3 Reasons To Have Your Plumbing System Serviced Today

Friday, June 17th, 2016

Many people never consider getting their plumbing system serviced unless it clogs up or breaks down. By waiting, you are essentially betting on your plumbing system to fail and waiting to pick up the pieces when it does. Refusing to have your plumbing system serviced is a costly and risky way to manage it. The following are three reasons everyone should consider having a inspection and service done on their plumbing system today.

Dealing with clogs

Do you wait until your car completely breaks down before you get it fixed? You would not wait that long to service your vehicle because doing so would cost you twice or three times as much to fix it. Think about your plumbing system in the same way. If you wait until you develop a problem, then it will be more expensive than necessary to have the system serviced. Hiring professional plumbers to regularly inspect and service your plumbing system prevents potential system blockages or clogs. A simple clog can develop into a serious problem very quickly, so preventative maintenance is important.

Hot water heater issues

We often fail to appreciate hot water until it is gone. Hot water is used for many things, including your coffee or tea, to take a shower, and to clean the dishes. Hot water flows from your water heater. The typical water heater should last between 8 and 15 years, depending on the brand. You can ensure that your water heater lives a full life with regular service. If you begin to notice variations in the temperature of your water, then there is likely something wrong with your water heater. A plumber can inspect the water heater for potential problems and resolve them before you need a costly replacement.

Water safety and health

Most people know not to drink river water because it may not be clean or safe. If river water is moving quickly, it is probably safe to drink, but if it is slow or not moving at all, it is not safe to drink. That same rule applies to the water in your plumbing pipes. A clog slows down your entire water system and could even result in burst pipes. The clog can also undermine your water’s safety. Water becomes trapped inside the pipe system and creates an environment where bacteria can develop. The bacteria affects the safety and cleanliness of the water coming out of your faucet.

You can try snaking the drain yourself, but this often results in the clog being pushed deeper inside the plumbing system. Instead, let a professional plumber inspect your system and determine the best course of action to repair it. The last thing you want to do is endanger your family with contaminated water.
