Don’t Water Down The Facts

March 20, 2012 by Dorothy Skinner 4 Comments

Bathroom fixtures.Plumbers see a lot of water use, and a lot of waste. We hear toilets leaking and cycling water on and off, we get asked to remove the flow restrictors out of shower heads so people stop complaining about inadequate water spray. We recognize when irrigation systems or water hoses spew run-off onto sidewalks, alleys and streets.

We see water wastefulness all the time because most of the population is still unconcerned with the value of our water and why we need to be good stewards with our resources.  [Read more…] about Don’t Water Down The Facts

Be Kind to Your Faucet Washer

November 30, 2011 by Dorothy Skinner Leave a Comment

Most faucets work by turning a handle, which compresses a flat rubber washer up against a piece of metal. This closes off the circulation of water. It is a round washer that pushes up against a round seat. Most of the time when washers are damaged, it is not due to age or bad rubber. It’s caused by user mishandling.

Faucets that require washers periodically need them changed for maintenance purposes. In most cases when we see severely damaged washers it’s due to over tightening. When a homeowner sees a drop of water come out of their faucet it’s their natural inclination to crank the faucet harder. This can destroy the washer, rendering it useless. It can even break it into several pieces that end up in the aerator.  [Read more…] about Be Kind to Your Faucet Washer

Water Heaters in Attics

July 8, 2011 by Dorothy Skinner Leave a Comment

Water heaters.Where is your water heater located? Water heaters can be found in many different areas of a home. Sometimes they are located in a closet, sometimes in a garage. Either of these locations makes sense. However, at some point installing water heaters in attics seemed like a good idea for some. This turned out to be a less than perfect situation. The severity of damage due to leaks greatly increased. Maintenance in replacements became more difficult, especially when put in 2nd floor pull-down attics. Believe it or not it, comes down to closet space. In my opinion, the added ten square feet to the home isn’t worth that much risk.  [Read more…] about Water Heaters in Attics

January 17, 2011 by Dorothy Skinner Leave a Comment

Water heaters.Water heaters are funny sometimes. You probably notice it first in the shower. Repair a toilet and you can tell right away, but a water heater in need of repair isn’t so evident until you start getting cold water for what seems to be no reason.

Before you head out of the bathroom and look for a baseball bat to find out who used all the hot water, see if you notice any trends:  [Read more…] about Are You Staying Warm In The Shower?
