Why is Water Conservation Important?

April 26, 2019
All Posts

Our licensed plumbers care about water conservation which saves water and saves you money. Serving Northern NJ.

As we enter into the warmer months of the year, water conservation grows in importance. Many of us take for granted the fact that we have flushing toilets and hot showers in our homes. However, there are still many places in the world where this is not available. The lack of basic sanitary and plumbing systems have a huge impact on a community’s health and environment.

Did you know…?

2.1 billion (or 3 in 10 people) lack access to safe, readily available water
4.5 billion (or 6 in 10 people) do not have toilets in their home
More than 1 billion people gained access to piped supplies between 2000 and 2015
361,000 children under the age of 5 die each year due to water born diarrhea from water contamination

The importance of using water efficiently and responsibly can not be overstated. Water is a requirement of all life, and all life on the planet depends on it. Unfortunately, water is a limited resource. Less than 1% of the water on Earth is available for use by people. It is crucial to maintain this supply for the survival of humanity.

As water conservation becomes more important, we need to learn more about how to achieve and maintain plumbing efficiency. Properly installed and maintained sewer systems are a vital part to a home’s success in conserving water. In addition to reducing the cost of your utility bill, water conservation also helps to prevent pollution in nearby lakes, rivers and local watersheds.

Some simple ways to conserve water…

Check all pipes, faucets and toilets for leaks https://zeekplumbing.com/why-you-should-fix-a-leaky-faucet-promptly/
Use small amounts of biodegradable soaps and detergents
Turn off the water while you are brushing your teeth
Reduce your shower time and switch to a low-flow showerhead
Ensure the setting on your water heater is not above 120 degrees fahrenheit
In order to to prevent water from evaporating so quickly due to the high temperatures, invest in a high quality pool cover

Conserving water should be part of everyday family practice. Should you have any questions or need help upgrading to more energy efficient fixtures, please contact Zeek Plumbing at 866-635-0200.

Tim from Zeek plumbing was fantastic! I had a leak in my basement and called Zeek and Tim came over the same day. He was courteous, neat and very professional. I will be sure to call them again should the need arise. I would highly recommend Tim and Zeek plumbing.

Needed rush service today and Zeek was able to deliver. Bill and Rich both got to the root of our leak and were able to fix it. Great service with great guys!!!

Zeek plumbing was great to work with when we were redoing our half bath. They actually rescued us from another plumber who left us mid-job. They were honest about when they would be able to come and arrived on time. They were very respectful towards me and checked in with me along the way about the progression of the job. They installed a sink and toilet and when we realized the toilet did’t have a seat, they went out and got one and came right back. They aren’t cheap but they do a really good job. They even came back a third time the same day when I called to tell them that the sink looked slightly crooked and they fixed it right away. I would definitely recommend them to a friend.

Carol L.

Excellent service! Had a problem with shower drain. Technician came and resolved within an hour, also tested for leaks. Courteous, respectful, normal, and offered decent pricing quotes on toilet installation. Local business that cares about quality of work and happy customers. Will definitely be using them in the future.

Angel & Oliver came yesterday to fix a clogged sink drain. They were so considerate of my napping 4-year-old grandson that the slept through their entire visit. They took care of the job quickly (and quietly), and worked extremely cleanly. I was quite impressed with their professionalism, their friendliness, and their consideration about nap-time. I highly recommend them.

I have used Zeek plumbing for over 15 years for all my plumbing needs. For my primary residence and rental properties. Most recently for a broken hot water heater, which they had replaced in the same day. Their fast, friendly and sense of humor is a pure pleasure to work with. On the rare occasion that they can't come on the day I call, I would prefer to wait for them as I know they will always do the job right! You would be lucky to have them in your home!

Big ups to Zeek Plumbing. Just had a terrific first class experience with one of Zeek’s highly knowledgeable and professional Tech’s Tim. I Was having issues with my hot water heater lighting. Tim quickly identified the problem and swiftly made the repairs, and all this on a late Saturday afternoon none the less. Other highly rated plumbing companies that advertise emergency 24 hour service wouldn’t even give me a call back, I would like to thank them for not returning my calls and sending my business to Zeek. I will be calling them for all future needs, Thanks!
