With the New Year’s upon us, many people think about the year ahead and what needs to be done to make improvements… in health, in career, and even in the home.

flow into the New YearIf you are thinking about how you will make improvements in your home this year, consider our ‘Handy’ tips to help you as you plan your home’s plumbing projects.

That’s right… you can make New Year’s resolutions for your home’s plumbing! Here’s how…

Chances are, you are already thinking about resolutions about your physical health and your financial health. Maybe you plan to eat healthier, exercise more, or ask your boss for that raise.

Given that your plumbing is integral to your home, which in turn affects both your physical and financial health, resolving to address any plumbing issues can significantly enhance your overall well-being, both physically and financially.

Your plumbing can play a crucial role in enhancing your health, particularly through the quality of your water. If your water contains impurities, chemicals, or unknown substances, it could undermine your efforts to eat well and exercise. Even with a healthy lifestyle, if you’re hydrating with subpar water, your body may still absorb harmful impurities. Therefore, as part of your health resolution, consider a plumbing-related commitment to installing a water filtration system, ensuring a cleaner and healthier water supply.

resolution: check your waters drinkabilityAnother area where your plumbing can affect your health is the potential hazard of sewer back-ups. Despite the overall comfort of your home, it’s crucial to be vigilant about the risk of water or sewage backing up into your living space. When that happens you run the risk of mold and dangerous bacteria remaining in your home, not only compromising your health but also incurring significant costs.

Additionally, the financial implications of your plumbing extend to your water heater: does it run efficiently, and is it heating enough water for you? Exploring options like a tankless system could potentially save you money by only heating the water necessary. At the very least, regular inspections and maintenance for your water heater are crucial to prevent the possibility of a burst, which could lead to a costly and inconvenient situation.

Lastly, here’s another financial incentive to include in your plumbing resolution this year: Have you considered upgrading your existing plumbing fixtures, such as installing a double sink in your kitchen or opting for a water-saver toilet? Perhaps you’re thinking about renovating your home, which is a perfect time to look at your existing plumbing and consider how you might benefit from upgrading it. For instance, if you have teenagers at home, the addition of a separate bathroom may be a preference worth considering.

Summary

At this time of year, you are probably making New Year’s resolutions for your health, finances, or some other area of your life. While you are thinking about those important areas, consider making PLUMBING resolutions too, since there are many ways that your plumbing can be upgraded to help you maintain or improve those other areas of life that you are thinking about right now.
