A higher-than-usual water bill is often your home’s way of signaling that something is wrong. Sometimes the cause is obvious. Other times the issue is a leak that has gone unnoticed. Swipe for more information on how leaks can drive up your water bill.

If your water bill suddenly spikes and your usage habits have not changed, it is worth taking a closer look before the problem gets worse. Contact our office to have your plumbing checked and catch small leaks before they turn into bigger repairs and bigger bills.

We mean it when we say no job is too small.

Some plumbers only perk up for a full repipe or a big remodel. We are just as happy to swap a worn shut-off valve, replace the faucet you have been eyeing for months, or quiet the toilet that never quite stops running. Those quick calls are a real part of what we do, not an inconvenience we squeeze in.

Do not talk yourself out of calling over something minor. See everything we help with at modernplumbers.com.

One drip per second may look harmless, but it adds up to more than 3,000 gallons of wasted water in a year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

That slow tap-tap-tap you have learned to tune out is almost always something small underneath: a worn washer, a failing cartridge, or a connection that has worked itself loose. Kitchen faucets tend to go first from sheer daily use, while a bathroom one can drip for months before anyone bothers to mention it.

Luckily, these are usually quick, inexpensive fixes. Address these minor repairs now by booking a repair at modernplumbers.com.

Your toilet could be wasting more water than a garden hose left running, and you might not hear a thing.

According to the EPA, a toilet that never fully shuts off can quietly send 200 gallons or more down the drain every day. This shows up fast on your city water statements, especially during our dry summer stretches.

The usual cause? A worn, inexpensive flapper, which usually only takes a few minutes to swap.

If your bill crept up this summer or you hear the tank refilling on its own, call us at 406-212-7737 or visit modernplumbers.com, and we will help you track it down.

Late summer evenings on the patio and cool fall nights around the fire pit are a lot more enjoyable when everything is already in place and working safely.

If you've been thinking about adding a gas line for a grill, patio heater, or outdoor fireplace, mid-summer is the right time to plan it. Getting it done now means you won't be scrambling when the temperatures start to drop.

Outdoor gas work is a job for a licensed professional, and we're here to make the process stress-free. Call Modern Plumbing and Heating at (406) 212-7737 or send us a note at [email protected] to start the conversation.

For property managers and owners, the gap between tenants is the most valuable time you have. It’s the only chance to perform essential plumbing upgrades without coordinating around a tenant or risking an emergency call during a new lease.

Proactive maintenance protects your investment and keeps things running smoothly when it matters most. Give the Modern Plumbing and Heating crew a call at (406) 212-7737 or send us a note at [email protected] to talk through what your properties might need.
