Don't Let Your Toilet Run !

Don't Let Your Toilet Run !

When you have a toilet that constantly runs or fills up when no has used it recently or is making a hissing noise it is very important to get it fixed. Stated above are all symptoms of a runny toilet. Runny toilets can cause numerous problems for a home owner. 

A runny toilet can use up to 200 gallons of water a day causing your water bill to go up significantly. Also , all of that water that is being used unmeaning-fully can fill up your cesspool up to five times faster than it normally would. Both of those problems alone can cost you a lot of money.

The picture above is a picture of a toilet that was damaged by constant running. When water constantly runs from the tank into the bowl it creates brownish streaks down the bowl. These streaks are damaging to the bowls appearance and are extremely hard to remove.

Hose Spigot Burts

Turning your hose spigots on for the first time of the year !

Be careful when turning your outdoor hose spigots on for the first time of the year. An extremely common problem is a portion of the pipe freezes during the winterization part of the process. If your hose spigot has a isolated shut off valve inside it is important to close it before the winter season.

If the isolated valve is closed and not all of the water is drained out of the rest of the pipe from the valve to the spigot a freeze and burst can occur. It is highly recommended to turn these isolated valves on slowly when the winter season ends and be on the look out for potential leaks.

 

 



 The picture above is what a typical frozen pipe burst looks like . If you have a frozen pipe burst we would be more than happy to help you out and fix the leak. Keep in mind that we offer coupons that you can use when we fix these types of leaks.
