Summer is finally around the corner and with the warmer weather comes an increase in water usage by at least 25%. Although we will all use more water in the summer, there are some ways that you can avoid wasting water and money on your monthly bill!
The Facts on Leaks:
• The average household's leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year, or the amount of water needed to wash 270 loads of laundry.
In an event of a serious plumbing emergency such as a flood or a cracked pipe, do not try to fix the situation yourself because it could cause an even bigger problem. The only thing you should do is call a professional plumber and try to alleviate the issue as much as you can till the plumber arrives.
Mold is a word that we do not like to hear. Although it is unappetizing to think about, it is imperative that every home or business owner understands the causes of mold and the ways to remedy it since an ongoing presence of mold can lead to dangerous health effects such as lung and other respiratory problems.

A water saving device is a washer (with a pinhole) that reduces the amount of water that flows through it but also increases the pressure.
