Spring Plumbing Tips

Spring time is a great season to get caught up on plumbing maintenance and annual checks. There are a host of tips and tricks that you can use to ensure that your plumbing systems are in tip-top shape just in time for the blooming May flowers. The following are just a few ideas that Barner Murphy has come up with to keep your plumbing responsibilities easy and effective.

  1.  Check the bathroom and the kitchen for any plumbing problems. You can also do a quick check on your appliances and your equipment. An ounce of prevention is always worth a pound of cure.

  2. Do a thorough check on your gutters, downspouts and drains. These should always be free from debris for optimal functioning. In many parts of the country, spring time means heavy and frequent rains. If you aren’t prepared, you’ll be sure to find your hands full with cumbersome repair projects.

  3. Check your plumbing pipes and make sure that they haven’t become home to any creatures from the natural world. This can include bird nests, twigs and leaves, to name a few.

  4. Conduct a check on all of your faucets for potential leaks. If you don’t check for leaks you can find yourself with another time consuming repair job. Start by checking your sinks, and consider leaving a bowl under the faucet for an extended period of time to see if any water collects.

  5. Inspect toilet bowl tanks for any signs of leakage or cracking.

Bucks County Bathroom Remodeling

Are you a homeowner in the process of a bathroom remodel?  Maybe you’re getting ready for an upgrade, and need a professional eye to guide you through the process.  Barner Murphy proudly serves Bucks County, and specializes in professional plumbing services. We offer a complete remodeling service, and have been serving the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas with quality services since 1996. 

When it comes to home remodeling projects, bathroom upgrades continue to steal the show, and are becoming even more popular than kitchen renovations. With so many resources and choices out there, it’s no wonder that homeowners are enjoying the new bathroom trends.  Some of these trends are worth noting, and can be incorporated into your bathroom remodel in a way that adds style and flair.  Transitional and contemporary style bathrooms are getting more attention than traditional designs, and a few of the trends are noted below.

Focal points

Trends now suggest that focal points in the bathroom are popular.  The idea is to make an intentional effort to create a point for the eye to be drawn to when you walk in the bathroom. Some homeowners master this feat by installing walk-in showers and freestanding tubs.  There are many ways to incorporate a focal point into the remodeling process.  Color, hardware and vanities are all examples of possible focal points.

Modern metallics

Upgrading your bathroom hardware is an easy way to add visual appeal and style to any bathroom. Oil-rubbed bronze and brushed nickel are just two metals that come in appealing colors and textures, and seem to be some of the most popular options.  Updating faucets is another way to upgrade with style.

Heated floors

While heated floors might seem too luxurious for some homeowners, they can be a life-changing upgrade in colder climates.  What’s more, installing heated floors is a great option for those who are looking to add to the overall value of their home.  Heated floors can also help you save money by allowing you to keep the temperature in your home lower during the colder months of the year, without having to worry about their floors being cold.

Energy and water savers

Energy savers are also big in 2016 trends. Many companies are now designing efficient showerheads. Most are simple for the average homeowner to install and they come in a variety of styles. Some homeowners opt for low flow heads that doesn’t require a lot of water use. These types of showerheads are great for efforts toward going green.

Low-flow toilets

Low-flow toilets are also popular.  One of the most popular options is the Kohler dual flush toilet. There are two flush buttons, and one releases much less water when a small volume is needed. 

Touch-activated faucets

Touch-activated faucets are also big.  A touch faucet is easy to turn on with a wrist or forearm and because your hands are free, it cuts down on messes.  Also popular in 2016 trends is motion-activated lighting.  These lights turn on as soon as you step into the bathroom and turn off when you leave.

Bathroom Trends 2016

Barner Murphy offers professional plumbing services for Bucks County, New Jersey and surrounding areas. We’ve been in operation since 1996, and we pride ourselves on providing quality plumbing services for all of our customers. In addition to our quality plumbing services, we also offer a complete remodeling service, and customer satisfaction is guaranteed on all of our work. We pride ourselves on delivering quality work, and we also like our customers to know that we’re on top of all the current trends. The following are just a few of the top bathroom trends of 2016.

1.     Think color.
Maybe you’re looking to add a new bathroom to your home. Or maybe you’re looking to plan one for a future home. Whatever the case, building the best bathroom is all about incorporating your own unique style into the plan. The current trend for 2016 definitely points toward vibrant color schemes. In fact, many people are reflecting on the beige color trends from years gone by, and are thankful that they are over. That being said, more people are now zoning tiled areas on the floor as opposed to just laying tile on the entire surface. Current trends show people playing more creatively with grouting options, too. The idea is basically to explore and have fun without being afraid of adding too much color, or of trying unique patterns.

