Our Kitchen Sink Repair & Replacing faucets
If you’re like most homeowners, your kitchen is the central hub of your house. Whether it’s cooking meals, washing up, or cleaning, your kitchen sink is one of the most used fixtures in the house and is one that wears out the quickest. We also replace kitchen faucets when the time has come for renewing it
However, many people continue using their worn-out sinks longer than they should, leading to plumbing problems and less convenience in the kitchen. If you’re unsure when is the right time to replace your kitchen sink, here are some signs to watch for.
Visible Wear and Tear
One of the most obvious signs that your kitchen sink is past its prime is when it’s visibly worn out. Signs of wear can range from cracks or chips in the basin. The problem is that visible cracks will only worsen over time, so it’s a good sign that you should replace your sink once it’s damaged.
Constant Repairs
Another reason to consider replacing your old sink is if it requires constant repairs. Whether it’s persistent clogs or a faucet that drips no matter what you do, eventually spending more and more money to repair it stops making sense, and replacement is the better option.
Outdated Design
It wasn’t that long ago that pink, sky blue, and pea green were all the rage for kitchen and bathroom sinks. While your pink sink might still function, it’s not easy on the eyes, and it won’t win you any points when your neighbors come to visit. If you’re still rocking a pastel-colored sink, consider replacing it with a modern stainless steel design that’s easier to clean and better matches your decor.
Modern Technology
Lastly, consider upgrading your kitchen sink to a new model that supports smart home technology. Smart faucets work with home assistants like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit that respond to voice commands so you can tell it to dispense an exact amount of water. These smart faucets also have built-in technology to reduce your water usage to save you money on your water bills.
Bathroom Remodeling
Benefits of Remodeling Your Bathroom
If you’re like most homeowners, you have a never-ending list of repairs, upgrades, and remodeling projects on your to-do list. Building an ideal living space takes time, and most people do it one room at a time. One room that usually is the first on their list is the bathroom because it’s one of the most used, and fixtures wear out more quickly.
Let’s look at why bathroom renovation should be high on your home improvement priority list.
Adds Value
It’s a fact that most homebuyers pay particular attention to the home’s bathrooms, and some will actually pass on a home if they’re too outdated. If you’re not planning on staying in your house for long, it’s wise to update the bathroom to help maximize the sale price and attract buyers. And, if you are staying, upgrading the bathroom adds beauty and function.
Safety Upgrades
People who live in older homes often have unsafe bathrooms, especially if older residents live in the household. Upgrading the bathroom to add safety features like anti-slip flooring in the tub or shower, handrails, and upgrading outlets to GFCI receptacles go a long way to making your bathroom safer for everyone.
More Space
It’s easy for a bathroom to become small and cramped as your family grows, so remodeling is an excellent way to reclaim space and add storage options to keep clutter at bay.
The great thing about remodeling your bathroom is that it doesn’t have to be done at once if your budget doesn’t allow it; you can do a few things at a time, which makes it more cost-effective but still gets you closer to your goal.
Bathroom Tub Replacement
As mentioned, you don’t have to remodel your bathroom all at once; you can do it a fixture at a time if you like. Besides the bathroom sink, the tub is probably one of the most used in a typical bathroom, and depending on how old it is; it won’t take long to show signs of wear.
Because people rely on their bathtubs for relaxing and washing, it’s good to note signs that it might be time to replace them.
Mold and Mildew
Mold and mildew make your bathtub look disgusting; they also can cause health issues like respiratory problems if it gets out of hand. Sometimes, when mold and mildew get out of control, it’s better to replace your old bathtub instead of spending days trying to clean it.
Stains
You’re probably used to dealing with stains left behind if you live with hard water. Sometimes, stains become so embedded in the porcelain they’re nearly impossible to clean. Stains are unsightly, and they can carry loads of bacteria and germs.
Cracks and Leaks
Bathtub cracks are difficult to fix, and if they’re deep enough and leaking, the only thing you can do is replace the tub because repairs are typically a short-term fix. Most leaks are obvious — you see puddles around the base of the tub. However, some leaks are only identified by filling the tub and monitoring the water level over a few hours. Leaks will worsen and cause water damage and mold, and mildew growth.
Water Filtration
Water Filtration System Installation
Many people either don’t like the smell and taste of their tap water or think it’s unsafe to drink. And because of that, they spend hundreds of dollars a year on bottled water, which produces tons of plastic waste. If you’re one of those people, maybe it’s time to consider installing a whole home water filtration system.
Let’s look at some of the benefits.
Better Tasting Water
In most cases, the water you get from your municipal supplier is safe to drink, but water treatment plants use chemicals like chlorine to kill bacteria and other pathogens, which make the water taste funny; that’s why many homeowners use bottled water instead of drinking their tap water. Still, other homeowners have water with high mineral content, affecting taste.
Installing a water filter removes the offending chemicals and neutralizes the taste, making it more palatable.
You Have Old Plumbing
If your home was built before 1960, there’s a chance you have some lead or galvanized metal pipes. As we know, lead pipes are dangerous and should be replaced as soon as possible. However, you can protect yourself against lead poisoning by installing a multi-stage water filter.
Better Well Water
Many rural homeowners rely on well water as their primary water source. And while most private wells produce clean, healthy drinking water, the widespread use of pesticides and other chemicals has contaminated many private wells. Installing a reverse osmosis water filter goes a long way to removing pesticides, nitrates, toxins, and heavy metals from well water, making it healthier and safer.
Better Looking Clothes
Do your clothes look dingy and faded after only a few washes? The problem may not be your detergent but your water. Water with high mineral content causes clothes to fade more quickly; installing a water filter to remove the minerals results in brighter, longer-lasting clothes.
Reduced Stains
Another problem stemming from hard water is the stains it leaves behind in your sinks, tubs, and showers. If you’re sick of fighting the never-ending battle of scrubbing these stains away, consider installing a water filter to remove the minerals.
Our Reverse Osmosis Filtration Systems
Most experts agree that you should opt for a reverse osmosis system if you want the most effective home water filtration.
Reverse osmosis works by forcing unfiltered water through a semipermeable membrane to remove contaminants with fresh water coming out of your tap and brine as waste. Most reverse osmosis filters comprise three, four, or five stages, depending on your filtration needs.
Choosing a reverse osmosis filter is that you get a sediment filter to remove particles like dirt, dust, and rust; a carbon filter to reduce volatile organic compounds, such as chemicals; and a semipermeable membrane to remove the dissolved solids.
Reverse osmosis filters are effective at removing:
Fluoride
Salt
Sediment
Chlorine
Arsenic
Volatile organic compounds
Herbicides and pesticides
