I hate wasting water when I run it for a while before the “hot” water comes out truly hot. Is there an easy fix for this?
Every day, people waste massive volumes of water running their showers or faucets waiting for the water to get hot. The most popular solution is the Grundfos Comfort System. The system can sometimes save a single household as much as 16,000 gallons of water per year! It uses a small pump and special fittings, which we install in certain places in your home, to get hot water quickly to your fixtures.
My kitchen and vanity supply lines occasionally still freeze, even though they're insulated. What can I do?
Cause: Your freezing problem may be a result of the following factors:
Usually the kitchen and vanity sink cabinets are against the exterior walls of the kitchen and bathroom. In the winter, those walls can conduct cold into the house, especially around the pipes.
Because the kitchen sink and bathroom vanity cabinet doors are kept closed, the ambient warm temperature of the house cannot offset the cold that is penetrating through the exterior wall …into the “unheated” cabinet space under the sink. The unheated cabinet space can literally dip below 32 degrees, causing the supply lines to freeze.
Solution: During extremely cold days, open the cabinet doors, and allow the heat in the room to counteract the cold that is penetrating through the exterior wall.
If your home has a history of water lines freezing it would be wise to install heat tape and insulate the water lines with pipe insulation. (For help with insulation or heat tape, call Bowers Plumbing, (316) 799-3212.
Another option (if you don’t mind wasting some water) is to allow faucets to drip continuously.
NOTE: A steady drip is just as effective as a running stream of water (because running water will not freeze), and that saves on your water bill.
How do I find the water shut-off valve for the house?
There are several locations possible for the water shut-off valve, that shuts off the water supply to your house. It depends mainly on what kind of foundation you have.
CONCRETE SLAB:
If your house is simply mounted on a concrete slab, with no space under it, the main shut-off valve is usually in a closet nearest to the water meter, OR next to the water heater location.
CRAWL SPACE:
If your house has a crawl space under it, the main shut-off valve is usually in the bedroom closet nearest to the water meter, OR just inside the crawl space opening, OR in the garage.
BASEMENT:
If your house has a basement under it, the main shut-off valve is usually at the foundation wall nearest to the water meter. If the location for your type of foundation isn’t the answer, try some of the other answers above. If you still can’t find it…:
Search the basement & garage.
Check the laundry/utility room.
Check around the water heater.
Search every closet and crawl space in the house.
Check around your porch & foundation.
Keep in mind that the shutoff valve may be covered by a panel, hatch or housing.
Additional shut-off valves for sections of your plumbing, or specific appliances, may be found around them. This typically includes the plumbing around the water heater, behind washing machines and dishwashers, under sinks and toilets, behind a panel in the wall on the opposite side of the wall from your tub or other bathroom fixtures (or in the basement directly under them), and near other major plumbing appliances. Remember that many appliances have TWO separate shut-off valves– one for hot water and one for cold water. Don’t wait for an emergency! When everything is OK, take a few minutes to find out where your shut-off valve is. In an emergency, knowing where it is can often enable you to prevent extensive damage to your home and belongings. Also locate the other shut-off valves, for future reference.

"Their service was excellent!"
I would recommend Bowers Plumbing. They scheduled us for repair right away. The technician wears booties over shoes, so there was no tracking on the floor. They repaired my toilet and left the area cleaned up. Plus we have a one-year warranty!

We had a Bosch dishwasher that we bought from Costco and they said they would install and they didn’t. We contacted Bower’s Plumbing and showed up on time and prepared. David the plumber was super nice and knowledgeable.

"We would choose them again and again!"
Andrew and Wyatt were wonderful!! Very polite and took the time to work with us and explain what to expect. This was an extremely dirty job and they worked very hard to make sure the dirt and dust did not enter the rest of the house.

"Robert was an awesome technician."
He took the time to discuss everything with my elderly father to ensure he understood it. Did a great job of keeping his work areas clean and dry while it was raining and even hauled off the old AC filter... much appreciated! I would recommend them!
