Wet Wipes are Plaguing Our New York City Sewer Systems

According to a recent article in The New York Times titled, "The Wet Wipes Box Says Flush, but the New York City Sewer System Says Don't," New York City is working to combat the destruction wets wipes in plumbing networks cause.

Wet wipes, originally used for baby care, are now growing popular with adults and becoming increasingly present in worldwide sewer systems. The problem, however, is that the box says flushable but the truth is they're indestructible. Combined with congealed grease and other sewage materials, the city is left spending an enormous amount of money mechanically collecting solid waste for disposal.

Public awareness is in the works - with the intent to spread the importance of throwing "flushable" wipes in the trash.

Are you one of the many consumers mislead by the improper labeling? Help educate others on how destructive these little guys can be. For the complete story, click here »

World Plumbing Day 2015: 3 Reasons Plumbing is Important to Us

World Plumbing Day is less about celebrating our pipes, toilets and sinks, and more about celebrating the plumbing industry and how it's innovations have allowed our communities to grow and live out healthy and sustainable lives. Whether you have already upgraded to water-efficient plumbing fixtures or not, the technology is there and available - which is something to celebrate.

Water efficiency = energy savings. The connection between energy and water is often overlooked, yet such an important relationship to understand. The less water we use, the less water we need to heat, which enables us to save in multiple facets of our home living costs. 

Plumbing brings comfort into our lives. We often forget to be grateful for the lifestyle plumbing provides. Developing countries without access to clean water are missing one major system and that system is plumbing. From edible meals to soothing baths, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the luxuries we do without plumbing. 

It has extended our life expectancy. It's true - more than any other medical advancement, drinkable water has directly lead to longer lives. Without it, we would have increased exposure to deadly and life threatening diseases. 

What parts of plumbing are you thankful for this World Plumbing Day? Visit us on Facebook and let us know #WhyPlumbingMatters to you!

Get the Lowdown on Household Plumbing Leaks

With World Plumbing Day this Wednesday and Fix a Leak Week quickly approaching, let's take a moment to divulge into those ever so frustrating and always so sneaky plumbing leaks!

As a homeowner you probably know leaks waste water, money and (when it comes to fixing them) your time, but here's a few important things you might not know:

In the U.S. alone, plumbing leaks are responsible for over $6 billion worth of property damage each year! How much of that is your share of expenses?

Mold and damage to your home's foundation are two unfortunate side effects of undetected leaks. Make sure to check frequently to avoid this.

A portion of the cost to repair a leak is usually covered by homeowner's insurance. That means your paying less than $300 out of pocket to find and repair leaks as opposed to the thousands further damage could cost.

Exceptionally high water bills are a tell tale sign of a home water leak. Double check with your water company, but this may may be an indication that it's time to call a plumber.

Always have a house checked for leaks before purchasing it. The minute you sign the dotted line those leaks become your problem and can cause unexpected property damage you didn't think you were buying into.

At Nassau County Plumbing & Sewer Rooter we handle everything from leaky pipes to ceiling leaks and new toilet and sink installations. If you suspect there might be a costly leak in your home, give us a call at 516.874.7937 or visit our website for more information.

A Few Savvy Ways to Save on Electric

Sick and tired of one high electric bill after another? With winter weather as cold as this, we're not surprised that you're utilizing a little extra power to keep your toes feeling toasty and warm.

No reason to sacrifice cost for comfort. We have a few savvy ways you can save on electric:

Run appliances at night. Utility companies tend to charge higher rates during the day time because they know most people are about and awake. Therefore, you'll be able to save by running the washer machine at night. You can also confirm with your local utility company what their on and off peak hours are.

Try a light roof color. It's true! Home's with darker roofs spend almost 20% more in air conditioning charges than homes with lighter roofs. This is especially true in warm and sunny weather.

Replace filters. Dirty and old filters make your furnace work much harder than it has to, and trust us - your furnace is not the one paying for it.

Insulate properly. It only takes one air leak or improperly insulated area to let an abundance of hot or cold air into your home. To avoid paying double for your HVAC systems, take the time to weatherstrip and insulate accordingly.

There's an app for that! Want more personalized ways you can slash electric costs in your home? Apps, such as Bidgely, are available to help you find ways to save.

Mad you didn't think of these before we did? Don't be! That's what we're here for.
