Electrical Services for Spas and Pools

Looking to add value to your home? Installing a spa or pool is a wonderful idea to add to your list. Plus, your backyard barbecues will be much more fun. The process of installing a pool or spa isn't something you can handle on your own, though. You will need a team of experienced electricians in Ladson, SC to ensure your system is set up correctly. That way, you can enjoy your pool or spa for years to come, and it'll be in great working order when it's time to sell.

Why Do I Need an Electrical Contractor for Pool or Spa Installation?

Installing a pool or spa is a very involved job that includes more than digging out space for a pool or spa. These units are very complex and have a whole host of electrical needs, from heating units and filters to color-changing lights that wow your guests. Having a professional install these parts is vital. Otherwise, you'll be swimming in a dirty, near-freezing pool or spa.

Hiring Sievert Electrical Contractors guarantees your pool or spa will be in proper working order for years and years.

EV Charging Station Installation

Finding a reliable EV charging station when you're out and about is still a gamble in this day and age. While EV charger availability is improving, most EV owners prefer to have a charging station installed at home. But doing so is easier said than done and often requires the help of a professional electrician.

Why Do I Need an Electrical Contractor for EV Charging Station Installation?

If you're like most homeowners, you don't have the proper permit to install your own EV charging station. For that reason alone, you need to rely on a pro who has the right tools and electrical know-how to handle the job. Plus, EV chargers need much more voltage than standard electrical systems you may find in your home. That makes installing these devices much more dangerous than average appliances. Hiring Sievert Electrical Contractors to install your charging station ensures it's completed quickly, correctly, and safely.

Industrial Electric Repair

Industrial electricians must deal with more complex electrical systems. These advanced systems often need different equipment and tools when repairs to industrial-grade elements are required. Unlike residential repairs, in industrial settings, electrical systems are usually custom-made for the facility and include unique parts with higher voltages than in the typical home.

Ladson, SC – Beyond an obsession for battling big fish, there’s one thing upon which anglers almost universally agree: Clean, healthy waterways and flourishing fish habitat lie at the heart of everything we hold sacred.

Count the people at Z-Man Fishing among America’s 60 million anglers—everyday folks you might meet at the tackle shop or along the shoreline. At some point each day, we’ll stop casting, survey our surroundings and simply marvel at the beauty both above the surface and below; we’ll pause to ponder what this awe-inspiring place might look like, 5, 10 or 100 years from now. It’s at times like these that anglers grasp their power to write the future—the same reason Z-Man has for years been working creatively, quietly, to help sustain healthy, vibrant fisheries behind the scenes.

It began early in the company’s 30-year history. From the beginning, Z-Man understood the value of supporting causes that ensure long-term sustainability of fisheries and aquatic environments. These motivations are evident in Z-Man’s product line itself, as its 10X Tough ElaZtech® soft plastic material exhibits advantages that lessen its environmental impact relative to other soft baits.

Not only does ElaZtech’s boosted durability reduce the number of soft plastic baits used by anglers, ingested by fish or discarded in the water, Z-Man’s specialized material is also one-hundred percent non-toxic and free from harmful chemicals like phthalates. Additionally, ElaZtech floats and is FDA Food Grade compliant—as opposed to traditional plastisol baits, which sink to the bottom and can be ingested by fish and other wildlife, sometimes causing digestive problems among other issues. Conversely, any inadvertently discarded ElaZtech baits will float and can be easily scooped from the water’s surface and responsibly disposed.

Part of Z-Man’s mission has always been to further causes that preserve healthy ecosystems and enhance fishing opportunities. Today, Z-Man’s support of such initiatives ranges from backing action-oriented groups like Captains for Clean Water and Release Over 20 to empowering future fisheries management via Z-Man endowed graduate research assistantships at the University of Florida’s Nature Coast Biological Station in Cedar Key.

