It is hard to predict when a plumbing emergency will occur. However, there are simple steps homeowners can take to avoid the worst. The first step is to schedule regular plumbing maintenance calls.
Safari Plumbing in Ottawa offers a wide variety of plumbing maintenance services. Their skilled technicians help homeowners avoid the worst plumbing scenarios with plumbing inspections and maintenance for every part of the system.
Plumbing maintenance is a general term for several different types of work. So, you may be wondering where to start with a plumbing maintenance call. Below are significant types of maintenance services from which all homeowners can benefit. If you find yourself in a bind, Safari offers emergency plumbing in Ottawa, too!
Types of plumbing maintenance to consider
Plumbing inspections
This is the best place to start when hiring a plumber in Ottawa. With an inspection, homeowners get a better idea of the state of the entire plumbing system before committing to repairs.
For plumbing inspections in Ottawa, look to a company with 40 years of experience with inspections. Safari Plumbing performs a detailed evaluation of fixtures, appliances (including water heaters or sump pumps), supply lines, drains, valves, and the pressure and temperature. The Safari team uses camera assistance in the pipes and drains for a less invasive inspection.
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting
Regular drain cleaning makes a huge difference in the performance of many home fixtures. The more obvious ones include bathtubs, showers, and sinks. However, a regularly scheduled drain cleaning also positively affects your washing machine and dishwasher performance. Hydro jetting is a tougher type of drain cleaning, which homeowners may not need periodically if they perform regular drain cleaning!
Appliance or fixture maintenance
Drain cleaning or a plumbing inspection may reveal your plumbing issues in the appliances or fixtures. Safari Plumbing performs checks on all plumbing appliances. They will make expert recommendations on ways to properly maintain each appliance.
Sump pump or water heater maintenance
These two major plumbing appliances should never be neglected. The sump pump acts as a barrier to basement flooding and will be part of a regular inspection with Safari Plumbing. Their experienced technicians will inspect it for issues and recommend any needed repairs. And while you have them in the basement, Safari Plumbing also inspects water heaters. Ongoing water heater maintenance will ensure the temperature and pressure are always where they should be.
The benefits of regular plumbing maintenance
Avoiding emergencies and costly repairs is the most significant benefit of regular plumbing inspections and maintenance. Moreover, homeowners will notice these more minor added benefits, too.
– Decreased utility bills
– Increased home value
– Appliances, fixtures, and pipes will last longer
– You’ll notice better water pressure
– A more enjoyable life (no nasty odours, no flooding, no sink or tub backups, and cleaner dishes or laundry)
That last point is essential. Life is majorly inconvenienced when plumbing systems malfunction, especially in an emergency. But with ongoing plumbing maintenance in Ottawa, you can ensure you don’t run into those inconveniences.
