Plumbing maintenance around your home or workplace is really important to prevent problems before they can cause major issues and cost you thousands.
As plumbers in Murray Bridge we also see septic tank problems caused by plumbing maintenance issues like leaky taps, blocked drains and running toilets. They not only risk the health of your family or staff but can cause major environmental issues too.
Leaking taps, hoses, pipes and toilets can end up costing you a lot of money in the long run. They can add severe costs to your water bill,
cause water damage in and around your home or workplace and waste precious water when so much of Australia is regularly facing a drought.
Constant dripping of taps can waste a litre of water an hour. Poor plumbing maintenance of toilets can result in hundreds of litres of water
being wasted daily. This not only costs you money with water usage, but can cause septic tank problems by overflowing your catchment.
Plumbing maintenance could be as easy as replacing a few washers, valves or tightening up a loose fitting and replacing plumber’s tape. Or
you may wish to upgrade your older fittings to more energy efficiency products.
As plumbers in Murray Bridge we have seen our fair share of plumbing blockages. Blocked toilets, pipes and sewage systems are caused by a number of things like old infrastructure or build up over time but sometimes it could be as easy as flushing something you shouldn’t have. Never pour oil or push hair down the sink or flush sanitary items, cigarette butts or general waste that should be binned. You’ll know if you have a reason to call in some plumbing maintenance because your toilet won’t flush or the bowl will fill with water. Sometimes these problems can be fixed with basic plunging but usually the problem is more serious and needs an expert to step in. Don’t stress, we’ve seen it all before.
Plumbing maintenance also extends to ensuring septic tank problems don’t arise because too much water is entering the system. A septic overflow is a biohazard and the best way to avoid it is to get a professional to test the levels for you and decide at what intervals you should pump out septic waste. Here’s everything you need to know about septic tank servicing.