When seeking out opportunities to conserve cherished fisheries by minimizing its impact on nature, Z-Man management identified essential actions toward meaningfully reducing its carbon footprint. “Two aspects of our manufacturing process that we’ve always felt could be improved upon include minimizing the power we pull from the electrical grid and finding a way to recycle manufacturing waste from our ElaZtech production line,” remarks Z-Man President Daniel Nussbaum, a longtime conservationist and forward-thinking fishing industry executive. “Most any company can purchase enough carbon offsets to claim that it’s carbon neutral, but our goal was to find ways to actually reduce the impact of our production-related activities.” As a result of its initiatives, Z-Man recently achieved exciting benchmarks in an ongoing quest to give back to aquatic environments.

Last year, phase one of the Z-Man sustainability program included installing a broad solar-panel array with the goal of self-generating a perpetual power supply. By nature, solar is a low emission power source; solar panels themselves produce zero pollution. Conventional energy sources, by contrast, typically involve the burning of fossil fuels, which emit up to 37 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the global atmosphere, annually.

Nussbaum summarizes the early returns: “Following just one year of solar power generation, we’re nearly one-hundred percent self-sufficient,” he says. “In fact, rather than paying big energy bills during the summer, we’re actually selling electricity back to the power company. It’s a pretty exciting development that’s exceeded our initial hopes and started us well down a path toward minimizing our carbon footprint.”

Specific to the on-site manufacture of its environmentally benign ElaZtech softbaits, Z-Man recently achieved a second sustainability milestone. For the last few years, Z-Man staff has been searching for ways to prevent its manufacturing waste from entering landfills. Despite challenges in recycling this unique material—largely due to the pigments, glitter and salt used in fishing lure production—Z-Man ultimately devised a successful plan.

“Even though ElaZtech is completely non-toxic, we still felt it was critical to keep our leftover manufacturing material out of landfills,” asserts Nussbaum, who helped formulate a two-part solution. “First, we worked hard to devise a way to efficiently reprocess around sixty percent of our scrap ElaZtech material to manufacture new baits. We also re-use the excess material to flush out and clean our machines.

“Second, and maybe the most exciting aspect of our plan is working with a third-party re-processor of manufacturing waste that is able to repurpose the material,” Nussbaum continues. “After years of searching, we finally found a company that is able to use our ElaZtech waste as an ingredient in new shoe soles. Besides the environmental benefits of keeping these materials out of landfills, recycling has yielded a major cost savings over traditional waste disposal methods.”

At least part of the allure of fishing is that all participants can create positive, edifying outcomes while on the water—from catch and release to collecting trash along the shoreline and properly disposing of used fishing line and lures. Easy solutions are already at our fingertips, individually or organization wide. Every effort helps, always with the promise of sustaining natural places where water flows and wild fish reside.

Ladson, SC – Admittedly, bite force is a concept best understood by anglers whose fingers accidently slip into the mandibles of powerful gamefish. With an audible snap—not unlike an angry alligator maw—aquatic predators like snook, tarpon and striped bass can all crush baitfish (or phalanges) with a single powerful chomp. Or, for a whole other world of hurt, try adding the incisors of a bluefish, walleye or pike.

Indeed, bite force is particularly driven home when a fish manages to slice, crunch or otherwise mangle the lure at the end of your line. While electrifying to experience on a rod and reel, such formidable bites often trash and retire lures, even those fresh from the package. Soft plastics? One and done. Despite their name, hardbaits can also succumb to steel-trap jaws and gnashing teeth: balsa cracks in half, screw-eyes rip loose, diving lips come unhinged. Gamefish just grin and go about the business of chomp and destroy.

“But consider an ultra-realistic swimbait that combines the flexibility and vitality of the softest plastics with the resiliency of the toughest hardbait,” poses Carter Andrews, world-travelled big fish adventurer and host of The Obsession of Carter Andrews. “That’s the Z-Man HerculeZ. Tie it on at the start of the day and battle big violent fish until you or the bait gives up. My money’s on the HerculeZ.”

