Bathroom Plumbing Installations and Repairs
A common issue homeowners experience with their bathroom plumbing is phantom flushing. This is where you’ll hear a toilet running even though no one has used it recently. Don’t ignore this problem. It can result in wasting up to 200 gallons a day. Often, the toilet repair is as simple as replacing the flapper. At worst, you may have to replace the entire tank assembly. That’s well worth it when you consider all the water you’ll save.
Toilets can use significant water even when they’re functioning well. The federal limit is 1.6 gallons per flush. If considering a new toilet installation, we recommend a model with the WaterSense label. Those use no more than 1.28 gallons per flush. That can save you thousands of dollars over the life of a toilet.
Another way to conserve water with your bathroom plumbing is with a high-efficiency shower replacement. Low-flow showerheads use no more than 2 gallons per minute. You can also opt for a head with an integrated filter for your shower installation. That filter can remove hardness and chemicals for a better shower experience.
