McNichols Learning is a tutoring service that is fundamentally different from any other service in the area. With years of educational experience, the staff understands how to help struggling students find success. Typically, many students begin to fall behind starting in the third or fourth grade when the public school teaching curriculum starts transitioning from concrete thinking to abstract thinking. However, many children are not ready for this shift, and the schools are not equipped to support the struggling students who have trouble learning by memorization. This creates challenges that quickly become too difficult to overcome in the classroom.

McNichols Learning uses researched teaching methods that have been proven, over decades, to cognitively benefit students. By meeting children where they academically are, the staff can engage with the students in a new and meaningful way. They help the kids learn to move beyond thinking concretely by using interactive, multisensory programs that neurologically develop the whole brain. With these techniques, children build upon their knowledge base to more gradually transition to abstract thinking which involves conceptual understanding—not just memorization. Interactive exploration replaces the inflexible drills that are too often found in the classroom. Kids are invigorated to participate, and they gain greater confidence.

After more than 30 years supporting all types of students in our community, McNichols Learning is expanding to include online tutoring—in addition to the face to face sessions in their center. The knowledgeable and inviting staff is available to help change the learning experience of your student. No matter what a student is struggling with, the methods used by McNichols Learning can help your child reach his or her full potential!

South County Restoration

Repipe Before You Remodel

by Victoria Kertz

YOUR ONE-STOP SHOP FOR THE 3 Rs: REPIPE, REMEDIATE AND REMODEL 

Facing a slab leak or plumbing disaster? Let South County Restoration in San Clemente come to your rescue. From the second you see water damage, call owner Casey McCants, before you contact your insurance provider. Casey’s team is your one-stop resource to stop the leak, repipe your home, repair the drywall, and perform the required remodel work. Many mitigation companies offer services to address only one component in the process, but South County Restoration offers a comprehensive solution, from the moment you notice a leak to the last repair detail. 

Since 2008, this dedicated team of professionals has been providing emergency water remediation and restoration throughout South Orange County. In addition to being a general contractor, Casey is also a trained homeowner advocate, so he is well-equipped to address insurance claim issues on your behalf. Casey has the knowledge and experience to answer insurance provider questions, file the claim, and recover the compensation you deserve. In some cases, insurance may even pay for a portion of your repipe. 

“He knows what to ask for,” Annmarie McCants explains. If it’s necessary for you to relocate to a hotel while the house is uninhabitable, Casey fights to make sure your living expenses are covered. “He spends hours on the phone. It takes legwork.” 

“Insurance companies want you to use their approved vendors and do the least amount of work to restore your home,” says Casey. That’s where South Country Restoration stands out. His team conducts a thorough investigation of the damage, suggests a long-term solution, and makes certain all work is done correctly. 

Water damage can quickly result in mold and other hazards that can wreak havoc on your health and home. The remediation and restoration process addresses the cause of the issue and stops mold from spreading in your walls and other spaces. Whether the job requires demolition, mold removal, or a basic dry-out, South County Restoration is committed to returning your family to a safe and healthy environment. 

How does the process work? First, call Casey at 949.536.8204. He and his dedicated team will initiate your claim, schedule the repipe, work with your insurance company to get the best settlement, and restore your property to its original condition. Casey’s team will arrive at your home at 8 a.m. on the day of repiping, cover everything in plastic, execute the repairs, and provide you with running water that very night. 

South County Restoration utilizes cross-linked polyethylene, better known as PEX, to bypass or replace existing pipes. PEX tubing is flexible and can be directly routed to where it needs to go. The product’s flexibility reduces the need to make joints and turns, while improving water pressure. A PEX repipe prevents future leaks and is designed to last a lifetime. 

After the repipe is completed, a second team arrives to repair the drywall, typically two days later. They also perform mitigation services, thoroughly clean and abate the area, conduct mold and asbestos testing, and provide moving and storage, as required. Only South County Restoration can repipe your home and repair the walls in as little as three days. 

Big box providers typically don’t have the time or inclination to partner with clients down to the details, but South County Restoration has and always will be a customer-centric, community-based company. Helping neighbors recover from water damage, so they receive prompt compensation from their insurer, is what Casey’s team does best. 

Have you been in your home longer than 10 years? Or perhaps your neighbor just repiped? It may be time for you to do the same. 

With a 24/7 Rapid Response Team standing by, and a 49-minute arrival time, call on South County Restoration when trouble arises. Check out SouthCountyRestoration.com and remember to call Casey, before you call your insurance company. 

Call South County Restoration BEFORE you call your insurance company!

Since 2008, Casey McCants has been working with insurance adjusters to negotiate and reach fair settlements for clients all around South Orange County.
