William Gotelli Plumbing, Inc. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should I install a fire sprinkler?
A: "It’s a very good idea. A sprinkler reacts quickly, dramatically reducing the heat, flames and smoke produced in a fire. Properly installed and maintained, it can help save lives. It also keeps fire and smoke from ruining your possessions."
Q: Do you handle remodeling?
A: "Yes. We can help you with your kitchen or bath remodel, or with home additions."
Q: I have an old toilet, but it works fine. Should I replace it?
A: "It’s a good idea. An old toilet system can use three gallons of water per flush. New, water-efficient toilets use barely one gallon. Plus, replacing a single flush toilet with a dual flush system can save 10 percent of your daily water use."
Q: What about a new shower head?
A: "Standard shower heads use four to seven gallons of water per minute. Water-efficient shower heads use under two gallons. Over the course of a year, that could add up to saving nearly 4,000 gallons of water. Moreover, heating costs for a standard shower head are almost double that of a water-efficient one."
Q: I’ve heard about earthquake valves. Do they really work?
A: "Yes. After an earthquake hits, the biggest threat to life and property is fire. Earthquake valves shoot off fuel coming into your house following an earthquake, virtually eliminating the threat of fire due to leaks."
