Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning says homeowners should observe National Water Quality Month by implementing eco-friendly plumbing solutions

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As a longtime leader in green plumbing innovation, the experts at Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning, a family-owned home service company serving Brooklyn and Manhattan since 1906, encourages homeowners to embrace eco-friendly plumbing practices as a way to conserve water and reduce utility bills.

"August is National Water Quality Month, so it's a perfect time for homeowners to learn how choosing an eco-friendly plumber can significantly improve your home's water quality and save you money in the process," said Michael Petri, owner of Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning. "The goal of green plumbing technology is to help our customers make informed decisions about their water use and plumbing purchases. By adopting sustainable practices, homeowners can boost efficiency while supporting their long-term financial goals."

Petri said that green plumbing:

• Enhances water quality: By using filtration systems and sustainable materials like PEX piping and reducing the use of chemical drain cleaners, homeowners can remove contaminants, prevent corroded pipes and refrain from contaminating other water sources. This results in cleaner and healthier water.
• Improves water efficiency: Switching to low-flow faucets and toilets, installing tankless or solar water heating systems, and implementing systems like rainwater harvesting and grey water recycling for non-potable purposes can save homeowners money. Low-flow toilets can save the average homeowner 13,000 gallons of water per year, resulting in an annual savings of about $170, while installing a single, 55-gallon rain barrel can save up to 1,300 gallons of water each year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
• Prevents leaks and reduces heat loss: Smart plumbing solutions, such as installing water leak detectors and properly insulating hot water pipes, can not only save money on utility costs but also protect homes from water damage and heat loss.

"Try to imagine life without easy access to clean water," Petri said. "Our lives would be totally different, and not for the better. It's up to us to do our part to reduce the amount of pollutants that get into our drinking water and consider the small things we do that negatively affect water quality. Don't just fix your leaks, fix your water quality and your water bill."
