The best way to keep small issues from becoming less manageable and more expensive is through regular preventative maintenance. At Brian Scroggins Plumbing, we offer affordable upkeep services where we inspect and clean key plumbing components, troubleshoot any damage or issues, and replace items that commonly experience wear and tear.

In addition to preventative maintenance, it's important for you to explore the different plumbing solution options for your home. Let us evaluate your home plumbing system to see if any of our common plumbing solutions can help you prevent future damage and keep your energy bills low. Here are some popular plumbing solution options:

Sump Pumps

Sump pumps, installed to prevent basement flooding, offer important protection to your home and finished rooms that often experience flooding. Whether it be the result of rain, melting snow, or seepage from the ground, a sump pump will collect excess water entering your home, store it, then when it reaches a certain level, move it away from your home.

There are various types of sizes of pumps available, including models with water or battery-powered backups for areas susceptible to power outages. If the lower levels of your home are at risk for flooding, the experts at Brian Scroggins Plumbing can help you evaluate your needs and find the right sump pump for your home.

Built-In Soap Dispensers

Another addition to consider having in your home is a built-in soap dispenser. Increasing in popularity as homeowners focus on convenience and eliminating clutter, these dispensers include a reservoir under the sink that you can refill from the top. Many homeowners find these useful in bathrooms and kitchens, where you can add a second dispenser for dish soap!

Whirlpool Baths

A whirlpool bath uses a pump or motor, an in-line heater, and pipes that use a suction method to circulate heated water and air through the jets at the tub's base. Whirlpool baths can be easily installed in many existing bathrooms with little or no remodeling at all.

If you think nothing is more rewarding after a long day than a nice bath, consider installing a whirlpool bath in your home with the help of Brian Scroggins Plumbing.

Instant Hot Water Dispensers

Instead of having to wait for the water to heat up when making tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or any other warm beverage, you can have an instant hot water dispenser installed. These units are installed out of sight, usually under the sink or counter, allowing for easily accessible water through a compact faucet mounted on your sink. 

Hot Water Recirculation Systems

If you live in a home with a high demand for hot water, but you don't want to constantly wait for your water heater, you may need a hot water recirculation system. The system consists of a small pump by the bottom of your water heater with a valve and a return line from your farthest water fixture.

This simple system allows hot water to recirculate, lowering the amount of time you'll be waiting for hot water. You can minimize the cost of such as system by using energy-efficient pumps and including a timer or thermostat to program the system to turn off depending on what time it is or by detecting ample hot water.

Anti-Scald Devices

The highest factory setting of water heaters considered safe is 120 degrees Fahrenheit. However, sometimes, in homes where hot water is in high demand, homeowners turn the temperature of their hot water heater well past this recommended safe temperature.

If you find that you use high temperatures of water, consider having an anti-scald device installed as an affordable way to protect yourself and those in your home from the risk of severe scalding. Some scalding facts to be aware of courtesy of Shriners Burn Hospital are:

• Hot water scalds account for 20% of all burns
• More than 2,000 American children are treated for scalds each year
• Scalding accidents occur most frequently in the bathrooms and kitchens where they are most preventable
• Scalding leads to additional injuries, such as heart attacks, shock, falls, and serious broken bones, particularly among the elderly
• Scalding and other burns require the most expensive treatments: long hospital stays, costly skin grafts, and plastic surgery
• Most U.S. states now mandate some form of anti-scald measures in building codes

Protect yourself and your loved ones from the risk of severe burns from scalding through the use of an anti-scald device. Call us today to learn more.

Water Filtration Systems

If you're concerned about the quality of your home's tap water, an under-sink water filtration system is something for you to consider. Enjoy purer, better-tasting water with an out-of-sight, low-maintenance filtration system. These systems work to remove chemicals, lead, sediment, chlorine, and other tastes and odors from your water supply.

Options for water filtration systems in your home can range anywhere from entire-home systems to a single filtration device that attaches to your kitchen sink and is tapped at a separate faucet. Regardless of the system you choose, water filtration devices can give you peace of mind about the quality of your water.

Pressure Balance Devices

Shower without the fear of hot water spikes by installing a pressure balance device on the hot and cold water feeds to the shower faucet. The spikes in water temperature are caused by changes in your water line pressure due to an outside source like someone flushing a toilet. Changes in pressure cause different volumes of hot and cold water to come out of the faucet.

Fortunately, a simple solution to this imbalance of pressure in the water lines is through the installation of a pressure balance device. This device forces the shower faucet to detect changes in pressure, automatically balancing it. Alternatively, you can replace the shower faucet with a pressure balance faucet.

Ultraviolet (UV) Water Systems

While it is commonly known that UV light is often used to help with sterilization and removing bacteria and viruses from hard surfaces and the air, many people don't realize that this also is an effective treatment for water.

The UV process disinfects water by removing microscopic traces of disease-causing bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, and protozoa common in water. This prevents the living organisms from reproducing, while other filtration systems only remove non-living contaminants.
