Dual-flush toilets have mechanical valves with rubber seals in the cistern. These are used to allow water to flow when flushed. That rubber seal can deteriorate rapidly. They are also prone to be blocked by debris like porcelain or grit, causing the water to flow continuously.
Dual-Flush toilets have two buttons built into the cover of the water reserve. One is used to flush solid waste and the other to flush liquid waste. The biggest advantage of dual flush toilets is that they save around 67 percent of water used compared to regular toilets. The solid waste button uses 1.6 gallons to flush. The liquid waste uses 0.8 gallons or half the amount of water.

To fix a leaky faucet, check the faucet's washers and gaskets for wear. If you find that they are frayed, replace them.
Leaky faucets dripping at the rate of one drip per second will waste more than 3,000 gallons per year.

A common problem is a humming sound when a garbage disposal is clogged or jammed by an object. The disposal is still receiving power. Still, unfortunately, it is unable to grind food. You can try to fix it but make sure you have turned the unit off first. Just call R&R Plumbing to fix this problem and any other issues you have with your garbage disposal.
Yes. We recommend that you run the water the entire time that you have the disposal turned on. This will lubricate the disposal, help it grind your food, and flush it down the drain. This will eliminate the food from getting stuck and rotting in the disposal.
