Plumbing Tips & Tricks

Summer 2008

Conserve Water this Summer

• Check for toilet tanks leaks by adding food colouring to the tank. If the toilet is leaking colour will appear in the bowl within 30 minutes. Check the toilet for worn, bent or corroded parts. Flush as soon as test is done as colouring could stain the tank.
• Repair leaking faucets. If your faucet is dripping at the rate of one drip per second you can expect to waste 2,700 gallons of water per year.
• Avoid flushing toilets unnecessarily. Dispose of tissues, insects and other such waste in the trash rather than the toilet.
• Spend less time showering. Replace shower heads with water-saving models and drastically reduce water used.
• Replace older high consumption toilets with new ultra low flush models and save up to 2/3 of water per flush.
• Consider upgrading your older water softener. New models can save water at rates up to 70% on water, sewage and salt.
• Change older faucet aerators to new water saving aerators.
• Avoid running the faucet continuously while brushing teeth or shaving.
• Be sure to set your clothes washer for the size of load you are washing and try to wash full loads.

Testimonials

"When we moved into our home 10 years ago we discovered we were in need of a plumber.  Having plumbing done in your home is a tough job, but finding a good plumber is even tougher! As we perused the yellow pages we discovered Lodder Brother's very attractive ad and gave them a call.  From the moment we placed our first phone call, Lodder Brothers has exceeded our expectations.

Their friendly, polite, knowledgeable and competent staff has continued to exhibit professionalism and exemplary customer care that goes well beyond that of a normal company in this day where customer service is a thing of the past.  Their punctual, organized and easy to work with staff arrives at each service call in a well maintained truck wearing neat clean uniforms and shoe covers that helps to protect the flooring of the customer's home.  All of the products they have provided have been of superior quality and the guarantee that comes with each product is second to none.

It has been a real pleasure to deal with such a great team that goes the extra mile because they care about their customers.  Your company has been our choice for over 10 years now and will continue to be!  Thanks again to Dan and his team. You feel like part of the family!"

"When their service call is finished - they have left the 'Pipes' clean and in working order!!!"

"Lodder Brothers has been our choice to service our needs for the last ten years because of the professional service they provide and their responsiveness when the service is required.  We have used Lodder Brothers for everyday type service requirements and for major installations such as soft water and reverse osmosis units.  The service technicians are always courteous and professional when they are at our home and they always leave the house neat and tidy once they have completed their work.  Once a price had been quoted for a particular job they have always completed the work for the agreed price even when problems arose.  We would recommend Lodder Brothers to anyone requiring their service without hesitation."
