One big reason to change out your traditional water heater - in addition to utility costs saved by tankless and solar models - is avoiding what happens when a traditional water heater fails. That 40-60 gallons of water in the tank often spills out, creating a serious problem whether it's in your attic or elsewhere in your home.

If you are having problems with your septic system, do not rush to the hardware store to buy a chemical magic bullet. Their usefulness is suspect, they may damage the system, and many contain hazardous chemicals. A thorough systems inspection by a qualified plumber is the best first step.

During the 1800s and early 1900s, a lot of pipe was made out of lead, but that changed in the 1950s, and now most pipe is made out of copper. In fact, since 1963, around 28 billion feet of copper pipes have been installed, or about 5.3 million miles.
