Most people complain that although they don’t use water in their homes so much, their bills are usually high. Some times they even suspect water leak. This is a growing problem and hence, there is a growing need to critically analyze why this happens, and what measures can be taken to ensure your bill is low, according to your hopes and expectations.

Bad habits related to home water

Do you ever see yourself brushing your teeth, with the tap water running? Or perhaps you regularly forget to turn off your taps, showers or valves? Or maybe the water tank is usually over-flowing? If not any of these, there could be other reasons why you are wasting too much water per day. This wastage could be the reason for your skyrocketing bill. It is best to have a look around the house for your water usage, you may find something.

Indoor Water Leaks

Usually when there is a high water-bill, probability is high that some of your taps, showers, faucets and valves, sprinkles or piper in general are leaking. We tend to ignore such leaks because all we can see is a few drops falling down. But the thing to consider is, if a drop keeps falling, eventually you will get for yourself a river. Hence, we should underestimate these small leaks and get them fixed on a timely basis.

Outdoor Leaks & Slab Leaks

Make sure to check the water line that goes from the meter into your home. That line may have a leak out of which water constantly drips off, that eventually may lead you to having an exceptionally high water-bill.

However, in the case of such outdoor leaks just detecting and fixing the line would not be enough. Precautionary measures must be taken to further prevent it from happening again. That is because this is usually way out of our control, and it may be caused by rowdy pedestrians, cyclists, stray animals or other various kinds of commotions.

Why are they needed at home?

Fire sprinkler systems are usually installed in commercial buildings and offices. Houses have little to no initiatives to prevent fires in most cases. At best, people may own a fire extinguisher in their homes to put out fire when the need arises. However, experts are suggesting that Fire Sprinklers are important for residential houses too. In fact, they hold benefits above many other precautionary means.

Time & Cost Effective

If fire bursts out at a particular area, it will take time to get a fire extinguisher or a hose to put it out. This time spent can cost a lot of financial damages. The same goes for calling fire extinguisher service. However, when it comes to the sprinkler it activates almost instantaneously and puts out fire quickly. That means less time spent on putting out fire and your precious items remain safe.

Safety of Family Ensured

Family is the most treasured part of one’s life. Usually people are forced to leave their children at home to attend to an important matter. And on the other hand, children are mostly not aware enough about house fires. By the time they realize it’s something serious, it’s probably too late. Automatic system is the best for such a situation. Even if children are not aware of the seriousness of the matter, their safety is pretty much ensured.

Less Damage

Automated System

Although discussed above, it is worth mentioning that sprinklers are the only system that is triggered automatically, making it safer, more effective. It senses the temperature and determines using the result if there’s fire or not. Although it has a downside: you can’t artificially induce high-temperatures, for certain activities. But in a way it is also a benefit: people will avoid anything that has a potential to spread fire.

Final Thoughts
