Not every issue with plumbing equipment constitutes a true emergency. When time is of the essence, no which situations require a call to an emergency plumber. here are some of the more common plumbing issues that qualify as plumbing emergencies:
Do you know what to do if a plumbing emergency happens in your home? Anytime you have a water leak, whether it is cold water or hot water, you want to close the valve on the water supply pipe as soon as possible. Doing so well prevent more water from spilling out into your home, raising the potential for water damage.
If you have a fixture leaking, like a toilet or faucets, individual shut-off valves are typically located underneath or behind these fixtures, and closing them will disconnect water to this equipment only. If water pipes leak throughout the home, it’s best to close the shut-off valves on the main plumbing pipe that supplies water to your home. This is typically located near the point where add pipe enters your home from the municipal water line or your private well.
Some homeowners are more than capable of completing certain plumbing installation and repair work around the house. If you have the skills necessary to do so, performing these tasks on your own can be a successful DIY project.
For Columbus area homeowners who do not have detailed knowledge of or experience working with plumbing systems, it’s best to leave this work to professionals. It doesn’t matter how big or small your repair or installation is – a plumber is always available to help make sure the work is performed correctly.
Sometimes do-it-yourself projects can start off easy but grow to be more complicated down the line. Whether you’re replacing pipes for your water service, changing fittings, or replacing faucets and other fixtures, don’t hesitate to reach out to a plumber if you have trouble. The plumbers at Buckeye Heating, Cooling & Plumbing are always ready to help out when needed and will ensure the job is completed correctly so that no damage is done to your home or to your plumbing supplies.
Certain plumbing problems occur over time as a part of normal use and wear-and-tear such as corrosion of galvanized steel pipe, copper pipe, and pipe fittings, or a drain that has become clogged. Even so, there are things you can do to help maintain the home’s plumbing infrastructure and minimize these problems. Below are a few maintenance tips that will help you avoid many common plumbing issues around the house.
If you have a tank-style water heater, these water heaters require annual flushing to remove debris such as rust and mineral deposits that settle in the tank and cause corrosion as well as reduced energy efficiency.
If you are not in the regular habit of flushing your water heater, don’t start to do so all of the sudden if the system is older. Suddenly flushing the water heater after years of deposit buildup can lead to leaks and water damage to the floor and wood construction materials in the house.
Reset the water heater’s thermostat to 120 degrees or lower. Doing so will help the appliance save energy and prevent burns due to scolding hot water.
For many homeowners, their first instinct is to place a call to a plumber if a part of the plumbing system is not working correctly. However, some issues are quite minor and can actually be fixed with a little elbow grease if you know how to do so. Attempting minor plumbing repairs yourself before calling in a professional can save you significant time as well as money.
Buckeye Heating, Cooling & Plumbing’s plumbers offer some expert advice for fixing minor plumbing issues around the house. Give these tips a try before you call us and schedule a repair appointment – you could fix the problem with no wait and save extra money too.
If the flow rate of a leak is minor, you may be able to fix it using fiberglass tape or plumbing putty. These products can help put an end to leaks around fixtures and fittings temporarily, saving water until you are able to have professional repairs made. If you notice wet spots that indicate a leak behind a wall in your house, under the floor, or in the attic, this is a situation where you’ll want to call a plumber right away.
Clogged drains can limit or stop the use of your sinks and fixtures. Minor clogs can be removed using a few different methods.
Does your toilet continue to run and wastewater? If so, give the handle a little jiggle to see if this will close a flapper that has jammed in the open position.
If the toilet is still running, remove the lid and look inside the tank. Check the chain that attaches the flapper to the flush handle – it may be kinked or wrapped around a component, preventing it from closing the flapper.
Check the toilet float and float arm. If it is positioned above the waterline, bend the arm slightly downward so that the float sits atop the water. This should shut off the water supply.
If these solutions don’t stop your toilet from running, the flapper which closes the opening between the tank and bowl may not be forming a good seal. Feel for debris around the opening that could be preventing a seal. If the flapper is cracked, it will need to be replaced.
Do you experience low water pressure from faucets or shower heads? This can be caused by mineral deposits that build up in the fittings and fixtures over time due to the flow water. Removing these deposits can restore water flow and good water pressure.
For shower heads, add a cup of white vinegar to a plastic bag and fit the bag over the shower head, closing at with a rubber band. Leave this device to soak overnight. The vinegar should dissolve the minerals and remove them from shower heads to restore normal water pressure.
Sink faucets often have attached fittings called aerators which add air to water flow for efficiency. Aerators can become clogged due to minerals as well. These fittings can be removed from faucets and cleaned using a toothbrush or soaked in vinegar.
