The Necessity of Plumbing Maintenance

People tend to assume that everything is fine if there is no obvious problem with the plumbing. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Problems with plumbing can begin small before they can be noticed without training and observation. Before a homeowner is aware, they may have serious water damage or corrosion in pipes so bad that they need to be replaced. This article will discuss what goes into plumbing maintenance and why it is so essential to the functioning of a household.

Drain Cleaning

drainProfessional plumbers use various methods, such as hydro-jetting, auger cleaning, and snaking, to safely perform drain cleaning. Hydro-jetting is when high-pressure water blasts through clogs and debris buildup in pipes. Auger cleaning involves using a special tool with blades that cut through the debris. Snaking uses a long, flexible cable inserted into the pipe to push through the clog.

These methods effectively clear debris from pipes, helping prevent further blockages and improving water flow. They can also help eliminate bad odors caused by buildup in the drain pipes. Additionally, regular drain cleaning by a professional can help reduce the need for major plumbing repairs in the future.

Homeowners are not recommended to use chemical drain cleaners as they are typically ineffective and can harm pipes. The harsh chemicals can corrode metal pipes, leading to expensive damage that could require the replacement of parts or even an entire pipe system. Furthermore, these products can cause skin and eye irritation and release potentially hazardous fumes into the air. Professional plumbers are trained to use safe methods that will not cause any damage or harm to the pipes or surrounding environment.   

Hiring a Plumber for Professional Maintenance

The importance of having regular plumbing maintenance done by a professional cannot be understated. Professional plumbers are trained to spot potential problems and head them off before they become bigger, more expensive issues. During a maintenance visit, a plumber will check the system for leaks or blockages, inspect pipes for corrosion or breaks, check all valves and faucets for proper operation, and ensure the flow of sewage lines is working correctly. 

Keeping up on regular maintenance will help identify potential issues before they become major problems, saving homeowners money in the long run. Regular maintenance also helps to keep the plumbing system running at peak performance, reducing water waste, improving water quality, and helping to extend the life of the plumbing system. 

The Importance of Maintaining the Water Heater

During a maintenance visit, the professional will check the temperature of the water in the tank, inspect it for any signs of corrosion or wear, and look for any leaks or other problems. They will also flush out sediment from the bottom of the tank, adjust the pressure and temperature settings if necessary, look for any broken or worn parts, and perform any needed repairs. 

Regular water heater maintenance is a great way to help extend the life of the system and can help prevent potential problems from arising in the future. It can also save homeowners money, ensuring that the water heater runs as efficiently as possible, so they’re not wasting energy and money on heating water.
