How would you feel if you constantly ran out of water while taking a wash? I don’t even want to imagine! This is the importance of proper maintenance. Knowing when to call a Plumber (which is as easy as looking up QuickHelp online) will save you the headache.
Top 5 Plumbing Issues that will ruin your day
- Clogs: When water leaks down from your sinks, it is mostly due to a clog forming in the drain lines. While it seems like a good option to put caustic soda mixed with warm water down the drain and clear it, it is not the best option. Wrong use of caustic soda can not only damage your drain lines, but can also damage your skin. Getting a plumber to do it for you and to get the lines cut and the clog removed is the most safest and effective option.
- Low water pressure throughout the house: This problem can be caused by a number of factors, such as obstructions (rust or debris) in the water lines; low water pressure from the city supply or a well; or even poor supply-line design. A good plumber will be able to analyze the problem, determine the cause and solve it in minutes.
- Running Toilets: Running toilets can increase your water bills by a few extra thousands plus, it can waste upto 200 litres a day and if your water line is pumped by a motor, this can lead to extensive damage to the motor as it will keep functioning for hours. This is mainly due to the cistern wearing off and the only option is to replace the entire cistern (which is actually cheaper than the additions to your bills)
- No hot water: Unless the hot water tank is leaking, it might be hard to determine the cause. Who know what happens inside that water heater? Only a plumber would be able to help! So what are you waiting for? NOTE – Replacing a water heater: Think twice before attempting to replace a heater by yourself. One wrong move and you could get electrocuted or worse.
- Leaky pipes: Especially during cold months, it very common for joints to loosen up and start leaking. So keep an eye for wet spots on your ground or your ceiling. Water damages can be very costly and often result in your walls getting damp and weak. Hiring a plumber to identify which joint needs fixing and getting it fixed right away will minimize the damage.
- Sewer line stoppage: If you can’t get the sewer line to stop backing up, you probably have a bad plug in the line that runs out to the main sewer. (Tree roots are often the cause.) You can rent a big sewer rodding machine, but they can damage the drain or sewer lines. Call a plumber or drain-cleaning service. If they get in trouble, they’ll make the repairs.
- Extensive water line damage: When some people detect waterline damage they choose to YouTube a “How to..” video and think they can repair it themselves. Repairing water line damage can take up a lot of your valuable time and could be extremely dangerous due to the high pressure at which the water flows. It’s better to pay a plumber so that you can earn money at your regular job.
Always keep in mind that trying to save money by doing it all yourself is not the wisest decision as the last thing you’d want to see is an artificially flooded house right? If it’s about trusting a person with the pipes, you need not stress as QuickHelp is the best place for the most trustworthy plumbers.
