Installing Eco-Friendly Plumbing

We are the Green generation. We are more aware of our planet’s precious resources and aware that if we don’t conserve them we will one day be facing the very real prospect of not having any resources left. One of the ways we can make the greatest impact is in how we conserve and use water in our lives.

Our collective toilets use 4.8 billion gallons of water every day just to flush. Twenty five percent of our homes’ daily use of water goes down the toilet. Needless to say the toilet is the biggest culprit in wasting water. New low-flush toilets are ultra conservative and only use 1.6 gallons a water per flush, which makes a huge impact on our water resources.
If you are like most people your home probably came with the standard water wasting toilet and you never thought about it twice. But now you need to think about it.

Having your old toilet removed and a new low flushing toilet installed is not a hard job but it is a messy one and you really need to know what you’re doing so you don’t have any unseen water leaks eating away at your floorboards in the bathroom destroying your bathrooms stability.

It is far better and cheaper in the long run to have a licensed plumbing professional come in and do the job quickly and right. If you don’t already have a plumber an excellent way to find one is to use a consumer based web site that provides you with options in your area. The advantage to using this kind of web site is that you are able to read the reviews already in place by current and past customers. People who feel they have been wronged by a service are not shy about posting it and the same can be said about people who have found a trusted, knowledgeable plumber that they want to recommend to everyone. Needless to say this is a good way to find supplemental information on someone that you have already heard about.

Once you find a few plumbers who are rated high by other consumers your job is almost done. All you have to do now is make a few calls, get a few on the phone price quotes for the job and go buy a new low-flush toilet and start making a positive impact on the environment.