2.     Natural is in.
Many people are naturally drawn toward classic and simple designs when it comes to their homes. We like to feel safe and nurtured, and we enjoy aesthetics that speak to warmth and comfort. Working with natural materials gives you the option of including all of these qualities. The current bathroom trends suggest stone, marble and wood coloring because of their calming effects, as well as their organic textures. By incorporating natural color schemes and textures in your bathroom, you can achieve a sense of tranquility and comfort that reflects balance and contentment. Granite, soapstone and quartz are big because of their ability to soften hard edges. They also complement many of the woods that are popular in bathroom cabinetry.

3.     Think eco-friendly
Many homeowners nowadays are shifting toward more natural and eco-friendly materials. There are an ever growing number of options when it comes to designing an eco-friendly bathroom, such as stone-esque finishes, engineered quartz, and woods like cherry. You can even look for other eco-friendly material like glass ceramic tile, linoleum and bamboo for your project. Recycled glass, paper and concrete are other big favorites in the eco-friendly bathroom. In addition, on-demand tank-less water heaters, energy saving short-run hot water lines and low flow toilets that use rainwater that is recycled from roof run-off are just a few of the other trends seen for 2016.

4.     Re-think your Jacuzzi.
Nowadays, many bathroom remodel projects look to re-claim wasted space. People are trending toward a style that speaks to safety, comfort, practicality and style. With this in mind, it goes without saying that there’s been an overwhelming push to remove soaking tubs or whirlpools and replace them with larger showers. Years ago, builders incorporated soaking tubs and Jacuzzis into the corners of master bedrooms, but homeowners discovered that they rarely used them. The reality is that most people opt to take a shower over soaking in a bath, so installing the larger shower is simply more practical. Jacuzzi style tubs are also hard to install and waste a lot of energy, making larger showers a more sensible choice for many remodels. People are also discovering that they can re-create the same spa-like experience in a larger shower that they could in a tub with some of the sleek new showerheads and LED lights, for example.

5.    High-tech features are popular.
Programmable showers with digital temperature controls, as well as color-alternating LED lights are just a few of the new tech features that homeowners are looking for in their new bathrooms. Self-cleaning toilets, dual-flush toilets and touch-less toilets are growing in popularity, as well. MP3 faucets are even available, as well as steam showers with touchpad controls, surround sound and mirrors that turn into TVs at the touch of a button. Some homeowners are even opting for remote controlled bathtubs and toilets, as well as therapeutic elements like aromatherapy, chromatherapy and oxygen infused soaking tubs.

Laing Autocirc Pump

Are you a homeowner looking to find creative ways to conserve water and electricity? At Barner Murphy we understand that finding the highest quality plumbing products for your home without breaking the bank can be a challenge. That’s why we like to impart our knowledge with the community so you feel empowered to make the wisest choices for your home. One of our favorite recommendations is the Laing Autocirc Pump.

Circulating pumps are frequently used in the home to circulate hot water so that your faucets provide hot water upon demand. They are also installed so that you can receive hot water a short time after turning on the faucet. In areas where water conservation issues are prominent, these pumps are a hot commodity. What’s more - with the growing populations and increasing urbanizations, many local water authorities now offer rebates to homeowners who are willing to install these water-conserving pumps in their homes.

Are you wondering just how much water you can potentially save with a circulating pump? Consider this: In your average one-way plumbing system, no circulation pump is used. Instead, the water is just transported from the water heater through the pipes to the tap. When you turn off the tap, the water that is still inside the pipes cools off. We all know what it’s like to stand next to a faucet, letting the water run while waiting for it to get hot. 

When you install a circulating pipe, a small amount of hot water circulates through the pipes from the heater to the faucet that is furthest away. The end result is hot water in your pipes at all times, and no water is wasted by letting the faucet run for five minutes until you get the hot water you’re waiting for. At Barner Murphy, we carry the Laing Autocirc lead-free pump, which was designed with an efficient, permanent magnet motor specifically for potable water systems. 

This pump is controlled by a timer and thermostat, and has a built-in temperature sensor that turns the pump on automatically when the water temperature in the hot water supply line cools down to 89.6ºF. The pump also turns off automatically when the water temperature reaches 95ºF. This allows you to access warm water in seconds, and hot water shortly after. The Laing Circulating Pump also has an adjustable timer, an energy efficient ECM motor, and a six foot power cord.
