Water supply, heat and sanitation are crucial components to any residential or commercial property. These little drains, fixtures, pipes and fittings may not seem like a big deal but they make all the difference when they go awry.
All plumbing systems require maintenance, attention and sometimes repairs. It is best to do thorough inspections to avoid major renovations or unexpected emergencies.
EZ Plumbing not only provides an array of services to clients but is also here to guide you through the world of general and emergency plumbing.
Maintenance and inspections
There are preventative measures that can be taken to avoid a burst pipe or a flood that wakes you up in the middle of the night. Ignoring a small leak is a huge mistake in the long run and could lead to unexpected renovations and expenses.
Check your plumbing: Regular inspections of your entire home could spot potential issues before they become large problems.
Don’t wait for an emergency: If you notice a slow leak under your kitchen sink or a clog in your bathroom drain then it is best to fix it immediately.
Pump your septic system: Septic tanks need to be pumped to remove solid objects and accumulated sludge. This prolongs the life of any septic tank and prevents a nasty septic failure.
What are the dangers?
A plumbing emergency, depending on the location and the severity of the problem, can lead to a slew of other difficulties.
Expensive damage: There could be severe damage to your property whether you are experiencing a flood or a sewage backup. These can lead to costly repairs or an entire overhaul of your plumbing. In some situations, harm to your property may even be permanent.
Irreplaceable loss: If you experience flooding due to a burst pipe then it could result in the loss of personal and cherished items that are impossible to replace.
Odour: If you are having an emergency situation with your septic tank or your toilet is backed up then you may have to deal with a foul smell.
Health risks: A plumbing crisis that leads to an accumulation of water in your home could result in mould and subsequent health risks.
What should you do?
In the case of an emergency it is important to remember to shut off the water and gas supply. Familiarize yourself with the valves below your kitchen sink and other areas so that you are prepared for an emergency.
