Some of us are we are thinking about our New Year’s resolutions. The usual promises to eat better and shed some pounds. Well how about saving some money this year with some plumbing resolutions as well?

All home owners know maintaining good care of your investment will pay off in a multitude of ways specifically in regards to your home or business’s plumbing.

It’s sometimes easy to forget that the plumbing works all day. This makes it susceptible to problems. Don’t call the plumber if you don’t have to in the New Year!

Add a few plumbing resolutions to your list and don’t worry about your plumbing in 2019.

Your garbage disposal is not a garbage can – Though it does say the word garbage, trust us, all garbage is not for your garbage disposal. Promise yourself to properly dispose of food waste in the New Year. It will save you a few hundred dollars in the end.

Take Charge – A lot of times a minor leak or clogged pipe or drain can turn into a real pain. Pay very close attention to all things that don’t seem right, loud sounds, water that doesn’t get hot or stays too hot, water squirting or a change in the color of your faucet water.

These small hazards will not stay small. They often end up being expensive emergency calls.

Get new appliances if possible – Are some of your appliances 7, 10 or even 15 years old?

Appliances at the end of their shelf lives can cause more problems then they are worth. Invest now and save later. A busted water heater can turn into a flood real fast in a hurry.

Having a good functioning water system means fewer chances of issues that will cause emergency hazards in the future.

TIP: Consider ENERGY STAR labelled products as they will be more energy efficient, saving you some cash on your total energy bill.
