3 ways to maintain your home's plumbing

Every day a small number of people call the plumbers and request immediate intervention to repair the pipes. From shut-off valves, frozen pipes and leaking taps, plumbing accidents occur throughout the year and are rarely expected. So how can you maintain your plumbing to avoid an accident? Here are the three methods for maintaining home plumbing:

1. Maintain the water valves

Over time, limescale deposits form on the pipes and valves in your home and can cause them to seize. If you have an emergency, it is possible that you will not be able to resolve the situation definitively on your own. Locate the general supply shut-off tap and where the individual valves are located. This way you can temporarily eliminate any leaks and then proceed with repair and maintenance services. If you are unable to move it, contact a professional to review it and to avoid future accidents.

2. Check your home's bathroom fixtures regularly

Use a flashlight and regularly check for drops of water that accumulate in the lower section of the tube before falling. Listen for noises coming from the bathroom or kitchen and if they come at irregular intervals.

3. Prevent dripping taps

Faucets they catch if not fixed immediately can cause damage in the future. What starts out as a slow trickle can quickly become a steady stream. Easily solve this problem by replacing the rubber gasket. Some homeowners have even replaced their existing faucet with a new one without a seal to avoid these problems. Protect your home from the risks of water leaks and avoid unnecessary repairs by maintaining the plumbing system in your home.

When you start hearing noises in the water pipes, these can be caused by air or lack of air, obstructions and blockages in the water line. Here are some steps you can take to identify the problem. Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve. The water rises rapidly, causing a loud hammering sound in the pipes. This damages the pipes over time. Water hammer only occurs when water is not flowing. You can rule out water hammer if you hear the noise while the water is flowing. Shut off the water supply to your house and drain the water from the pipes by opening a low tap, such as an outside tap or a tub.
