Beyond Blockages: Full Plumbing Health Checks

That sinking feeling when the shower runs to ankle-deep or the kitchen sink won’t drain? We’ve all been there!

It is more than simply annoying; it can be a sign of underlying problems that need to be addressed, possibly even an urgent drain repair. But waiting until a problem occurs before reacting is a gamble. As such, a thorough plumbing health check is vital for any homeowner who wants to preserve a safe, effective, and durable plumbing system. In this piece, we’ll explore these hidden dangers lurking in your pipes, the essential stages of a comprehensive plumbing inspection, why this service requires knowledge and respect, and the long-term advantages of preventative maintenance – all of which highlight why to look beyond blockages when it comes to healthy home living.

The Hidden Dangers Beneath your Feet

Now, let’s dive deeper. Many only wait to call a plumber when the water spews everywhere. But that is like waiting for your car’s engine to seize before you check the oil. Your plumbing system is an intricate network. It’s sort of like a circulatory system for your home. Ignoring it creates much bigger problems.

• Corrosion: AC pipes rust and decay with time. Especially the old galvanised ones.
• Pressure problems: Water pressure that is too high or too low indicates deep-seated issues.
• Leaky pipes: Hidden leaks can cause water waste and damage your property.
• Backflow: Dirty water can seep into your potable/source supply.

As a result, it is essential to carry out a full plumbing health check. It is preventative maintenance at its best.

Hands-on: Stories From The Trenches

Let me tell you, recently, I did a job. We received a call from a family in Balmain. Their living room had low water pressure and a constant damp patch. After a detailed inspection, we found a pinhole leak in a pipe behind the wall. The leak had been gradually oozing for months.

Likewise, we used our CCTV drain inspection equipment on a home and discovered  tree roots had penetrated the sewer line. We cleared the root and repaired the pipe, which could have resulted in a primary sewer backup.

Those are just a few examples of how a comprehensive plumbing health check can help save you time, money and stress.
