Plumbing is usually not what you would expect to be on your regular “spring clean” list, compared to cleaning out the garage or the attic or (hopefully) checking your smoke alarms. However, plumbing is just as important, especially seeing that plumbing makes up the hidden roads of your water supply and without maintenance, the water that usually runs to your hot shower can turn cold, or your taps may not turn at all.
Maintenance plumbing is crucial to keeping your hot water system, pipes, your sewers and drains clear and clean. Clear pipes and clear drains allow you to have your hot water for the kitchen, laundry, and bathroom and running water for everywhere else you may need it including the water supply to fire sprinklers.
Besides the movement of the water, unbeknown to most is that some plumbing hardware and fixtures come with safety features. Most importantly would be the thermostat valves which are attached to the pipes which leave the hot water system and play a crucial part in temperature control. Safety valves are required by law to prevent temperatures higher than 50 degrees reaching showers and sinks where excessive hot water can cause burns putting especially children at risk.
Why your property needs maintenance plumbing?
It increases the longevity of hardware and appliances. This is more so directed at plumbing appliances such as hot water systems and white goods. When detected early, small faults can be quickly rectified allowing your appliances to run as they should instead of running with faults which will ultimately reduce their longevity. On a side note, minor blockages and debris can also have detrimental effects on pipes, sinks, and toilets even if a complete block is absent. A minor blockage can place extra pressure on pipe systems making it easier for them to crack, leak or burst.
It identifies any faults or issues early to prevent a larger problem developing. During routine inspections, any part or potential blockages in toilets, sewers, and drains can be cleared before flooding, overflowing and any other emergency situations.
It maintains your safety features in your home or business. As mentioned above about the safety valves and fire sprinklers, however, plumbing safety can be compromised by the smallest leaking tap or pipe. Especially when leaks are located near any electrical goods or outlets which they usually say in the kitchen, bathroom or laundry.
