PETE’S PLUMBING INC. HELPS HOMEOWNERS AND BUSINESSES CONSERVE WATER DURING SUMMER MONTHS

Residential and Business Customers Enjoy Benefits of Water Conservation

Pete’s Plumbing Inc., a family-owned and operated full-service residential and commercial plumbing company that serves Alpharetta, Georgia and nearby areas, is providing homeowners and business owners with water conservation solutions that tread lightly on both the earth and customers’ budgets.

Increased water usage goes hand in hand with rising temperatures during the summer season. Homeowners and business owners realize this is the opportune time to find ways to conserve water but often are not sure what steps to take. Pete’s Plumbing works in partnership with local business and residential customers to help them reduce water usage and, as a result, lower their water bills. In addition, Pete’s Plumbing provides customers with the option of a full line of green plumbing solutions.

One of the most effective tools at Pete’s Plumbing’s disposal is the water usage survey. This survey takes into consideration how water is used and in what amount. The results of the survey make it easy to pinpoint specific problems, allowing the licensed and bonded home inspectors and plumbing technicians to suggest specific fixes and upgrades. Another resource Pete’s Plumbing offers customers is a frequently updated blog packed with helpful tips and suggestions for water conservation and usage reduction. The blog also provides links to websites with additional conservation methods and techniques, such as Conserve Water Georgia, the EPA’s Water Sense Program, and top water company, American Water.

“Almost everyone is aware of basic conservation methods, such as turning off the faucet when you’re brushing your teeth and using a broom to clean outdoors instead of a hose,” stated Julie Lippitt, President of Pete’s Plumbing. “What people might not be aware of is how easy it is to do so much more. Our plumbing professionals are trained to identify exactly what areas need improving and the best ways to do so, both indoors and out. Water-conserving upgrades are available not just for faucets and shower heads, but they are also can be found for toilets, water heaters, and irrigation systems.”

Lippitt continued, “An important aspect of water conservation is making sure your existing plumbing and fixtures are free of leaks and in good repair. Something as simple as fixing a leaky faucet can reduce water usage, reduce costs, and help maximize the amount of available potable water. Less water usage also leads to a lower amount of runoff, which can actually aid in the reduction of water and land pollution. In this way, conserving water benefits both our customers and the environment.”
