Bursting business

AUBURN - Steve Bianco spent his Thursday morning lying on the kitchen floor of a stranger's home on North Seward, wedged into a nook normally meant for a lazy Susan.

Bianco, owner of Bianco Plumbing and Heating, finds himself in these situations a lot these days.

The season for frozen and bursting pipes is here, and plumbers in the area are reporting an onslaught of telephone calls from homeowners who have water flowing from places it shouldn't be.
