Plumbing Service Tips for Delaware County Residents

July 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Conserving water is an easy step to help reduce your monthly bills.  In addition, try and cut back on the amount of washing detergent, bleach or other types of hazardous chemicals that can kill the natural bacteria inside the septic system.  Instead try to utilizing biodegradable soaps.  

During the summer months we have all been there to see your lawn start to brown out.  No homeowner likes a brown lawn.  Watering the lawn is always the solution but it can also take a toll on your water and sewer bills.  Visit your local hardware store and buy a sprinkler that has a timer.  This way instead of constantly monitoring your water supply, you can easily set to 15, 30, 45 and 60 minute intervals.  The best time to water your lawn is during the evening hours.  The reason is because the sun will not roast your lawn and will evaporate slower during the night time, thus giving your lawn a better healthier look.  

The water pressure inside your home that is over 65 pounds is hazardous to your plumbing system.  Instead lower your water pressure on your home.  You can easily do this yourself if you can find the main water supply to your home or business.  

Toilets on average use up 35-40 percent of your total water usage.  Instead try and replace your toilet flapper and fill up valve, this way you can regulate how much water reaches into the bowl.  There are many other techniques that you as a homeowner can do to your home thus saving thousands of dollars over the course of time.  Another simple tip is to lower the water heater temperature is another easy way you cab save.
