Can a dripping faucet increase my water bill?

• <div><p>Yes, a dripping faucet can increase your water bill. Leaking faucets use up more water than you’d think. According to the <a href="https://www.epa.gov/watersense/fix-leak-week">Environmental Protection Agency</a>, a faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year. If you have more than one dripping faucet, your water bill can increase even further. </p></div>

Q: Can a dripping faucet stop on its own?

• <div><p>In most cases, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-drip-faucets.htm">dripping faucet</a> will not stop on its own. Dripping usually occurs because of a failed cartridge or broken washers. Normal wear and tear eventually runs these parts down and causes the faucet to drip when you've already shut off your sink. Replacing the cartridge or washer should fix the problem. </p></div>

Q: Why is water coming out of the shower when the tub is on?

• <div><p>The diverter valve in your bathtub is responsible for diverting water between your tub spout and your shower head. If water comes out of both at the same time, you have a faulty diverter valve. You can have a plumber replace this for you, or you can replace it yourself if you have some experience working with plumbing fixtures.</p></div>

Q: How can I increase the flow of my low-flow toilet?

• <div><p>While you shouldn&rsquo;t increase the flow of your low-flow toilet by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-adjust-water-level-in-toilet.htm">adjusting the water level in the toilet bowl</a> set by the manufacturer, you can make the flow as efficient as possible by ensuring the rim jets under the rim are unobstructed. To do this, use a mirror to look under the rim and scrub them with a toothbrush or a small wire to clear any debris stuck in the holes. You can also watch for leaks, make sure the internal components are in good shape, and replace them if necessary. </p></div>

Q: Does water with calcium buildup taste different?

• <div><p>While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.</p></div>

This local company exceeded my expectations as they have in the past (when they provided annual maintenance for my HVAC unit). Yesterday, I needed ducting installed to vent my dryer outside the crawlspace, where had been installed by the previous homeowners. Central Air sent two friendly,...

Efficient, professional and speedy installation. Todd has a facility for explaining what he intends to do regarding the job (and why) in layman's terms. No jargon. In my opinion a very good businessman and an indispensable vendor when you have electrical issues.

Kirk's store is now open all the time so it took a while to find it open. He had a lot to choose from and the girl was very helpful in the store. Had a few set backs with the stone but all went well when it finally arrived. Because this was my first time at renovation, I should have asked a...

First of all, Woods Plumbing is timely and very professional. The employee not only fixed everything that I had spotted myself, but went beyond that to ensure that all the drain pipes were clear, not just the one I was aware of. He also discovered one of the toilets had been been attached...

I've been using Barto for over 25 years. They were very quick to make an easy sale and sell me the 5 year warranty program. It took them 5 days to arrange delivery, which I can understand that it can take some time. I had to pay extra for the mount that the unit slides into and for the...
