Repair those leaks

Keep your faucets and toilets and other plumbing from leaking and wasting water. Replacing old leaking parts will save you money every month on your water bill. Also when you upgrade to new fixtures in most cases they are much more efficient than the one being replaced. There are very few things we buy now a days that last as long as plumbing fixtures. They are definitely a better investment than an electronic good such as a smart phone or computer. How many times have you replaced those? Compare that to how many times you have replaced plumbing fixtures.

Check your weak points

Checking weak points in your plumbing system. Many emergency plumbing problems can be avoided. Look at your washer machine water supply hose’s. Most people do laundry dailey, inspect your hoses. If you still have rubber hoses have them changed to no burst metal braided type. Also do you have an ice maker in your fridge? If you do this means you have a water supply line, look at it if it looks bad, kinked or if it is plastic. Have it changed! Many times I have seen plastic lines fail. Results water damage to floors and and ceilings. Another area that should be checked is under you dishwasher, it is a place where things could be happening with out knowing.
