Eight things you can do to prevent unexpected plumbing costs?

Having a plan in place is essential when checking your plumbing system. Whether you do it yourself or have a professional do it, your plan should cover these critical areas.

1- DRAINS – Drains that are slow can mean something is wrong with your pipes. If it gets clogged, it can lead to dangerous sewage leaks that can damage your home. These leaks are sometimes in places you can’t see and can cause a lot of harm.

2- LEAKS – Broken Natural Gas Lines & Water leaks are a big problem and can cost a lot of money to fix. Checking the areas where pipes, gas lines and plumbing are located, & inspected like cabinets and under the floor, is important to find potential leaks early. These areas are not often looked at, so it’s good to check them regularly.

3 – TOILETS – If you’ve noticed that your toilet seems to be continually running, it’s essential to address the issue as quickly as possible. Not only can a constantly running toilet waste a considerable amount of water, it can also lead to a significant increase in your water bills.

4 – SUMP PUMP TUNE UP – Sump Pump Systems protect your home by removing excess water that surrounds your home before it accumulates and causes severe damage to basements and crawlspaces. Ignoring a regular Tune-Up and upgrades is the #1 cause for flooding and structural damage due to Pump Failure.

5- WATER HEATERS – Checking your water heater periodically can help identify leaks that might occur unexpectedly and cause costly water damage. Maintaining a regular schedule to drain and remove any sediment buildup can also help improve the heater’s energy efficiency.

6- WATER PRESSURE – Water flow with too much pressure can damage and break your plumbing equipment earlier. The excessive force of water can cause leaks or ruptures in pipes, fittings, and hoses.

7 -WATER FILTER SYSTEMS – Regular maintenance of your water filters are key to maintaining clean and safe water, avoiding a loss of service, or damaging filter equipment or other plumbing fixtures and appliances beyond economical repair.
