Look after a House by Servicing the Plumbing

• A plumbing inspection will be a thorough check of
  all the joints, faucets, sewer lines and if there
  is a well pump supplying the garden, that will be
  checked also. On many occasions a check of the
  sewer line will reveal a partial blockage and
  this needs to be cleared. That inspection would
  have been carried out by checking the monitor of
  a remote crawler CCTV camera which has been
  inserted into the sewer. The camera sees all, and
  there are possibly roots or cracks in the pipe,
  or misalignment has caused this partial blockage.
  The plumber will accurately determine where this
  problem is, excavate the area where the pipes are
  located. He can attend to this by replacing some
  pipes if cracked or simply clearing the line with
  his tools. Having this done in time will prevent
  the sewer from blocking up completely, thus
  eliminating the need for emergency work. The best
  idea for all home owners is to ask their
  neighborhood plumber to inspect the plumbing and
  issue a report. This will save all emergency
  eventualities. Do this today, would be good
  advice!

Take Care of the Plumbing by Regular Servicing

• Hot water cylinders are costly to replace but
  there is no need if they are serviced at regular
  intervals. Problems associated with them can be,
  thermostat operation, pressure reducing valves,
  corroded parts etc.
• Gas heating equipment can be dangerous and needs
  to be maintained regularly. All gas heaters have
  starting devices (piezo-electric) and turn off
  valves in case the flame becomes extinguished.
  Also supply valves must shut-off correctly.
  Servicing them will ensure they do not
  malfunction. Toilets are often a cause of
  problems by leaking and dripping which can carry
  on through the night. If these are just off your
  bedroom, then the dripping is much worse and can
  really annoy the occupants often preventing
  sleep.
• Water leaks in general need to be taken care of
  even though you may think these are minor leaks
  in an insignificant place. If a pipe bursts it
  will cause more problems that a tiny leak that
  was not attended to.
• Sewer blockages are serious and need to be
  cleared as soon as possible. With regular
  servicing, a sewer can be cleared out preventing
  it being blocked by tree or shrubbery roots which
  grow into the pipe. All these items are in your
  house plumbing and all can fail at some time or
  other if not serviced regularly. Take some
  advice, call a plumber and ask for a free quote
  to inspect your plumbing.

Remove all those Plumbing Problems with a
Maintenance check-up

• Water heaters which need to operate properly in
  winter months especially need regular checking.
  There are many parts to a hot water cylinder that
  can go wrong such as, Leaky valves, badly set or
  damaged thermostats resulting in incorrect
  temperatures, Inflow and outflow problems,
  pressure valve trouble.
• If there is any trouble with the hot water
  cylinder pressure valve it can cause a leak, and
  a leak in the cylinder results in a flood of
  water probably in the basement where it will bot
  bee seen for some time.
• A submersible pump may be in your water supply
  should your dwelling be out of town or not
  connected to the local authority or municipal
  water supply. These are usually found on small
  holdings or farms. Often referred to as a 'well
  pump ' these pumps draw water from an underground
  source. These have many working parts such as
  non-return valves, pump diaphragms and bearings,
  electric motors and are extremely costly to
  repair or replace. These definitely need
  servicing from time to time.
