Are you having problems with a leaky faucet?<\/p>\n<p>Not only can fixing leaks save water, but it can also save you money and a bigger headache. EPA.gov states that an average household&#8217;s leaks can account for nearly 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year, and 10% of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day. If your faucet drips at the rate of one drip per second, it is estimated that this alone is more than 3,000 gallons of water. That amount of water translates to approximately 180+ showers! It is also estimated that fixing these leaks could save homeowners 10% on their water bills.<\/p>\n<p>So, what are you waiting for? Timing is vital, so be sure to give us a call to get this fixed today. If left unattended, a possible minor fix could lead into a bigger plumbing issue. Call KMB today, we can help!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kmbplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/faucet3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1155\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kmbplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/faucet3-300x251.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kmbplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/faucet3-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kmbplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/faucet3-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/www.kmbplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/faucet3.png 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fixing leaks saves water!
