Pretoria Plumbing Services – What is Plumbing and its importance?

Plumbing is used to ensure safe delivery of water.

Untreated human waste and fecal matter are responsible for this which is why plumbing holds so much importance.

It plays an important role in our day to day life ensuring our health and safety.

  • What is the purpose of plumbing?
  • Plumbing uses pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks, and other apparatuses to convey fluids.

Heating and cooling (HVAC), waste removal, and potable water delivery are among the most common uses for plumbing, but it is not limited to these applications.

  • What are the two main types of plumbing systems?
  • The first is to bring waterinto the structure for human use, and the second is to remove wastewater of various types.

There are three main types of plumbing systems: potable water, sanitary drainage and storm water drainage.

6 of the Most Common Plumbing Problems

1. Slow Drain

Accumulated hair, soap scum, and personal care products can build up in drains causing them to drain slowly.

Slow drains are one of the most typical plumbing problems you’ll face.

Remove the pop-off drain cover and clean any debris. (Warning: it’s gross. Consider wearing gloves).

You can also use an auger to clear the pipe or if you do not have an auger.

Partially straighten a wire hanger and use it to pull up any debris (also gross).

If that doesn’t fix the problem, try using a plunger to loosen debris.

Flushing with baking soda and vinegar will help as well.

Do not use harsh chemical drain cleaners!

They can damage pipes.

If the drain is still running slowly, call a plumber as it can mean you have bigger problems.

2. Running Toilet

Don’t let your money go down the drain with a running toilet!

Most running toilet plumbing problems are fairly easy to fix.

It is usually just a matter of replacing a warped or broken flapper, getting a new chain, or readjusting the float.

3. Jammed Garbage Disposal

While garbage disposals are a convenient appliance, you must treat them with care to keep them running smoothly.

Common causes of a garbage disposal jam include running it without water.

Disposing of inappropriate food items like potato skins and cornhusks or foreign objects like silverware.

If hitting the reset button doesn’t work, you’ll need to break out the tools to fix the jam.

4. Dripping Faucet

Leaky faucets are more than just annoying.

They waste money and water by sending gallons of water down the drain every day. Some causes of a dripping faucet include mineral deposits, corrosion, and broken or failing parts including washers, gaskets, and O-rings.

5. Low Water Pressure

Does your sink give you a drizzle when you need a strong stream of water?

If it is just the hot water, first check to make sure that the hot water heater’s shut off valve is completely open.

When that does not fix the problem, you’ll need a plumber to look at the hot water heater. If you are experiencing low water pressure with cold and hot water, the aerator is likely clogged.

Clean it with vinegar or simply replace it. If your shower is suffering from the low water pressure, soak the showerhead in vinegar.

6. No Hot Water

If you have ever tried to take a shower and found that you have no hot water, you probably have a real appreciation for a properly working water heater.

One of the most common causes of a sudden lack of hot water is the pilot light on a gas water heater going out.

You can follow your water heater’s manual to relight it.

If you get some hot water but not enough, the tank might need to be drained of sediment.

Other possible problems include thermostat issues, a faulty thermocouple, or a faulty pilot.

Water heaters can be dangerous and need to be serviced by a professional.

Other than re-lighting the pilot or draining, they are one plumbing issue best left to the experts.
