No homeowner wants to find out that their plumbing system is not functioning as expected. Fortunately, with a little knowledge and some preventative care, we can help make sure you’re up-to-date on the most common plumbing fixture repair. In the following, we’ll be covering the top four items that are most likely to cause issues and how best to go about fixing them so your home’s plumbing stays trouble-free!
Water Heaters
The water heater is one of the most important components in a home’s plumbing system and is often the source of many potable and hot water issues. Typical repairs that may be required include replacing failed heating elements, flushing out sediment buildup, or troubleshooting electrical wiring problems.
Toilets
Toilet issues are among the most common plumbing complaints that homeowners face. A regular inspection can help identify any potential problems before they become an issue, as well as preventative maintenance such as replacing faulty flush valves or adjusting fill levels to ensure proper functionality. Additionally, make sure to regularly check for signs of leaks or damaged parts which could cause major headaches down the road if left unchecked.
Faucets
Dripping and leaking faucets are an all-too-common problem for homeowners. Regularly inspecting the pipes, seals, and shutoff valves can help prevent any major problems from occurring. If a leak does occur, it is best to address it sooner rather than later as even small amounts of water leakage can add up over time leading to costly damage.
Sump Pumps
Sump pumps help keep basements dry by collecting excess water and pumping it away from your home. It’s important to check the pump periodically to make sure it is functioning properly, replacing the switch or impeller if necessary. Additionally, occasionally clearing out debris that has accumulated in the basin can ensure maximum efficiency and longevity of operation.
Prevent More Serious Problems
When you call in a trusted plumbing professional to evaluate your home’s plumbing system, they can quickly identify any issues with common fixtures and make the necessary repairs.
