How to Avoid Plumbing Nightmares in Your Home

Have you ever had a plumbing nightmare before? Not only can it be a hassle, but it can also be damaging to flooring and ceilings, not to mention unhygienic if sewerage is leaking out of pipes. Sometimes these incidents are out of your control, but you can take steps to lessen the occurrence of many issues by being proactive about the condition of your drains. Calling a plumber and booking in for an inspection and maintenance at regular intervals can stop problems in their tracks before they turn into a nightmare situation. Below are three common plumbing problems in Berwick to look out for that can cause havoc with your plumbing:

Leaking Pipes

Pipe inspection is vital when you’ve just moved into a new home to check for leaking pipes. Unless you get a professional plumber to check the status of your pipes, you could be in for a disaster down the track. Whether your home is old or new, there’s an equal chance that your water pipes could be warped, broken or collapsed from wear and tear. Pipes are usually hidden under floors and in walls, so getting a licenced professional to check them for possible leaks is recommended. While a building inspector will uncover the damage caused by leaking pipes, a qualified plumber is required to assess for compliance issues and make repairs.

Blocked Drains

Are your toilets or sinks not flushing or draining properly? It could be the first sign of a blockage. DIY methods may clear it for a while, but blockages will return if a professional plumber isn’t called for proper drain clearing. A licenced plumber can get to the cause of the problem using specially designed drain clearing tools. They’ll also know what to do if the blockage is due to a collapsed drain pipe.

Broken Down Hot Water System

One of the most common issues we find during our plumbing services in Berwick is broken down hot water systems. Having no hot water is a nightmare, especially if it goes on for days and you can’t have a hot shower. To avoid inconvenience, make sure you call a plumber to carry out a regular inspection of your hot water system. This will help you to avoid future breakdowns and hot water system repair.