A first of its kind pre-rigged swimbait comprised of 10X Tough ElaZtech®, the HerculeZ presents the perfect bite-sized target for monster fish with an attitude problem. Three bait sizes include 4-, 5- and new 6-inch versions—all armed with heavy-duty, black-nickel, chemically sharpened Mustad UltraPoint hooks.

“That powerful hook is a huge deal,” adds Andrews, “because finding similar sized baits with big, truly die-hard hooks that hold up to monster fish is next to impossible.

“But one little secret is that monster stripers, snook and other large predators target and eat smaller baitfish more often than most of us realize. Same story with freshwater monsters like pike and walleyes. Most 4- to 6-inch pre-rigged swimbaits simply aren’t equipped with hooks big or meaty enough for the task. Yet the HerculeZ’ beefy, wide-gap hooks stay wicked sharp and won’t bend out. A spacious gap and hook exposure allow for easy penetration into broad, bony jaws.”

Andrews calls out another unique advantage: “The bait’s super-soft ElaZtech composition means you can activate HerculeZ’ tail even at slower retrieve speeds. The material and tail design also make it move and kick by merely letting the lure free-fall. This type of free kicking paddletail is almost unheard of among swimbaits made with traditional, more rigid PVC plastics. It’s exactly the type of lure I need in search of the biggest, baddest fish on earth.”

“When our Australian friends threw this bait for barramundi—one of the meanest species, freshwater or salt—they simply couldn’t destroy it,” notes Z-Man President, Daniel Nussbaum. “The value of tying on one swimbait at the start of the day, slinging it for hours for big violent fish—including toothy species like pike and bluefish—can’t be overstated; its durability is off the charts.”

To bolster the bait’s toughness, Z-Man molded its ElaZtech exterior around a rigid zinc jighead and endoskeleton. “Zinc is harder than lead, so it maintains its shape, balance and performance, indefinitely,” notes Justin Willmer, pro angler for Tackle Tactics, Australia’s leading source for hardcore fishing information. “The lure’s zinc interior also provides a rock-solid foundation for its stainless-steel eyelet. This extra hook hanger allows you to add a split ring and belly treble hook, valuable for fishing in open water or around lighter biting fish. The extra hook aids in connecting with powerful implosion feeders, like giant barramundi.

“Another cool tip—and an overlooked feature of the eyelet—is to add a single Colorado blade amidships. The auxiliary blade emits extra vibration and flash and allows you to slightly slow your retrieve, when necessary.”

Yielding bonus advantages, notes Willmer, is the HerculeZ’ natural buoyancy. “First, ElaZtech is so soft and flexible that it provides extra tail action. The bait’s buoyancy means the tail is always working against the weight of the zinc jighead, bringing it to life in the water. It also keeps the lure running free and clear, even through vegetation or other cover.”

Tackle Tactics’ Vinny Versfeld, an exceptional barramundi angler, offers another tip for maximizing HerculeZ success. “Where the hook exits the lure, just behind its dorsal fin, you’ve got a small opening and pocket. It’s a perfect place to add a few drops of Pro-Cure or other scent. For extra sound, you can also insert one of those little glass rattles, encasing it in the soft, tacky material. The resilience of ElaZtech opens up all kinds of cool fish-attracting possibilities.”

At the opposite end of the equator, expert angler and fisheries scientist Jeff Matity has adopted the HerculeZ as his new-favorite swimbait for the goliath walleyes and pike swimming in Saskatchewan, Canada’s Last Mountain Lake.

“This little swimbait has lot going for it, both above the surface and below,” says Matity. “Its unique curved, keeled paddletail kicks with a beautiful tight swimming action, while the head and body track continuously forward, without excessive body roll—that’s a key, somewhat rare distinction among the best swimbaits ever made.”

Matity further points to the lure’s buoyant ElaZtech material over its internally balanced zinc weight. “This creates an alluring nose-down attitude as the lure creeps and slow-swims along rocky bottomed structure,” Matity explains. “The HerculeZ’ resilient head bounces over rocks and boulders and roots out big, big walleyes, while its buoyant qualities nearly eliminate snags.

