Over the years, plumbing fixtures can degrade, and they will eventually need replacement. By replacing outdated plumbing fixtures with water-efficient modern ones, homeowners can help the environment while saving money on their monthly utility bills. When considering upgrading fixtures, the customer should know which fixtures could benefit most from a replacement.
New Drains
Installing a new drain can do much more than make a bathtub, shower or sink look new; it can increase the drain’s performance and make it more hygienic.
Faucet Aerators
Aerators are small metal grids that allow water to flow evenly from a faucet. Over the years, sediment can build up, causing faucets to flow less freely. When replacing the aerator, the Plumber will check for rust and erosion.
Water Heaters
An older water heater is inefficient when compared to a modern model. Newer units save electricity and provide hours of hot water; by choosing an energy efficient unit, homeowners can save on power bills.
Faucets
Leaking faucets can waste several hundred gallons per year, and all that money will just go down the drain. Faucets have several moving parts, and unless the homeowner is an expert, they’ll need a plumber’s help to fix or replace a faucet.
Leaky Faucets
If there are leaky pipes in the home, the homeowner should hire a plumber for immediate repairs. Leaking pipes do much more than use water, they can cause severe property damage.
Toilets
Leaky toilets should be repaired for many of the same reasons as leaky pipes; by doing so, serious property damage can be prevented. If left unrepaired, water from a leaky toilet can foster the growth of bacteria, mildew and mold, and it can ruin the home’s structure.
Sinks
A leaky sink can also cause water waste and property damage. Depending on the placement and the severity of the leak, the homeowner may want to call a plumber for expert help.
Upgraded plumbing fixtures can save money in the long run by reducing the amount of power or water needed to do certain things.
