Residential Plumbing Maintenance

Plumbing issues in homes have ways of quickly spiraling out of control. There is nothing worse than waiting until it's too late to get hold of a plumber; because the longer you wait, the more costly repairs and replacements will be.



So, even when you would consider your issue just a little bit of maintenance, getting an expert to consult with is always a wise move.

Even if you don't think there is anything especially wrong with your home's plumbing, here are a few maintenance tips to make sure you're not doing any significant harm to your system.

Another common problem is leaking joints, where water seeps out through the cracks between two pipes

Corrosion, roots, and general blockages are other common issues that affect sewer drains. In these cases, you may notice a sluggish drain, an odor problem, a mold issue, unexpectedly lush patches in your grass, or foundation issues with your home.

Avoid Chemical Drain Cleaners

Clogged drains would be the most common household plumbing issue. Most homeowners don't assume they need a professional to intervene because they can just go buy a jar of chemical drain cleaner from the hardware store or pharmacy. However, they often do more damage than good.



Not only do all these chemicals not get rid of the entire clogs, causing the problem to replicate, but they can in fact hamper your house's pipes, which makes them more likely to burst or leak through the years.

Don't Sleep on Clogs

Clogs are more severe than an inconvenience. Backed-up water puts a lot of strain in your own drain pipes, which can shorten their lifespan substantially. After you see that water is draining slower than normal, call Save The Day Plumbing and we can save a great deal of difficulty in the long run.

Water Line Repairs

Among the more serious jobs Save The Day Plumbing has to deal with are water line repairs. A leaky or broken water line may damage buildings, foundations and landscaping. In addition, it can run up your water bill. Obviously, it is very unpleasant and potentially catastrophic.

So be wary of those signs that your home requires a water line fix:

•  Water pressure is reduced to a trickle
• Lawn looks swampy
• Soft patches and depressions in the ground have appeared around your home
• Paving, bricks or concrete around your home appear damp or unstable
• Water bill is much higher than normal

If these symptoms fit exactly what your house is going through, contact Save the Day Plumbing immediately. We will send someone over as soon as we can to inspect your house and see how we can help.
