Plumbing Maintenance

Simple general maintenance of your plumbing system can prevent often expensive repairs at a later date. Because the plumbing in our commercial, business property or home generally works, and for the most part is “out of sight out of mind”, we have a tendency to overlook the potential for significant problems and out of pocket expense.

If you would like to personally maintain your home’s plumbing system, make sure you research plumbing basics which are readily available to study online, in books and in current magazines. You need to get comfortable with plumbing systems generally, and learn how to make a distinction between its different parts such as the waste pipes, water supply pipes and drains.

If you prefer to have the guidance of a professional, contact your local plumber who will enable you to avoid later expenses by:

• Fixing leaky faucets.
• Checking drains for blockages.
• Wrapping outdoor or crawl space pipes with electric heat tape or insulation to prevent freezing.
• Checking under sinks for moisture or small leaks.
• Checking strainers in bathroom drains.
• Making sure overflow holes on tubs and any vanities are clear and open to prevent water damage to floors and ceilings
