A quick hydraulic tip for water conservation

The average Italian uses 60 to 70 liters of water a day for bathing, washing, cooking and other daily activities. Water is a vital resource, and water conservation is an increasingly important issue nationwide. Perhaps you have already taken important steps to reduce your water consumption, from checking leaking taps to avoiding unnecessary flushing, but you will still receive a high water bill every month. At the Birmingham Emergency Plumber, we would like to suggest another quick tip that is often overlooked.

Check the water you use

One of the best ways to promote water conservation is to gain greater control over the amount of water used by the appliances in your home. You can make changes to:

The taps in the sink. Whenever you turn on the sink to wash your hands or wash the dishes, you may be using more water than necessary. A low-flow aerator can fit the faucet to reduce the rate of water coming out of the spout.

Your water pressure. Call your neighborhood water authority to find the water pressure setting on your street. If it is greater than 60 pounds per square inch, it is possible that the plumbing system is being damaged in the long run while using more water than necessary. While not all Birmingham pipes can be changed, a pressure reducing valve can reduce domestic water pressure and preserve pipes.

Reduce waste from daily activities

When the flow of water that comes out of the taps and shower heads is higher than it should be, you may waste water every time you wash your face, brush your teeth or wash your cutlery. By making the simple changes above, you can promote water conservation without drastically altering your daily habits or skipping the morning shower.

Why the toilet makes noise

Image
 The toilet flush turns itself off When the toilet flush is self-contained, commonly known as a 'ghost flush', one may wonder why this phenomenon occurs. It is usually related to a faulty flap in the toilet tank, which means that the water in the tank slowly escapes. When the water reaches a certain level, the water activates and seems to flush itself. What gurgling might indicate Gurgling is more difficult to detect, as it could be related to several factors. It could be traced back to a sewer drain problem, a toilet blockage or other blockages. In case of gurgling, it is advisable to try using another toilet in the house until the problem is resolved. If the gurgling comes from several drains, it is possible that the main plumbing line is blocked. You hear dripping noises coming from the toilet If the toilet is dripping , it is more than likely that there is a leak somewhere inside the toilet. Check if there is water on the floor to see if it is an external leak.  If you see...

Why do my plumbing pipes make noise?

 Repair plumbing noises yourself Accessing pipes, valves, connections and fixtures can be difficult if you are not familiar with residential plumbing projects. A few simple steps can be taken to fix the noise, but the repair may not be easy, even for the most experienced do-it-yourself homeowner.  Screeching High-pitched noises, such as squealing, whistling and bellowing, coming from the plumbing system usually indicate that the valves are in need of repair. One of the bolts, nuts or other small pieces of hardware may be broken, worn or missing. You can check the valve hardware to find the source of the problem, then simply replace the broken piece. We can also schedule one of our technicians to come and fix the problem.
