The National Kitchen & Bath Association and John Burns Real Estate Consulting’s Kitchen and Bath Market Index Report released last fall shows continued demand for residential remodel services, despite the challenges facing the supply chain and ongoing price increases.

Plumbing contractors across the country are receiving more calls than ever before from prospective customers who are looking to have a flow-based smart leak control system installed in their home or business.
