GET GREENER PLUMBING, TODAY You may be greening up your cleaning products or your eating habits, but have you stopped to consider your plumbing? Read the following green plumbing tips, and reach out to your local, trusted plumber to help implement them.
INSULATE WATER PIPES. Heating water for homes can account for as much as 30 percent of residential energy consumption. By insulating the pipes and using high-grade pipe insulation, it can lower the energy expenditure needed to heat your water. Your plumber can install insulation on your pipes and save you money in the process. INSTALL WATER SAVING FEATURES. In older homes, plumbing features such as faucets, showerheads and toilets are as historic as the homes themselves. By replacing these dated units with modern, energy-efficient counterparts, you can reduce leaks, conserve water and reduce your energy bill. • Newer and more efficient toilets can cut down the amount of water used by as much as 80 percent. A low-flow toilet only uses 1.28 gallons of water per flush, whereas a full-flow toilet uses 3.5 gallons per flush. A dual-flush toilet uses only 1.6 gallons for solid waste and only 0.8 gallons for liquid waste. A

newer toilet can translate to a potential savings of 10,000 gallons of water each year. Newer toilets essentially pay for themselves, so get your plumber to install one today. • Install a tankless water heater, which uses much less energy than a standard water heater. Instead of wasting energy keeping a huge reservoir of hot water at all times, a tankless water heater heats the water only as it is needed. • Replacing a traditional showerhead with a low-flow showerhead will reduce the traditional water usage by around 50-70 percent. The homeowner can also get their plumber to install an even greener shower product, the steam shower. While traditional showers use 25 gallons of water per shower, a steam shower uses around 1 gallon of water per shower.
INSPECT YOUR HOME PLUMBING FOR LEAKS. Detecting leaks can be a difficult task, and in some cases, small leaks can be unnoticeable to an untrained homeowner. Hire a professional to help you hunt down hard to spot leaks. Contact your plumber today, and together you can implement these tips to save money and the environment. Your plumber might also have additional green plumbing solutions they can bring to your home.

HOW TO
While spiders and bugs are part of a natural ecosystem, when they invade your home, they’re often less than welcome. If you suspect something crawly is moving in, consider the following advice:
Caulking can go a long way to shoo bugs away. Seal tiny cracks and holes near your doors and windows and along baseboards with a strong tape that can be found at your local hardware store. Store food in airtight containers (or keep it in the refrigerator). This is especially true for grains and sweets. In addition, be sure to clean up after you cook so that there are no crumbs around to tempt bugs.
compost piles and yard waste. Never stack firewood against your home for the same reason. Be aware of Federal laws that dictate that insecticidal products be registered. Guidelines allow the Environmental Protection Agency to evaluate a pesticide’s chemical toxicity to humans, pets and other organisms, as well as the pesticide’s environmental risks.
Follow instructions on product labels. In addition to always using the appropriate dose, take care to use the correct product for the job at hand. For instance, a pesticide registered for agricultural use wouldn’t be appropriate to use indoors. And for those seeking a pesticide that doesn’t remain in the environment for Keep your yard free of debris. This will very long, a product containing essengo a long way toward ensuring that pests tial oils should be considered. don’t find shelter in your firewood stacks, Reduce clutter. Not only is clutter a nuisance, it can also provide shelter for insects. In addition to getting rid of clutter, take the time to clean kitchen and bathtub drains, as they can be another breeding place.

Here are more specifics about certain types of pests to guide you. Mosquitoes. Not only are mosquitoes incredibly annoying as they buzz about—and bite—but they can transmit serious pathogens that cause diseases like Zika and West Nile viruses. Eliminate all sources of standing or stagnant water. Empty and replace water in planters, bird baths and pet dishes. Keep other water-prone areas like gutters clear. Finally, set up a perimeter around your home that you’ll spray to keep insects away during spring and summer months.
Termites. Keep the area under and around your house free from wood debris, above and below ground. Stack firewood away from the house and off the ground. Damp soil also puts your home at risk, as termites prefer moist soil. If you find termites in your yard, use a termite killer. If they manage to infest your home, call a professional to assess the damage, identify the termite species responsible, and eliminate the colony. Ants. Not only can ants cause structural damage to your home, they can also be a nuisance and crawl inside in search of food. Ants tend to follow trails along the perimeter of the home (baseboards, the edges of countertops), and can use wires and pipes as a highway system within walls. Follow their trails to find and treat the nest. Like cockroaches, baits are also an effective strategy for killing ants.
Bed bugs. These pests are very hard to eliminate from the home. Treatment typically requires a multi-pronged approach including mechanical and chemical control, as well as preventative measures that help avoid a re-infestation. When traveling, make sure to check your luggage and clothes, as bed bugs are known to hitch a ride with you back home. Never put a suitcase on the bed in a hotel, just in case. Houseflies. Flies are also a major carrier of more than 100 disease-causing Cockroaches.

keeping your home
” Stage
Ready
By Julie Achtermeier
It’s not uncommon to scramble and stress when it’s time to put your house on the market. All those little jobs and fixes that never got done are now an overwhelming list of “to dos.” Don’t let the tasks pile up.
By making simple updates now, you can better enjoy your home while it’s still very much your home, and it will be ready to show when it’s time to list. Here are some inexpensive ways to give your home a staged appearance every day:
Complete unfinished jobs We all have that list of nagging little fixes that we haven’t gotten around to yet. These often include minor repairs like replacing light fixtures, repairing baseboards or painting trim. To get started, grab a notepad and wander from room to room making a list of any unfinished jobs you can tackle quickly to bring your rooms up to snuff. Update your door handles and knobs
Replace door handles and knobs with styles and colours that are current. Shiny gold door knobs are no longer fashionable and are not unlikely to come back in anytime soon. Update an entire floor with a brushed nickel or pewter look which is very trendy and can go a long way to updating your space. Likewise, update faded or scratched cabinet knobs and handles in your kitchen for a fresh new look.

Declutter, declutter, declutter There’s a great deal of psychology that suggests a cluttered house leads to a cluttered mind, but it can be difficult to know where to start. Before tackling bigger jobs, adopt the mantra “every item needs a home.” In other words, if magazines don’t have a rack to file into, they will remain cluttered on your coffee table. Craft items without a bin will remain scattered across your dining room table. Pick an area and determine where items should go. Then invest in bins, baskets or a cupboard and put away the items you use regularly. Throw out old papers and knick-knacks that serve no purpose, file bills and important papers and find a home for anything you want to keep. Get in the habit of putting things “in their home” instead of leaving them on the counter or kitchen table.
Easy decorating It’s easier than ever to find cost-effective accent pieces to update a tired room. For about $100, you can change throw pillows, add a new piece of wall art or find a seasonal tablecloth. For a simple bathroom update, replace the builder’s mirror with a pretty framed one and add new designer towel racks. A simple change can spruce up your home, and your mood. Spruce up the outside With many of us having busy schedules and constantly running in and out, it’s not uncommon to overlook the state of the outside of our homes. Simple tasks like adding a new welcome mat, pruning shrubs and keeping a seasonal arrangement in an urn by the front door are quick ways to enhance your curb appeal.
