PLUMBING & GAS MAINTENANCE FOR HOMES & COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES

Home and business owners will most likely require the services of a plumber at some point. No matter how well the pipes are installed in a home or business, plumbing problems are inevitable in the long run. Some plumbing issues are minor nuisances that you might ignore for a while until it bothers you too much. A leaky faucet, a slow drain, a running toilet that you have to jiggle the handle to get it to stop, are examples of potentially minor plumbing issues. However, other plumbing issues require attention immediately before they snowball into big problems.

You probably don’t look at your hot water unit often so if you do see water around it take action now. It could be a crack in the internal tank. A small puddle can turn into litres of water damaging walls and floors. Hot water units have limited life spans. Frequent inspections and maintenance is good practice.

Leaks

Persistent water leaks are the most common and costly cause of damage to your home or business.  Routine inspections in locations like cabinets, vanities and underfloor areas where pipes and plumbing appliances reside and that are infrequently accessed is an important practice. Any signs of leaks should be taken care of immediately. Catching a leak early may result in just needing to dry out the wet surfaces.

This could indicate a leak in your underground pipes. It could be from a constantly running toilet that you never use or a leak in a part of your house that you don’t frequent.

Water pressure 

High water pressure can lead to excessive wear and premature failure of your plumbing fixtures and appliances.  High water pressure can also cause pipes, fittings, and hoses to leak and or burst.

Slow drains indicate an existing problem with your waste piping.  A stoppage is  frequently accompanied by unhealthy and toxic sewage leaks.  These leaks are usually in hidden locations and can cause considerable damage to your structure. Some sewerage problems are easy to solve such as keeping the water level up in your p or s traps by pouring a cup of water down the drain.

Look out for mold and mildew on any surfaces. Check in vanities and back of cabinets. A leak can go undetected for a long time and grow mould in a widespread area.

A wet lawn when the weather has been dry could indicate an exterior water main leak.
