Even though you can always rely on the qualified plumbing professionals if you are unsure about something, there are a few basic things that most people have to know about their plumbing. These are four of the basic facts that most people should know.

1. Know how to shut off your water

Most of the time, you will be able to shut the water off to your home at the meter. The meter is where your water comes into the home, and there might be a separate shut off in the house and at the meter. You should know where these valves are and how you operate them. This is important to know in case of a major leakage, because otherwise you will have more flooding damage than was necessary.

2. Learn how to read the water meter and the water bill

You want to make sure that you are not being charged more than you should have to pay. Make sure that you know how to read your water bill and your water meter. The water company will always be more than happy to explain anything that might be unclear on your water bill.

3. Know how the water coming into your home

You should always keep the water pressure under 80 psi. The primary reason that people have plumbing leaks in their home is because of high water pressure. You can buy a water pressure gauge relatively cheaply, and it can save you a great deal of money. If you are not sure how to check it yourself, you can always ask the water company to check it for you.

4. Calling the professionals

Even if you have a decent understanding of your home plumbing, chances are that you will still run into things that you do not understand. In that event, make sure that you call the professionals at Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services. They know how to handle any plumbing issue and they will be able to assist you quickly and efficiently.

Plumbing Testimonials:

Frank, Beaches

I used Dr.Pipe Drain and Plumbing to renovate all the plumbing in the old house I bought in the beaches. They were able to identify problems quickly, resolve them and prevent them from ever happening again. All of my neighbours suffer from leaking basements and no water pressure, but not to me thanks to this crew. I would recommend them to anybody.

Vladimir, Richmond Hill

Dealing with Dr. Pipe was one of those rare experience when you feel good paying your money. They responded immediately to my phone call and within an hour were at my place. After a quick no obligation analysis they identified source of the problem and offered economical solution. I agreed and in no time our drain worked like it is supposed to. Max was very service oriented and defensibly knows his stuff. I am recommending them to all of my friends and family now.

Anna, Richmond Hill

Rains were crazy last falls and my basement got flooded. I was desperately looking for a company that will waterproof my old home in Toronto for a reasonable amount of money and do it right. Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing did just that, they started by telling me to relax on the phone and by taking care of my problem very quickly. They installed new weeping tiles around my house and since that time there was not a single drop that landed in my basement. Thanks guys!

Helene, North York

My husband and I hired Max and his team to upgrade pool mechanical room in our house. Everybody who gave us an estimate, before them said it was very complicated and will cost at least $80000. Cost of HYDRO and Natural Gas and maintenance with old mechanical room was $2500 per month. Max’s team was able to upgrade the systems in pool mechanical room for way, and I mean way lower that quoted by others and we only pay couple of hundred dollars per month now. I am so glad we called them before making our final decesion.
