Plumbing Maintenance Checklist: 4 Steps You Must Take

12/7/2020

 
Picture
Every household knows that the plumbing system is a vital component of the property. While it provides the family with a water supply, it also disposes of wastewater properly. As it’s a complex system filled with pipes, fixtures, and fittings, it needs to be maintained regularly so that it can run optimally. However, it’s easy for many homeowners to take it for granted and only call an emergency plumber when a plumbing emergency arises to inspect and get it fixed.

If you want to ensure that your plumbing system remains in top shape and working condition, here are four steps that should be in your plumbing maintenance checklist:

1) Be Wary of Leaky Faucets

Did you know that a dripping faucet wastes over 3,000 gallons annually? Unfortunately, it’s easy to see faucets that leak in many residential properties, and the sad truth is that many homeowners take them for granted. Imagine the amount of fresh water that gets wasted and its impact on your monthly utility bills. If you want to conserve water and save costs, be sure to inspect for leaks and have them fixed right away.

2) Inspect Your Toilet When Flushed Out

When it comes to your toilet, nothing can be more frustrating and disgusting than a toilet that doesn’t flush down and keeps on backing up. The main culprit here is usually the improper disposal of wastes. It’s easy for family members to flush down anything they want, from baby wipes to diapers to menstrual pads and even medications. Keep in mind that only the three P’s are allowed in your toilet—pee, poo, and paper (toilet paper). But more than anything else, check to see if it’s flushing down properly, and if it doesn’t, call a plumber immediately to remedy the situation.

3) Check Your Drains If They’re Clogged

Your plumbing drains need to be regularly inspected, whether in the bathroom, kitchen, or other parts of the house. The last thing you will want to happen is for them to get clogged. Typically, the reason for clogged drains is the improper disposal of trash, wastes, and other debris. It’s easy for your bathroom to have an accumulation of hair strands, soap buildup, and other debris. As for your kitchen, your family members might not be wary of pouring down grease and leftovers in the sink.

4) Be Wary of Moisture of Your Plumbing Fixtures

Excess moisture is a big no-no in any corner of your house. Not only does it lead to mildew and mould infestation, but it also impacts the structural integrity of your property. On top of this is that it will also affect your family’s health. For this reason, you must be on the lookout for visible signs, such as damp walls, wet floors, or accumulated mildew. If one or several of these are evident, remember to call an expert immediately, such as those at 24 Hour Plumbing & Heating, to address the issue!

Conclusion

At this point, you now know what to do for your plumbing maintenance. As outlined above, all it takes is to be wary of leaky faucets, inspect your toilet when flushed out, check your drains if they’re clogged, and be wary of moisture of your plumbing fixtures. During the inspection, be sure to immediately address any minor plumbing issues so that they won’t escalate into extensive damages. Ultimately, hiring an expert plumber for regular plumbing maintenance will make all the difference in your pipes’ integrity!
