Just as pipes leak, so do faucets. There are various reasons faucets would leak from cracked pipes and seals to increased water pressure. Some of these situations can be easily fixed, however, others may require a professional hand. Don't hesitate as a situation like this can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.

Homeowners hold a lot of responsibility. One of the many things homeowners must know how to do is to know how to do last-minute, small repairs for plumbing emergencies. When it comes to these drop of a hat repairs there are a few things that the homeowner needs including plungers, hex keys, plumbing kits, and buckets.

Knowing where to find the water and gas shut-off valve is crucial during plumbing emergencies as well. If you've done all you can but need assistance, then give your local professional a call for help!

When buying, or building, a home there are many things that you should be aware of. Some of these include the lifespan of your appliances and plumbing. Older homes may have some questionable plumbing, which is why an inspection is recommended before or shortly after purchasing an older home. It could lead to spending way more than expected if you buy a home just in time for a pipe to burst.

Every appliance and piece of plumbing has a limited lifespan. Water heaters, for example, can last anywhere between 10 and 20 years, whereas sump pumps and faucets last between 10 and 12 years. Toilets can last up to 50 years, but that also depends on the maintenance and upkeep.
