Plumbing Repairs and Emergencies
When you need your plumber most is when the unexpected happens. A clogged sewer line, the garbage disposal is making an evil noise, you can only get cold water in your shower and you have guests coming for the weekend.
The Quicker the Response the Less Damage
Quick Test for Toilet Leaks
The trouble with leaking toilets is you don’t always hear them leaking. Slow, silent toilet leaks are quite common. Checking regularly for toilet leaks is not a part of most people’s normal routine, but it should be. We recommend checking quarterly for toilet leaks. The fastest way to check for a toilet leak is to put a couple of drops of dark food coloring in the toilet tank. Remember, don’t flush the toilet during this test. Wait at least 15 minutes, then check the water in the toilet bowl. If color has traveled into the bowl, the toilet tank is leaking.
The Costs of Plumbing Leaks
Plumbing leaks add up over time. Leaking faucets can be big water wasters.
Check faucets in the bathroom and kitchen periodically for leaks.
A faucet dripping at just one small drop per second can waste 7 gallons per day or more than 2,500 gallons per year!
