Shower vs Bath: Which Uses More Water? For people trying to cut household water use—and lower energy costs tied to hot water—the shower-versus-bath question is a common one. The practical answer: in many everyday scenarios, showers can be more water-efficient, but long, high-flow showers can quickly erase the advantage. Water consumption is mainly driven by volume (how much water flows into your drain or sits in the tub) and time (how long water runs). That means comparisons hinge on your faucet and showerhead settings, tub size, and how you use hot water during the process. Typical water use: showers A standard showerhead often uses roughly 2 to 2.5 gallons per minute , though modern “low-flow” models may be lower and some high-pressure setups can be higher. For example, a 5-minute shower could range around 10 to 12.5 gallons , while a 10-minute shower co ... Read more »
We are highly recommended to have a sewer line video inspection done when buying a house.
This inspection can help identify any potential issues or hidden problems within the underground sewer line that may not be visible during a regular home inspection. By using a video camera to inspect the sewer line, any blockages, leaks, or structural damage can be detected, allowing you to make an informed decision about the property and potentially avoid costly repairs in the future.