“While my brother Jason and I typically snag and lose six or more traditional, lead-anchored swimbaits a day while fishing in rocks, we have yet to lose a single HerculeZ in these same spots. Incredible.

“Actually, the only way to end this lure’s service is to lose it!” he exclaims. Casting a single 5-inch HerculeZ (Houdini pattern), Matity caught over fifty fish, including a 10-pound walleye, a 20-pound pike and a 5-1/2-pound largemouth bass. That original lure is still alive and kicking today.”

LADSON, S.C. (WCBD) – Several people are sifting through what is left of their belongings after a major fire broke out at a Ladson storage facility on Tuesday morning.

The emergency call came in at 7:46 a.m. saying Ladson Self Storage was on fire. The fire destroyed a dozen units at the facility off Highway 78.

Wesley Cliff, who owns Living Rock Landscapes, keeps tools, equipment, and some vehicles for his company at the storage facility.

“I was on my way to work this morning and I pull up to the front of the gate and there’s a guy out there – he’s bleeding from his head, and he just asked for help, and call 9-1-1,” said Cliff.

Cliff said he was just trying to figure out what was going on.

“I look in through the gate and I see up there, I mean there’s smoke everywhere. So, I drive to the back and there’s multiple units on fire,” he recalled.

The fire was ripping through the storage units.

“There was another guy running from the back- he’s coming up to the front saying call 911, and about that time these guys were already here, and they pulled in there and they started getting everything unloaded and started fighting the fire and cutting the doors open. It was a pretty big fire. Got pretty big for a minute,” said Cliff.

12 units were destroyed by fire or heavy smoke damage.

“Units went to work immediately pulling hand lines, starting to extinguish the fire,” explained Battalion Chief Charles Evans with C&B Fire Department.

Numerous fire departments responded. The cause of the fire is undetermined at this point.

And as for the man with blood on his head, officials told News 2 he had minor injuries that did not require EMS transportation.

“Sounds like he was in the unit, perhaps fell down a ladder or some stairs, and one of the units when he was trying to get away to report the fire,” said Batt. Chief Evans.

“Luckily for us, it wasn’t one of our units. But unfortunately, there were some other contractors back there. It was their units; it’s a total loss for those guys. It’s sad that that stuff happens, but they got here fast, they got it put out pretty quickly,” said Cliff.

Crews were on the scene for several hours as they worked to extinguish the flames.

LADSON, S.C. (WCBD)- The annual Coastal Carolina Fair is underway at Exchange Park in Ladson.

Most fairgoers have their eyes and stomachs on fair food for the first day.

“They always have good food and it’s just a good time to spend with family. They have a little arts and crafts center where you can see the students’ local talents,” said Jasmine Kelly.

“Sausage dogs and French fries. Walk around and look and see what’s going on,” said Woody Barsha.

One of the new food items on the menu is an Oreo cookie crusted turkey leg.

“No I don’t think so I’ll stick to French fries,” said Barsha.

“I can’t eat that much, but I will have an elephant ear,” said Kelly.

There are 10 new rides this year as well. One of them is a Ferris Wheel that’s 12 stories tall and comes from The Netherlands.

Fair organizers say that those new attraction and food items are great additions, but having a full-scale fair is also something to celebrate.

“We’re really excited about opening up because this is the first really big open fair we’ve had since COVID-19 has happened. We say ‘New in 22,’ and that’s what we’re doing because we have brand new rides, we have many new food vendors so we’re really excited about starting the year off right,” said Gary Leonard from the office of Media and Publicity Relations at the Coastal Carolina Fair.

Most families make the fair a tradition, but it’s even more special for Dan Caskey.

“Today’s my birthday. Every year I have a party and bring this to town to share with everybody else. It’s a great tradition. We love coming out here and having a fun time with the family,” said Caskey.

The fair runs for 12 days and hours of operation can be found here. A calendar of events can be found here.
