1. Fix Leaky Faucets: Every Drop Counts

A dripping faucet might not seem like a big deal, but those little drips can add up fast. In fact, a faucet that drips once per second can waste over 3,000 gallons of water in a year! If you’ve been hearing that “drip, drip, drip,” it’s time to get it fixed.

Pro Tip: Leaky faucets are often easy to fix with a quick DIY repair. Replacing worn-out washers or O-rings can stop the drip and save you big bucks.

2. Install Low-Flow Fixtures: Less Water, Same Pressure

Low-flow faucets, showerheads, and toilets are designed to use less water without affecting performance. You’ll hardly notice the difference in your daily routine, but your water bill will thank you! Many modern fixtures even come with adjustable settings so you can control the flow rate as needed.

Pro Tip: Look for WaterSense-labeled products. These are certified to use at least 20% less water than standard fixtures without compromising performance.

3. Be Smart About Lawn Watering

In Columbus, we all know how important it is to keep our lawns looking lush and green, especially during the summer. But overwatering is a common mistake that leads to high water bills. Try watering your lawn early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation and ensure the water is absorbed by your grass.

Pro Tip: Consider installing a smart irrigation system that adjusts watering schedules based on weather conditions.

5. Shorten Your Showers to Lower Your Water Bill

We all love a long, relaxing shower, but cutting your shower time by just a few minutes can save gallons of water each day. Challenge yourself to shorten your showers, or try turning off the water while you lather up and shampoo.

Pro Tip: An average 10-minute shower uses around 25 gallons of water. Reducing that to 5 minutes could cut your water use in half!

6. Check for Hidden Leaks

Sometimes the biggest water wasters are the ones you don’t see. Hidden leaks in your pipes or appliances can waste thousands of gallons each year. To check for leaks, read your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter reading changes, you likely have a leak.


Pro Tip: If you suspect a hidden leak, call Drain King Plumbing! We can help you track it down and fix it before it turns into a bigger problem.
