How would you feel if a stranger entered your home to do their laundry, take a shower or use your dishwasher several times a week on your dime? Having a leak is like giving water (and money) away. Don’t let leaks drain your bank account! Mark your calendar for March 16-22, National “Fix-A-Leak-Week.”

The average U.S. family household leaks waste 10,000 gallons of water per year. That’s the equivalent to 270 loads of laundry! 10% of American homes have leaks that waste up to 90 gallons of water a DAY. Is your home one of them? Does your water meter show usage after a 2-hour period when no water is being used? Walk around and look for the culprits! A faucet that leaks one drip per second uses enough water for 180 showers. A showerhead leaking at 10 drips per minute equals 60 dishwasher loads! Some leaky toilets are completely silent. Put a drop of food coloring in your toilet tank and if the color shows up in the bowl within 15 minutes with no flushing, you have proof of a leak!

If you DO find a leak on your Fix-A-Leak-Week walk-through this year, don’t panic…just call Alan’s Plumbing. Every time you call, you’ll be helped by Alan Burkhalter, his brother Chris Burkhalter, his wife Jennifer (on the phone), and their sons Luke and Beau. Is the problem one of your faucets? Alan says, “Almost all faucets come with lifetime warranties (on the part, not the labor) from the manufacturer. Send us a quick phone snapshot of your faucet so we can identify your brand for you. You’ll save money on the part and I’ll save time fixing it…and stopping that leak will save you money!”

As a small business owner and the father of three sons, Alan believes in keeping an eye on your bottom line. Choosing a family-owned and operated company keeps your costs low and your money local, and you’ll get great service from folks you can trust to stop those leaks from draining your bank account!
