Moisture can also come from daily activities that use water, like bathing, washing clothes or cooking. Moisture accumulates within the home when there is not enough ventilation to expel that moisture.

A hygrometer can measure the relative humidity inside your Orlando home. Purchasing and using dehumidifiers can take care of most problems with excess humidity. You will definitely need dehumidification if your basement has flooded. Remove and/or replace all carpeting that has gotten soaked: these are mold breeders when wet. Once you dry out your basement, and you want to repaint it, be sure to use paint that has mold inhibitors.

High moisture levels are not just the result of flooding. Water can come from outside: the floor, walls or roof. It enters the building when there is a weakness or failure in the structure. It can also come in from leaks in your plumbing.

That’s where we at Michael’s can help. We can locate the leaks in your plumbing and fix them, affordably, quickly, and professionally. That means you can get busy dehumidifying the excess humidity that still remains.

So call Michael’s for more advice about your humidity problems, or to fix your Orlando home’s plumbing leaks, at 407-219-9772 today!

Sometimes the problems with your Orlando home’s hot water heater can be fixed easily. If your hot water is not as hot as you need, or you run out of hot water under normal conditions, it may be due to a fixable problem. Such as:

• The pilot light on your gas water heater flickers out.
• The circuit breaker for your electric heater trips.
• Your burner or heating element fails.
• Your thermostat breaks.
• Your valve sticks.

But if your hot water heater heater is more than ten years old, or if it starts to leak, it’s probably time to replace it. Here are the signs of a leak, or a potential for a leak:

Rust colored hot water.

Moisture around the base may signal a slow leak.

Puddles, or a flood in the area around the water heater.

Why do hot water heaters spring leaks? Over time, water minerals react with steel, corroding water heater tanks.

When water heaters spring a leak, it’s time to replace it.

On the upside, modern water heaters are far more energy-efficient than older models: saving your energy and money. The new models have foam insulation between the tank and its outer shell, enabling your new heater to hold on to heat much better.

And the new glass liners make tanks are less prone to corrosion: so your new unit should last much longer.

There are several reasons for installing and maintaining efficient bathroom plumbing in your Orlando home.

Many states in the U.S. are experiencing drought conditions. Florida is one of them, and the Central Florida region has been affected.

Your water heater requires energy. Sediment can build up and your pipes can clog up. That will decrease the efficiency of your water heater, whatever kind you have. Routine maintenance for your plumbing is an important part of maintaining optimal efficiency levels.

For the good of the planet, and for your own individual Orlando home energy bills, you can do the following to make your bathroom plumbing more efficient.

• Repair leaks
• Have your pipes regularly cleaned.
• Install low-flow faucets or dual-flush toilets,
• Lower the temperature on your hot water heater

Your Orlando city water system provides steady pressure to push your water out of the tap, shower, etc. When the pressure fails, because a water main bursts, pipes freeze, or high demand develops for water, pressure may be reduced, to permit contaminated water, including water polluted by chemicals, into the system. These hazards can be severe, and there are over 10,000 reported cases of backflow contamination each year: some of them fatal.

A backflow preventer reduces this risk of contamination to your home’s water supply. These devices are required to be tested each year by a certified backflow tester.

Michael’s Plumbing of Central Florida is certified and specializes in the testing and repair of all sizes and brands of devices. We specialize in testing, repairing and replacing all brands and models of backflow equipment.

Our Orlando plumbers will tell you that the easiest plumbing problem to solve is a leaking faucet. But many residents of Greater Orlando figure, “why bother? I can live with the drip, drip, drip, and fixing it will cost money.” But letting it go costs much more. Each leaky faucet in your house can waste $20 or more in water in a short time. And remember you’re also paying to heat that water before it drips out down the drain.

What’s more, though few expected it would happen, water shortages have come to Central Florida. By fixing that dripping faucet, you won’t just save yourself money: you’re serving your neighbors, friends, and the community. Wasted water causes all of us to suffer.

Michael’s has different options for heating your water, and we’ll work with you to determine what’s best for your home here in Orlando. The traditional water heater uses a water tank, heated with gas or electricity, which you might store in your basement, or even in your kitchen, so that you’ll have a reserve of hot water. The new “tankless” system uses high-powered burners to quickly heat water as it runs through a heat exchanger. So it takes up less space, and is actually more than 20% more energy efficient than the standard storage-tank model. If you’re concerned about the environment, and your own utility bills, and you have a roof that you can retrofit, you might want to consider supplementing your fuel-driven heating system with passive solar heating! The government—federal, state, and local—are always offering tax incentives that our experts can advise you about collecting if you go the green route!

Tank-less Hot Water System, or Standard Model?

Each system has its pros and cons. While you’re saving energy and space with the tankless water heater, it may require more care than the storage-tank system. So you need expert advice.

Speaking of care, whatever system you have, Michael’s Plumbing of Orlando is the right place for it. We can diagnose and repair all types of hot water heaters in no time to get you back up a running. If it is time for a new unit, let Michael’s Plumbing of Central Florida help properly size your unit and show you your energy efficient options.
