A Checklist to Avoid Plumbing Nightmares

No homeowner likes plumbing disasters or surprises. Although NY Plumbing and Sewer Rooter is available for emergency service whenever you need, following the checklist below, especially if you have an older home, will help keep your headaches to a minimum (Property24):



Inspect your geyser regularly for any signs of leakage. Replace geysers that are old and warn to prevent it from bursting. Geysers that burst will cause damage to your home. When replacing, consider an energy efficient model that will even save you money on your electricity bill!

Check for mold or dampness. Mold or dampness in bathroom or kitchen walls is a sign of leaky pipes. If found, repair quickly!

Check the base of your toilet. Dark stains around the base of your toilet are a sign of mold. As in the previous step, you may have a crack or leak that needs quick repairing.

Look out for calcium deposits. If your tap trickles or your toilet refills slowly, you may have calcium deposits in your pipe. Since this can affect your water pressure, contact a plumber. They can help you clear or replace the pipes.
