Plumbing problems and solutions we apply

Plumbing problems and solutions we apply

Hundreds of things can go wrong in the plumbing system due to its vastness. You also have to consider that different plumbing systems come with elements that don’t mix with each other.

Now, many people tend to learn a bit about plumbing and fix small issues without calling for help. This is a smart thing as any intervention by a company will cost you money, no matter the extent of the work. But not every issue can be dealt with swiftly and efficiently. Some of those are better left to professionals.

In this post, we will talk about some plumbing issues and how we deal with them. This isn’t a guide to teach you how to fix them as we won’t share a lot of detailed info about the same. If you want to learn how to fix problems you find in this post, then do some additional research.

How we deal with leaking water heaters

This is one of the major problems that can cause a lot of damage. On the other hand, it isn’t too hard to fix it. With a bit of knowledge you can do it without any help from us or any other plumbing company.

Several different things cause this issue. It can either be the result of bad plumbing, the age of plumbing elements, poor maintenance or high pressure (too high for pipes). There could also be a combination of these that can cause it as well. The point is that pipes will break if you don’t maintain them on a regular basis.

The repair process starts with shutting off the water and emptying the boiler. Pipes must be drained as well as that will allow the plumber to work on everything. If the cause of the leak is the age, then the whole boiler and accompanying pipes have to be replaced.Many high-quality heaters and pipes last between ten and fourteen years, so it’s smart to replace it before the leak happens. If you bought low-quality boiler (or pipes), then their longevity is around half of the high-quality products.

We tend to replace pipes that broke instead of patching them up. This is a bit more expensive option, but it is a long-term solution. Patching up pipes and boilers isn’t a long-term solution, and it will break again in a matter of months. If the leak is located between the tube and the furnace, then some insulation can help.
The final step is the test. We tend to let water and gas to run through the system and check whether the repair worked. If it did then the only thing left is to clean the area.

Long-term solutions are best left for professionals

You can patch up a leaking boiler or anything else, but that is a short-term fix. You should do this only to prevent any damage until a professional arrives. You should call us (or another plumbing company if you don’t live in an area we cover) as soon as possible to prevent any future breakdowns.

Different plumbing system types we install

You might have had an idea that every plumbing system is same. Well, that is wrong as there are both subtle and not-so-subtle differences between those systems. Now, part of our company deals with installation, repair, and maintenance of the plumbing networks in buildings. This is loosely connected to our primary work about which you can read on https://www.centralgassafety.co.uk.

In this post, we won’t discuss gas boilers. Instead of that, we will talk about plumbing and what makes one system different, or better than another. Differences might be subtle, but one or two of those changes you can do to your plumbing system can cost over a couple of thousand dollars (if you are a landlord).

Breakdown of the plumbing system

PlumbingThe fundamental element of every plumbing system is an underground tank that contains water that has to be supplied to apartments. The first choice a landlord has it the way that water is delivered to flats. The first option is to install pipes that will distribute the water and the second option is to use pumps for the same work. This choice might force you to fit additional elements to provide an uninterrupted supply of water to all apartments.

Overhead tank is also an essential piece of this plumbing puzzle, but you can avoid it through the usage of the special pumps. They are called hydro-pneumatic pumps, and they will keep the pressure in the pipe system up. This will allow a decent pressure whenever an individual opens a tap. Pumps that belong to this group have a small tank that is divided into two parts, one that holds the water and the other that contains air. The rubber membrane that separates those two will expand as the compressed air pushes it to the part with the water. This will create additional water pressure that will force water into the system and to the tap.

Drainage systems and how they differ

A normal drainage system isn’t suited for grease, and thus there are ways to remove it. The whole drainage system divides the waste into water and other elements, and therefore it prevents clogging. A grease trap is an excellent piece of the entire system that prevents grease from entering the said piping. You have to remove it on a daily basis, and this can be only done manually.

Municipal government drainage collects all the waste that is created in your building. But this isn’t always the case as some areas of the city aren’t connected to the same. This is where private septic tanks come into the play. Every building that isn’t related to government drainage has to have a closed basin.

Where does the waste go?

Up until several years ago, all waste was dumped on either planned or unplanned waste disposal locations. This endangered the nature and thus the change came in the form of sewage treatment facilities. These facilities accept wastewater and purify it. The said water is returned to the system as it is 100% free from all waste factors.
