Today, Bill from Elite Plumbing is here to discuss plumbing. Dripping faucets and running toilets can cost you a lot of money, so we'll go over some tips to save you money in the long run.
First off, you need to be proactive. Once a month, check on the toilets that aren't used as often. If you see any movement in the water whatsoever, something needs to be fixed. It could be a fill bottle or a worn out flapper. Usually, it's a five dollar part that can save you over ten dollars a month on your water bill.
If you can't tell if there's a leak, take some food coloring and put it in the tank. If the water in the bowl changes colors, then you know you have a leak.
If you have a leaky faucet and you're not comfortable fixing it yourself, at least shut the water off under the sink so you'll save money on your water bill.
Keep in mind that 95% of this stuff can be fixed by the homeowner.Don't waste money on a plumber for something you can fix for five dollars. If you aren't sure about something, every hardware store has a plumbing specialist who can help you. If you try to fix it and it doesn't work, then call the plumber.
If you have any questions, please give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
