Plumbing Maintenance Services
At the beginning of the new year, people like to make resolutions to improve in various areas of their lives. Homeowners should consider adding plumbing maintenance to their resolutions to better care for their homes this year. This blog post discusses the importance of plumbing maintenance and what plumbing maintenance entails.
Neglecting to do plumbing maintenance can lead to minor problems that could have been caught during maintenance visits, turning into total plumbing disasters. Regular plumbing maintenance helps improve the function and longevity of the plumbing system, saving homeowners money and giving them peace of mind that their plumbing system is operating safely.
Professional Drain Cleaning
Liquid drain cleaners use harsh chemicals that can negatively affect the plumbing. The chemicals in liquid drain cleaners are meant to dissolve blockages, but they can also lead to corrosion of the pipes. To safely clean the drains, homeowners can use plungers for their toilet drains or DIY solutions for their sink drains, such as pouring hot water down the drain or pouring a combination of baking soda and vinegar into the drain to create a chemical reaction that can safely loosen blockages and keep drains clear.
For tough clogs, it’s crucial to call a plumber for professional drain cleaning that can help maintain the pipes and prevent plumbing problems. Professional drain cleaning services also don’t just have to be for when there is a clog. They can also be preventative maintenance that prolongs the lifespan of the pipes and prevents clogs from forming, such as hydro jetting. Professional drain cleaning solutions for a clog may include a drain snake or high-pressure hydro jetting.
Hire an Expert for Plumbing Maintenance
Plumbing systems are complicated networks of pipes, fixtures, and drainage systems that require routine care and inspection from a highly skilled professional. Plumbers know how to maintain plumbing systems properly to prevent problems and extend the life of the plumbing. Without the correct training, an unqualified individual could cause further damage to the home or put themselves and others at risk.
Professional plumbers can quickly diagnose and find solutions for any plumbing problems they find during maintenance. During regular plumbing maintenance appointments, the professional plumber will inspect the plumbing system for signs of damage and suggest how to improve its function. Plumbers can also adjust the water pressure during maintenance appointments and ensure that plumbing fixtures work to their maximum capacity.
Don’t Forget Water Heater Maintenance
In addition to inspecting the plumbing system, checking for leaks, and making minor repairs, water heater maintenance from a plumber is also vital to keeping the plumbing working correctly. Over time, sediment builds up in the hot water tank from minerals in the water. When this sediment is not flushed out often enough, it can negatively impact the water heater's performance.
The water heater is an essential piece of home hardware that is costly to replace. This is why keeping up with a water heater maintenance schedule is critical. Routine maintenance improves efficiency, reduces water heating costs, prevents problems, and helps extend the water heater's life.
