A good water heater is worth its weight in gold.  Most water heaters have a 10 year lifespan, when combined with a water softener.  Columbia's hard water creates scale and sediment that reduces the life of your water heater.  Installation of a water softener helps preserve your water heater and also makes your showers and baths more enjoyable. 

A toilet that doesn’t work properly can use thousands of gallons of wasted water each year.  If you have a sudden jump in your water bill, check for running toilet.  A toilet repair will reduce your bill in  no time.

Up to eight glasses of water a day is the recommendation for adults to stay hydrated. Are you concerned about the quality of the water from your faucet? Do you buy bottled water?

A modest investment in your health will provide you and your family with healthy drinking water. 

Although chlorine has kept America's water supply safe for the past century, when it is used as a water treatment, it can form byproduct compounds called Trihalomethanes (THMs). New studies are raising concerns about consumption of THMs by drinking chlorinated water and other household uses of hot tap water such as showering and dish washing which are shown to result in even greater THM absorption than simply drinking the water. A chlorine filter will remove the THMs from your home and improve the quality of your water. 

Studies show kitchen or bathroom remodeling can help improve the value of your home.  According to US News and World Report even a minor kitchen remodel can yield an 82.7% return on your investment.

Number one tip: don’t use your garbage disposal for a trash can or you’ll be calling me often! Garbage disposals are useful for scraping small bits from your dishes but were not intended to be a garbage can in a sink. A better place for your potato peels and chunky food refuse is in a compost bin or your kitchen trash can.

While Boone County enjoys plentiful and good quality water, we have what is termed “hard water” or water that has a high mineral content. While hard water is not detrimental to health, it can interfere with long-term viability of water heaters due to sediment, and cause low suds when soap is added to water which decreases the ability to cleanse effectively. Water softeners can make a shower or bath a more pleasurable experience, as well as increase the efficiency of your washing machine and dishwashers and help you save on soap costs, as you’ll use less soap when a water softener is installed in your home.
