Plumbing Check-Ups

To keep the plumbing system working efficiently, it is essential to perform check-ups on the system. Most experts suggest performing a plumbing check-up each year. Over time, a homeowner can expect to encounter some kind of plumbing problem. Because the plumbing system is such an important and integral part of the home, it is important to make sure it stays in good working order.

Plumbing Fixing Pipes under Sink

There are a number of problems that can occur in the plumbing system that if left unfixed could become a large and expensive problem. Therefore, it is more economical to detect and repair plumbing problems as early as possible. For instance, noisy water pipes can evolve into a serious problem that will be much more expensive to repair. Rattling pipes, or water hammer, can have a sound that is a mild tapping or banging like a drum sound, or even a high squealing sound. This can be due to loose water pipes or water in the air chambers. If left untreated, it can cause serious damage to the plumbing system. For instance, if it is a forced water heating system problem, the damage could eventually occur if the system is not purged and could result in permanent damage that will be really expensive to replace.

There are problems that can occur in the plumbing that can be easily fixed if detected early. For instance, it is easy to tighten connections, replace old and worn showers, add caulking around plumbing fixtures, replace worn screws and washers, and clean faucets, showerheads, and aerators. When it comes to constantly run toilets, sometimes it is just the flapper valve system that is broken or worn which can be easily fixed. Before making any plumbing repairs, it is essential that a homeowner shuts off the water.

Over time, leaking pipes can result in a more serious problem that will be expensive to fix. For instance, a cracked water pipe can eventually burst and can cause such damage as basement flooding. As well, a burst septic line can be a dirty and smelly problem that cannot only be expensive to repair but expensive to clean up. The accumulation of sediment in a water pipe can result in a clogged pipe and low water pressure. It is important that pipes are checked as they may need to be flushed to push any built-up sediment through and out of the system. As well, an early clog can often be easily cleared before it develops into something larger and tougher to fix.

Although it may seem like a big chore to do a plumbing check-up, it is a vital part of maintaining a home. If you ignore the system until a serious problem occurs, you could end up with a huge repair bill. If there is a problem that may possibly be serious or complicated to repair, it is important to contact a Maui professional plumber.
