There is nothing better than taking a nice, warm shower to start out the day. And if there is something wrong with your water heater, you may notice it here first. From washing laundry and dishes, cooking and cleaning, to showers and baths, warm water is central to many of our day to day activities. That is why maintaining the health of your water heater is so essential.

Can you run your washing machine, dishwasher and have multiple showers going at the same time without worrying about running out of hot water? No? Well, a tankless water heater will help you get closer to that endless supply of hot water.

Hard water is a nuisance and causes residue to form wherever water is supplied. Water softener systems do much more than take care of hard water stains on dishes and shower walls. They promote healthy skin and hair, keep clothes looking newer longer, and generally make cleaning up faster.

The average person spends 182 hours a year in the bathroom. That is a lot of toilet time (for those of you counting, around 7.5 days). If your toilet is constantly running, gets clogged a lot, or leaks, that makes those 7.5 days a lot longer.

Garbage disposals have made every day life so much easier. Much of what used to go into the garbage now ends up down the drain. Knowing what can and shouldn't go through the garbage disposal can help lengthen the life of your disposal and reduce maintenance needs.

There are about as many choices and options with sink faucets as there are cars. Getting the right look and function from your kitchen sink faucet can make or break how you feel about your kitchen. And when your kitchen faucet leaks, it can flood the cabinet and cause other damage.

People hardly think about things that are designed well and that work as expected. If you've ever washed your hands in the bathroom sink and hit the back of the sink because the faucet is too small, you may sympothize with the feeling and statement "Why did they choose this faucet!?"

Imagine yourself slipping into the bathtub after a long week. Lights are low, soft music in the background, maybe a candle, and....."drip" "drip" "drip".

If you've ever had this experience you know that even a small drip can cause what should be a relaxing moment to lose its appeal. Don't let a faucet problem ruin your ability to relax.

Did you know the first showers were used in ancient Greece and Egypt? Showers are a great way to relieve stress and let your worries wash away. If you have a clogged, leaking, or damaged shower head, the stress relieving effects can quickly become annoyance inducing.

If you were ever that kid that ran through the sprinklers, you were probably also that kid that drank from the hose. Hose bibs are the faucets on the outside of your home. They are awesome for getting that dry spot in your lawn, water fights, and for use in your garden. If not properly maintained, hose bibs can freeze in the winter, break, leak and cause damage inside your home.

An unfinished basement is a blank slate. The best time to have a plumber come in to do their work is after the framing is up and before sheetrock, and electrical work is done. If you have a basement project in mind, a professional plumber can give you guidance on where walls optimally should be placed to avoid unneccessary changes in where drain lines are currently installed.

Whether your home is 10 years old or 150 years old, sometimes your vision of the best use of your space is different than what the architect planned. In older homes it is often necessary to update the plubming system. If you want to add a bathroom or move where your laundry room is, that can be an involved process that can only benefit from expert plumbing advice.

The kitchen is one of the main gathering points in any home. It's where we eat and play games together. If your drain lines are having issues, it can quickly translate into a messy situation that makes the kitchen a less enjoyable place to hang out.

If you've ever dealt with a clogged laundry drain line, you know how messy and expensive it can be. Not only does it leave your laundry room floor wet, but it can saturate your drywall and cause mold if left uncorrected.

Many people don't realize it, but gas lines are in a plumber's wheelhouse. Whether it's to run a line to the back yard for your bbq or moving pipes for a remodel, if something flows through it, a plumber can help.

Just as the eyes are the gateway to the soul, your main water valve is the gateway to all of the plumbing in your home or business. Improperly installed valves can cause issues with water pressure, cause leaks, and accelerate wear on your plumbing system.
