Preventative maintenance plumbing checklist
The following is a quick guide to how you can recognise plumbing issues before they happen.
Leaking faucets or showers
A small leak in your tap or shower will get worse over time. The amount of water that is leaking may seem insignificant, but even a little water can cause major water damage (plus add to your water bill). Some tapware have 5-10 year guarantees, so check the manufacturers website. Old washers can sometimes be the cause and these are relatively easy for you or us to replace. This is also a good opportunity to assess if you want to upgrade your tapware.
Slow or clogged drains.
Over time, drains naturally get clogged with debris (eg, food waste, hair) that will cause the water to drain slower and slower over time. For some drains, it only takes a few minutes to clear the debris and get it flowing again. Ideally you should do this every 3 months or when you notice the drain slowing down. For other occasions when you can’t easily access the drain or a blocked pipe is an issue, contact us, as we have the right equipment to remove the debris without any damage.
Blocked or leaking toilets
Toilets are a big inconvenience when they don’t work so we recommend contacting a plumber as soon as you see any warning signs. Toilets can easily become blocked or due to wear and tear stop functioning correctly. Leaking toilets can run up a big water bill and one of the plumbing repairs best handled by a plumber due to the health risks. Often the repair for toilets is quick and inexpensive.
Dishwashers, waste disposal/insinkerator and washing machines
Each week you should check these appliances for trapped debris. Forgetting to regularly do this can result in the debris moving into the pipes. There are few liquid dissolvers that you can pour down your pipes, but these are typically not environmentally friendly and only temporarily solve your problem.
