Preventative Maintenance

We take our plumbing system for granted when it’s working well but quickly miss it when a fault occurs. Routine maintenance of your home plumbing system can drastically reduce repair costs down the track. The most common plumbing problems are clogged drains and toilets, leaky faucets and pipes, water heater issues, low water pressure, and a running toilet. We are experts at fixing these problems, but more importantly, we can perform preventative maintenance on a routine basis to keep your home running smoothly.

Check For Leaks

As the wet weather comes and goes in Brisbane, the ground that your water main and sewerage outlet sits in swells and sinks. This places pressure on your plumbing, which can cause breaks in your pipes. For your water main, the smallest of cracks can lead to a water leak, which may not be evident at the site or signalled by a pressure drop. Become acquainted with your water meter and take readings from your water meter as well as monitor your usage via your water bill. If required, your water utility provider will most likely offer a service where they will come to your home to clean out your water meter box and ensure it is in good condition. For your sewerage outlet, cracks could lead to tree roots and organic matter clogging your pipe. Watch for wet or green patches in your yard or slow-draining drains in your home. Getting to these problems early can mean significant savings in the future.

Extra Tips: Keeping Your Plumbing Healthy

• Keep your water heater running smoothly; follow the manufacturer’s directions
• Use drain covers in your shower and kitchen sink to prevent clogs
• Don’t put grease and cooking oils into your drains
• Run hot water down your kitchen drain after washing dishes
• Refrain from using caustic/corrosive chemical drain cleaners, a mix of salt and hot water with vinegar can work just as well.
• Don’t use your toilet as a rubbish bin
