Bathroom and Kitchen Plumbing
A functional kitchen is the centerpiece of any home, and a well-maintained plumbing system is essential to its operation. You need clean water from the tap to wash and prepare food, a good draining system to dispose of wastewater, and a working dishwasher for quick and easy cleanup.
Similarly, a well-functioning bathroom is crucial for any household. Toilet installation is often necessary when the water puddles on the floor whenever you flush, when there’s a crack in your tank, or if it is simply old and you’re looking for a more water-efficient toilet.
Shower installation is also common when there’s low water pressure, faulty temperature control, or if you want to upgrade your bathroom.
A good plumbing system will help:
- Reduce your water bill
- Prevent leaks and water damage
- Increase the longevity of your appliances
- Improve overall functionality and convenience
Kitchen and plumbing work will take roughly one to about four hours or more. An expert can quickly fix a leaky faucet or clogged drain, but a bathroom remodel will take longer. Also, factors such as the location, material of the pipes, and the need for additional construction work can affect the timeframe.
Regarding overall maintenance of your plumbing system, at the very least, you should have it serviced once every two years. It should include inspecting all visible pipes, checking for leaks and corrosion, and replacing worn-out parts. Moreover, regular plumbing maintenance can prevent major issues from arising in the future.
Remember also to monitor your water pressure and temperature regularly. Low pressure can indicate a clogged pipe or a problem with the water main, while high pressure can damage your appliances and pipes over time. Adjusting the temperature of your hot water heater can also help prevent scalding accidents and increase energy efficiency.
