What would life be like without indoor plumbing? Fancy using an outhouse, meandering down to the nearest stream to collect water for the day? Of course not. As property owners, it’s important to keep your plumbing in tip-top shape. The results of anything else could easily be disastrous. Consider these common problems that require plumbing solutions before small problems become much larger, and much messier ones.
A single leaky pipe can have a disastrous impact on your home. The worst part is that leaky pipes can leak undetected for a while causing problems that you can’t even see on the surface. If you spot any signs that you might be dealing with a leak, you should call an expert in plumbing solutions. Trained plumbers have equipment that they can use to navigate your plumbing system and isolate where the problems might occur.
It’s a moment that pretty much everyone dreads—the toilet gurgle or the reluctance of the toilet to flush at all. What to do? At the first sign of toilet troubles, it’s best to call in the pros. Over time debris can get trapped in the pipes of your septic system and cleaning them out requires expertise and know-how. This is one problem that you will want to address as soon as possible or else you might end up with a pretty stinky problem.
If you have hard water in your home, it means that the water you eat, drink, and bathe in has a high concentration of dissolved minerals—namely calcium and magnesium. These minerals have a tendency to build up in pipes and signs of their presence are pretty easy to spot. If you suspect hard water build up in your pipes, it’s best to call in a trained plumber to have a look at things and solve the problem.
The average lifespan of a hot water heater is between 15-20 years. Some don’t last very long, and other dinosaurs keep on heating water. Over time, rust and other minerals can build up in the hot water heater and cause the whole system to malfunction. It’s smart to have a pro come in once a year to flush the system and all of its contaminants out.
