It may not be exciting to have your home's plumbing system serviced, it is an extremely useful thing to do.
It can improve your family's health, drinking water, water pressure and save you thousands on future repairs.
1.
Avoid Costly Clogs When your pipes clog, it's not just annoying...
it can cost you an arm and a leg to fix if not taken care of early.
What happens is that a clog occurs in your pipes or drains.
Water flows slowly to your faucets.
It is tainted with whatever is clogging the pipe, so, it's not good water to cook with or drink.
And, pressure can build up in the pipe, causing it to burst.
This leads to flooding and damages to your floors, ceilings, and walls.
When you see that your kitchen sink, shower, or tub are draining slowly, it is time to have the plumbing checked.
This is the early warning sign of clogging.
If you let the problem continue, you risk burst pipes and dangerous bacteria build up.
2.
Continuous Hot Water Most home owners do not realize how much they rely on their water heaters, nor how hard the heater works, until it breaks.
When you start getting less warm water or the hot water does not last long enough, you can be sure that your water heater is experiencing problems.
A simple fix by your plumber can save you hundreds or thousands in a full heater replacement.
Your water heater can last between 8 and 15 years.
If you have it serviced regularly, it will last longer.
And, you can be assured of continuous hot water on even the coldest of winter days.
3.
Water Pressure and Healthy Water Your water pressure can get dangerously low if you have clogs or blockages in your pipes.
Often, we attempt to simply snake drains on our own which actually causes bigger problems.
This can result in pushing the clog deeper into the pipes, resulting in bigger pressure build ups and a higher likely hood that your pipes will burst.
Clogged pipes and slow draining drains mean that you are getting water that is tainted with bacteria, especially in your kitchen.
This is extremely unhealthy for you and your family.
When you have your pipes and drains cleaned and maintained by a professional, you are assured that water will flow freely and with enough force to keep everything clean and bacteria free.
