It’s Summertime, and the feeling’s fine!
Unless you have leaky faucets…
Indoor pools are great, but not one made by the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet! We’ve all heard a leaky faucet could fill a pool, well that’s true. Those drips add up and end up costing quite a bit.
We talk a lot about preventative maintenance because we know it saves you headaches and a lot of money. A few simple things taken care of now helps you avoid major catastrophes down the line. A dripping faucet CAN fill a pool over time and adds to your monthly utility bill.
Did you know most utility companies can perform an efficiency test to see where your energy dollars are being spent? It’s something we recommend, especially if your bill increases suddenly. Checking your pipes and faucets for leaks is a good idea and will save money. Most leaks occur at or near plumbing fixtures like tubs, sinks, and toilets. If something has been leaking for a while (and you might not even realize it) you could have mold damage in the surrounding area. Wet wood will need to be professionally repaired or replaced if it has started to rot.
Sometimes you’ll notice your water pressure isn’t like it used to be. Often the cause is clogged faucet heads. In the Ozarks, we tend to have quite a bit of calcium and lime in our water. Sometimes, we even have rust in the water from older pipes.
These factors can clog your shower or sink head. You can clean them with an old toothbrush and vinegar, gently scrubbing out the build-up.
Maybe it’s time for a new faucet. Don’t let the seemingly simple and little job like a faucet change-out lead to a big headache of leaks and water shut off. Give us a call and we can replace your sinks and faucets without it turning into a headache for you.
If you have a slow-draining or clogged drain, try our recipe that works wonders for many of our customers. We hope it works for you too. But if not, we are here to help.
A little reminder, if you find you need a whole new heating, A/C system or new plumbing, we provide you with Peace of Mind. As with any major outlay of money, we encourage you to get more than one bid. You need to know your options to better assess who you’d like to replace your systems. We always give free estimates!
Better yet, if you are a Peace of Mind member, replacement costs may be included (ask us about the details of the plan). For a low monthly membership investment, you are assured that we get to know your systems and work to make sure they are in tip-top shape. You wouldn’t be afraid about the cost of having even the little things checked out because you have Peace of Mind. If you want to learn more, simply give us a call or click here.
