Save Time and Money by Repairing or Replacing Your Toilet

With water shortages becoming more common, numerous states are enacting regulations to conserve water.  Likewise, homeowners, faced with ever-increasing bills are also looking for ways to reduce household expenses.

Installing a high-efficiency toilet can save a substantial amount of money.  The older, more water-intensive models consume as much as 7 gallons per flush; replacing one of these with a water-conserving model can reduce usage by up to 55 percent.  Looking at the bigger picture, such a move simultaneously reduces pressure on limited water supplies and, in urban areas, the amount of waste flowing to sewage treatment plants.

In rural areas not served by municipal wastewater treatment plants, water-efficient toilets reduce the amount of waste flowing into septic tanks and leach fields, extending the life of these systems.  If you use well water, an efficient toilet will also cut down the run time of your well pump, which also reduces electrical consumption.

Water-efficient toilets have improved significantly since their early days in the 1980s and now perform much more reliably and with greater efficiency. Interested in repairing or replacing your toilet? Contact us today to discuss more options for your bathroom.
