Faucets are one of the most used plumbing features in your home. They add a decorative touch to your kitchens and baths, but their true beauty is in their effortless functionality. So, how do you choose the right faucets for your home? Start by choosing the best faucet your dollars can buy. Then hone in on these important features.

  • Material: A home with children or teenagers requires a bathroom faucet made from tough material. A foodie requires a sturdier kitchen faucet. Brass or stainless steel – select a faucet that fits the unique needs of your home and family. Choose the longest lasting, most corrosion resistant material you can afford to help keep your faucets as maintenance-free as possible.
  • Maintenance: Faucets are one of those items that shut down your kitchen or bath when not functioning properly. Choose faucets that are designed to be as low maintenance as possible. Breakdowns do happen, though so go for a model that has easy-to-find replacement parts when needed. Also, look for long water supply hoses that make it easier to use tools where needed.
  • Manufacturer: Manufacturer reliability and reputation should play an important role in faucet selection. Whether store brand or high-end, does the manufacturer stand by their product? Do they offer a customer satisfaction guarantee? Do they come highly recommended by the retailer? Take all these things into consideration.

Choosing a faucet means selecting from an array of designs and finishes. Whether you’re choosing budget-friendly faucets or splurging on the fixtures of your dreams, it’s going to be a key element in your home for years to come. Pick the faucet you love with the features you need and the finish that complements your décor. Need additional help? Call the pros at Brian Wear Plumbing today.

Is It Time to Upgrade Your Fixtures? Signs Your Plumbing Is Outdated

You know that feeling when you are lying in bed, the house is perfectly quiet, and then you hear it. Plink. Plink. Plink. It is the steady, rhythmic sound of a leaky bathroom faucet somewhere down the hall. Or perhaps you step into the shower to wash away a long day, only to be greeted by a sputtering, weak stream of water that barely rinses the shampoo out of your hair.

How Fast Does Mold Grow After Water Damage?

Imagine walking into your kitchen first thing in the morning, ready to brew a pot of coffee, only to hear the dreaded squish of a soaked rug beneath your slippers. You trace the puddle back to a leaky dishwasher, grab an armful of towels, and start furiously mopping up the mess. Water damage is incredibly stressful and overwhelming. Whether it comes from a burst pipe, a leaky roof, or a grumpy appliance, dealing with the immediate flood is only half the battle.

How Preventative Plumbing Maintenance Saves Columbia Homeowners Thousands

Plumbing emergencies never happen at a good time. It is always during the big game, at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday, or five minutes before your in-laws arrive for a weekend visit. You know that sinking feeling you get when you spot a puddle on the floor and realize it is not because someone spilled their water bottle. Whether it comes from a burst pipe, a grumpy sump pump, or a sneaky leak under the kitchen sink, finding water where it shouldn't be is incredibly stressful and overwhelming.
