Because as any resident in the Atlanta area knows, water is expensive. Why pay more than you have to?

- Water pressure in your home above 60 pounds per square inch is harmful to your plumbing system and will cause excessive water usage. Call us and we call install a pressure reducing valve.
- Check your water meter during a period of time when no water is being used. Make a note of the meter reading and check it 8 to 10 hours later. If the meter has moved, there is an indication that you may have an undetected water leak, which should be corrected.
- Replacing an old shower head can save up to 7.5 gallons of water per minute without sacrificing full spray action at low or high-water pressures.
