Water testing can help identify potential issues with your household water supply by detecting contaminants, such as bacteria, lead, pesticides, or other harmful substances that may not be visible or noticeable. Testing can also determine the pH levels, hardness, and other factors that can affect the quality of your water and potentially cause health problems or damage to your plumbing system. Regular water testing is essential to ensure the safety and quality of your drinking water.

As a licensed plumber, I take several measures to minimize disruptions to your daily routine while performing plumbing services in your home. This includes scheduling appointments at a convenient time for you, communicating clearly about the work that needs to be done, working efficiently to complete the job in a timely manner, and cleaning up after the work is finished to leave your home in the same condition as when I arrived.

Turn off the main water supply to your home to stop the flow of water. Open faucets to drain any remaining water in the pipes. Collect any leaking water in buckets or containers to prevent further damage. Keep the affected area well-ventilated to help dry out any moisture.

To ensure your sewer line remains free from clogs and blockages over time, it is important to avoid flushing non-biodegradable items down the toilet, regularly maintain your plumbing system, and schedule professional inspections and cleanings as needed.

Some eco-friendly options for upgrading bathroom plumbing fixtures include low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and faucet aerators.
