time feedback to help students and teachers succeed in and beyond the classroom. Designed for Senior Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, the platform supports the Australian and U.S. curriculums, as well as the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

    With thousands of practice questions and quizzes, BioBrain helps students prepare for exams while allowing teachers to track progress efficiently. Each question provides instant feedback, including worked solutions for complex problems, allowing students to immediately identify whether they’re on the right track. The visual green “correct” indicator has quickly become a favorite among students who love seeing their progress in real time.

    BioBrain’s differentiated and adaptive learning platform allows teachers to target individual student needs while monitoring overall class performance. Both students and teachers can track mastery of topics and identify areas needing review, turning study time into meaningful learning.

    Why Teachers Love BioBrain
    Developed by teachers for teachers, BioBrain saves time and enhances classroom insight. It offers efficient tracking and grading tools, curriculum-aligned lesson content, and access to thousands of exam-style questions.

    Teachers also value BioBrain’s ability to reinforce real-world scientific concepts and explain key practical investigation skills, making it a complete teaching companion.

    Why Students Love BioBrain
    Students enjoy how BioBrain makes science approachable and flexible. Its bite-sized content are easy to digest, organized by topic, and accessible on any device. Whether studying on the bus, at home, or between classes, students can review material anytime, anywhere.

    Illustrated glossaries, short-answer questions, and interactive quizzes make complex ideas clear and engaging, turning exam prep into a more dynamic, motivating experience.

    How It Works
    Schools can sign up for BioBrain in minutes, giving every teacher and student immediate access to curriculum-aligned, interactive content across science subjects. Once a class is set up, students begin practicing concepts, receiving instant feedback on every quiz question to ensure they’re learning the material correctly. Teachers gain insight into class performance and can assign targeted work to address learning gaps.

    Students around the world echo the benefits:

    • “BioBrain made it super easy to study for AP Biology. I didn’t need to hire a tutor,” said Marcos, a student in California.

    • “I’m not so good in biology and science, so BioBrain was very helpful!” added another student in Colorado.

    • An IB Biology student in South Africa said, “BioBrain helps make studying more fun and the information is comprehensive yet easily understandable. I’m using BioBrain to prepare for my IB finals.”

    Built by Teachers for Digital-native Students
    BioBrain was created to meet the needs of modern learners, students who expect interactive, accessible, and engaging educational experiences.

    “I used to write textbooks for a number of the big companies, Thomson and Pearson, and realized that today’s digital-native students were not engaging with them as they had other alternatives that weren’t available when I was at school,” said Cotton. “The idea for BioBrain was born to provide rigorous academic content in a format that appeals to today’s digital-native students. I also wanted to ensure that teachers could provide direct input into BioBrain, without layers of management separating their classroom experience from the development process.”

    High-performance, low-pressure gas filters will ensure safe delivery of oxygen and nitrogen for crew

    FARMINGTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / October 28, 2025 / Mott Corporation announces critical role in the Artemis campaign to return to the Moon and prepare for Mars as providers of life support system technology for the Gateway lunar space station’s Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO). HALO, led by prime NASA contractor, Northrop Grumman, is Gateway’s first pressurized module where international teams of astronauts will live and work as they prepare for long-term missions on and around the Moon.

    As part of the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) aboard HALO, Mott’s high-performance, low-pressure gas filters will ensure the safe delivery of contaminant-free oxygen and nitrogen to crewed environments. Engineered for extended missions in extreme conditions, these aerospace-grade components safeguard astronaut health by providing ultrapure breathing gases critical to cabin pressurization and life support.

    Northrop Grumman and Mott Corporation drew upon decades of human spaceflight heritage and extensive human factors testing to develop the unique deep space advanced filtration technology that will support astronauts while orbiting the Moon 240,000 miles away from Earth. The aerospace manufacturers are building HALO by leveraging experience from the Cygnus cargo resupply missions to the International Space Station.

    “At Mott, we take great pride in our technology contributing to the safety and success of NASA’s missions,” said Sean Kane, GM, Aerospace & Defense and VP, Business Development at Mott Corporation. “The HALO module represents a milestone in human spaceflight, and our filtration solutions will ensure astronauts receive essential resources to live and work in orbit around the Moon. It has been an honor to collaborate with the Northrop Grumman, NASA, and international Gateway teams to power the next era of exploration.”

    Gateway’s initial configuration will include HALO, the Power and Propulsion Element and Lunar Link, a high-speed telecommunications system provided by the European Space Agency. Together, these systems will support up to four astronauts for estimated 30-day missions in a near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) around the Moon. Gateway will serve as a platform for science and international collaboration and lay the groundwork for future human exploration of Mars and destinations beyond.
