Beware of Your Hose Bibs!
Posted by admin on Apr 11, 2015 in Troubleshooting
Hose bibs, the faucets on the outside of your homes, are very handy. What people don’t know is that they can also cause a lot of damage if they freeze and break during the winter. When spring arrives and the pipe connected to the faucet thaws, it can leak and cause damage to the interior of your home. All hoses should be removed before winter, and drips should be repaired. If the hose bib was installed correctly, it should drain out leaving it dry throughout the winter and problem free come spring. Do a quit inspection inside your home after you turn on your hose bibs for the first time this spring, so you can catch any leaks before they cause major damage.
Is a Recirculation System What You Need?

If you turn on your faucet and then wait forever for the water to heat up, a recirculation system may be what you are looking for. A recirculation pump installed on your water heater circulates hot water through your house, so there is minimal to no wait time for the water to heat up. You can have a timer installed, so the hot water is only circulated during hours of use or run it full time. Either way, you are saving time, water, and money!
All Plumbers Are Not Created Equal
Posted by admin on Feb 22, 2015 in Uncategorized
We’ve all done it – try to cut corners to save a little money. But as the saying goes, that which is cheap becomes expensive. This is very true when it comes to home repairs. Take the time to investigate who you are hiring. Are they licensed? If not, the Construction Contractors Board will not help you if a dispute arises. Are they insured? A simple leak from faulty installment can lead to thousands of dollars of repair bills quickly. How are they going to pay to repair your sheetrock if they couldn’t afford insurance? Saving a couple of bucks on your plumbing repair is never worth it, and a reputable company charges a little more to protect the customer.
