Angelina came home from a three day family trip to find sewage rising out of her basement into her shower and toilet. Four to five inches of it.
She called Advantage Plumbing Heating & Air. Dustin and Ramsey showed up, diagnosed the problem, snaked the drain and the foundation line, and walked her through everything they were doing step by step. She now requests those two technicians by name every time she calls.
That's who you're dealing with.
Right now Advantage is offering $89 drain clearing with a one year guarantee. Every job includes a free camera inspection of your pipes so you know exactly what you're dealing with. If they find something, you get an honest estimate. No pressure, no obligation.
A slow drain won't fix itself. The longer you wait, the worse it gets.

DAYTON DIGEST
🌳 Parks set expectations as prom season begins
With prom season underway, Five Rivers MetroParks is reminding students to follow park rules during celebrations. Officials say popular photo spots across the state, including those near Dayton, often see large groups this time of year. Visitors are asked to respect curfews, avoid alcohol, and leave parks clean. The goal is to keep these spaces safe and open for everyone throughout the season.
💼 A quiet expansion with big local impact
Home care provider Right at Home Dayton is expanding operations into Kettering, adding services and jobs in the region. The company focuses on in-home care for seniors and adults with disabilities. Leaders say the expansion reflects growing demand for care services across Montgomery County. It is another sign of steady growth in Dayton’s healthcare sector.
🧠 AI is now part of every student’s path
The University of Dayton will require all incoming students to take artificial intelligence courses beginning in fall 2026. The curriculum includes one course on AI fundamentals and another focused on ethics and real-world applications. School leaders say the goal is to prepare students for careers shaped by rapidly evolving technology. The program will reach students across every major, not just technical fields.
A new chapter begins for Boys & Girls Club of Dayton
The Boys & Girls Club of Dayton broke ground Monday morning on a brand new 37,000-square-foot facility just off West Stewart Street that will double the number of kids the organization serves. The new building is part of the From Here Forward Campaign, which has already raised $15 million of the $18 million needed to make it happen, with $1.4 million in congressionally directed funding secured by Ohio Rep. Mike Turner. The upgraded space will offer programming like cooking classes, driver's license programs, and career readiness planning. Crystal Allen, BGCD's CEO, said the community has rallied behind the mission of helping young people reach self-sufficiency. Dayton Commissioner Chris Shaw, a BGCD alum himself, called the project transformational for the Desoto Bass and White Chapel neighborhoods, and said he believes it will inspire even more people to come alongside.

Gutter Inspection and Cleaning - Your Weekly Dose of Home Advice
Before the first hot day hits, swap out your HVAC filter and give your AC unit a once-over. Check that the outdoor condenser is clear of debris, leaves, and anything that accumulated over winter. Turn the system on for a test run now so you're not discovering a problem on the hottest day of the year. If it hasn't been serviced in over a year, schedule a tune-up before the summer rush drives up wait times.
