Do I need to worry about replacing the wax ring seal on my toilet?

The wax ring seal around your toilet keeps water from leaking out of the toilet as water moves from the bowl to the drain pipes. The wax rings usually last 20 years or more before beginning to break down. However, if you notice water beginning to pool around your toilet unexpectedly, you should inspect this wax ring seal part and look to replace it if it has signs of defect.

Should I use copper, PVC or PEX tubing for my plumbing solutions?

PEX tubing is generally a much better solution than copper for most, if not all, plumbing systems. PEX tubing is more resistant to failing or breaking as a result of freezing temperatures, and PEX is cheaper because it takes less labor to install. One of the few downsides to PEX tubing is that it is much more susceptible to damage from rodents. So if your application is in an area known to have rodent issues, we wouldn’t recommend PEX in that situation.

Why is irrigation important?

Proper irrigation keeps plants hydrated and maintains healthy soil during the dry summer months. It can also help protect plants from an early freeze and deter weed growth in warmer months.

What is the most efficient irrigation?

Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface. The goal is to place water directly into the root zone and avoid evaporation before the water has the opportunity to soak into the ground.
