Frequently Asked Questions

How frequently must I seek a professional inspection for my plumbing?

A professional inspection should ideally be conducted once a year to help identify and rectify potential issues before they turn into bigger problems.

What could be the reason for my elevated water bill?

A sudden spike in your water bill could be a sign of a leak. Look for signs such as dripping faucets, running toilets, or concealed leaks to detect the issue.

Expert Advice:

Coloring the tank part of your toilet with food dye and waiting for 10 minutes can reveal leaks. If the water in the bowl has changed color, the seal likely has a leak.
Look at your meter for a red or black triangle. Leave a mark at its position and watch it for about 5 minutes. If it shifts without any water consumption, there’s likely a leak.

What steps can I take to avert drain blockages?

Regular drain cleaning, the use of drain guards, and avoiding disposal of grease, hair, or large food particles can avert clogs.

Expert Advice:
Pour Root Killer into your toilets and flush annually to reduce root growth. However, if you already have roots in your line, you must get them repaired to prevent water leaks that could damage your foundation.

What’s suggested as the ideal method to upkeep my water heater?

Frequent flushing to get rid of residues, checking the pressure relief valve, and setting the thermostat correctly can extend your water heater’s durability.

How do I know if there’s an unseen leak at my place?

Indications like unexpected water stains, growth of mold, or humidity levels rising can hint at a hidden leak.
Expert Advice:
Monitor your water meter. If there are changes when you don’t use the water, you may have a leak. Highlight the triangle position on the meter and observe for 5-10 minutes. If it moves without water usage, there’s likely a water leak.

Is it okay to use chemical drain cleaners?

Chemical drain cleaners offer a quick solution, but continuous use can discredit pipes. Using a plunger or professional service for recurrent blockages is preferred. Also, chemical usage is discouraged in drainage systems with a septic system as it could negatively affect the pump on aerobic systems and kill the beneficial bacteria in a conventional septic system.

What should my initial reaction be in case of a plumbing mishap?

In case of any water or drain emergency, your first step should be to switch off the main water source to limit further damage. Then immediately contact a proficient plumber. In a gas emergency, ventilate the place by opening windows and doors, and reach out to a reliable plumber. Also, consider notifying the fire department or gas company if it’s a severe gas leak.

Is there such a thing as eco-friendly plumbing?

Certainly! Options such as low-flow fixtures, tankless or heat pump water heaters, rainwater preservation, and greywater systems can lower your water consumption and be better for the environment.

Why is the water pressure sometimes not up to the mark?

Numerous reasons can cause low water pressure, including pipe rusting, dirty faucet aerators, clogged faucets or hoses, a failing pressure regulator, or system leaks.

What do I do if my toilet never seems to stop running?

Persistent running of a toilet is usually due to a defective flapper or fill valve. Fixing or replacing these components typically solves the problem.
