PLUMBING MATH // VOL. 2: Is your toilet running?

Remember that classic childhood prank call? It turns out as an adult, the joke is your utility bill.

If your toilet is constantly "running" because you have a faulty flapper valve or have to shake the handle to make it stop, it’s actively escaping with your hard-earned money.

A single leaking toilet can quietly drop up to 750 litres of treated water straight down the drain every single day. Look at the breakdown in the graphic above—if you need help catching that leak before it drains your wallet, you know who to call!

PLUMBING MATH // VOL. 1: The Cost of a Drip

That tiny, rhythmic leak in your spare bathroom or kitchen sink might seem easy to ignore, but the math adds up faster than you think.

A single faucet dripping just once per second wastes over 11,000 litres of treated water every single year. That’s not just a drain on the environment—it’s money straight out of your pocket.

Meet Matt!

For Matt, there’s nothing better than a hands-on project.
As an expert technician, Matt specializes in plumbing, HVAC, and gas line installations. He loves the satisfaction of giving an upgrade to your existing setup or starting fresh from a blank canvas to create a fully functional finished product.

But life isn’t all work and no play! When he’s not on an Alpha job site, you can usually find Matt perfecting his swing on the golf course, cruising around town for a good drive, or relaxing and spending quality time with his wife.

We’re lucky to have his installation expertise on our crew. Need an upgrade? Drop us a DM and let Matt handle it for you
