Mississauga Plumber
When to call a Mississauga Plumber professional
Every home owner or renter has had a few instances where they need a quick plumbing fix. Just about all of us have a few tools around the house to help us cope with minor issues. You don’t always need a plumber, like to fix a clogged toilet. A good old plunger and some elbow grease are usually enough to do the trick. Some of your plumbing needs may be a little more complicated or dangerous to tackle without the knowledge and expertise. If you feel the job is too much to handle just hire a Mississauga plumber.
Plumbing Maintenance
Plumbing maintenance is the number one way to prevent costly repairs. A regular maintenance schedule should be followed for the best results. The key here is to catch the small problems before they grow. Issues tend to sneak up on you, but if you are checking your plumbing systems routinely, they will be found before they can cause any more damage.
If you happen to be handy around the house this maintenance check can be done by yourself if you know what to look for. Whether you’ve done the check yourself and found an issue, or have opted to call a professional to check for you, a certified Mississauga plumber can give you an in depth inspection and explanation. When performing an inspection the professionals will check your entire home’s plumbing system. These thorough checks include garbage disposals, water heaters, filter systems, lead testing, and remote video pipe inspections.
After performing an inspection it is advised that you remove and clean all shower heads and aerators. If you decided to hire a licensed professional, this will be done for you. Other duties your certified technician can perform include:
- Cleaning garbage disposals and water heaters
- Water pressure assessment and adjustment
- Pressure tests to detect hairline cracks(and eventually leaks)
- Drain treatment to maximize flow and prevent clogs
Common Plumbing Repairs
Common Plumbing repair jobs are usually simple to fix, but there are a few that are better left to professional plumbers. At the first sight of a clogged drain you run to the hardware store and get drain cleaner. The chemicals in the cleaner corrode some pipes if used too frequently. If you are getting clogs consistently, it’s time to call a Mississauga plumber.
Leaky pipes are an easy fix for the average handy man. Replacing a U- Joint under a sink is pretty simple (and pretty messy). Calling a plumber could save you the clean up. Replacing the fitting is a temporary fix though. A more permanent solution would be to replace a length of the pipe or the fittings. A licensed plumber would need to do this.
Some jobs are just too big for you to handle alone. Hire Mississauga plumber company John the Plumber to assess and/or repair the plumbing system in your home. Both ignoring the problem and trying to fix it yourself could end up costing you a ton of your time and your money. Peace of mind is priceless.
