How Frequently Should You Schedule Plumbing Maintenance?

Your plumbing system needs regular maintenance from a trusty plumber to keep it flowing freely!

We recommend scheduling a plumbing tune-up at least once a year. This helps ensure all your pipes and drains are in tip-top shape. Our preventative maintenance can detect tiny problems before they become full-blown plumbing disasters requiring costly repairs!

But don’t wait for your annual appointment if you notice any of these issues:

• Slow drains: This could be caused by a build-up of hair, soap scum, or other debris in the pipes.
• Fluctuating water pressure: This can indicate a leak, a problem with the pressure regulator valve, or even issues with the city’s water supply.
• Leaky faucets or pipes: Even a small leak can waste a lot of water and lead to mould growth or water damage.
• Foul odours from drains: This can be caused by a clog, a dry P-trap (the U-shaped pipe under your sink that traps sewer gases), or even a ventilation issue.
• Noisy pipes: Banging, knocking, or whistling pipes can be a sign of loose pipes, water hammer (a pressure surge when a faucet is shut off too quickly), or even air trapped in the system.
• Discolored water: This could be caused by rust, corrosion, mineral build-up, or even problems with the water heater.
• Increase in water bills: This can be a sign of a leak or other problem that is causing water to be wasted.
• Toilets requiring multiple flushes: This could be due to a low water level in the tank, a clogged drain, or a faulty flapper valve.

In addition to annual checkups, consider scheduling more frequent maintenance if:

• Your home is older: Older homes are more likely to have problems with their plumbing systems due to worn-out pipes and fixtures.
• You have a lot of trees around your home: Tree roots can damage sewer lines and water main lines.
• You have hard water: Hard water can lead to mineral build-up in your pipes, which can eventually cause clogs.

By being proactive about plumbing maintenance in Toronto, you can save yourself time, money, and frustration in the long run.

Keeping Your Plumbing in Tip-Top Shape

Don’t wait for plumbing disasters – prevent them! 

Here are pro tips to maintain your plumbing system and avoid costly repairs:

• Strainers and screens: Use sink strainers and tub drain screens to catch hair and food particles.
• Inspect fixtures: Check faucets, showerheads, and toilets for leaks and replace worn parts. Swap out outdated, leaky fixtures for new water-efficient models.
• Check pipes: Inspect exposed pipes for corrosion, cracks, and leaks. Address issues early.
• Monitor water pressure: Ensure water pressure is in the safe 60-80 PSI range. We can help adjust it.
