Investing in plumbing upgrades offer several benefits to a homeowner:

- These upgrades add value to a home, making it easier and more profitable to sell.
- Upgrades to the plumbing fixtures can make your home feel more luxurious and welcoming
Touchless Faucets
Touchless faucets are no longer a luxury item. They are specifically designed to reduce water consumption and minimize the spread of germs. Worried about handling raw chicken? The touchless faucet allows you to wash your hands without contaminating the surface of the appliance. They also help to curb the spread of germs in the bathroom.
This can be one of the most valuable plumbing upgrades for your home. A sleek, compact, wall-mounted device will replace the bulky, energy-draining water tank.
A high-quality smart leak detection system monitors your pipes to detect anomalies— such as water pressure changes— that could indicate a leak. Smart leak detectors add value to any home, but they’re particularly useful for people who travel often or own multiple properties. If you own a short-term rental property or seasonal cottage, having a smart leak detection system in place could prevent a cosly disaster.
Modern toilets with dual flushing systems and aerator faucets are designed to curb water consumption. This can save you hundreds (if not thousands) of gallons of water each year. Investing in these upgrades will reflect savings on your water bill and may be eligible for rebates.
