How To Prevent Plumbing Problems - Plumber Toronto

Common plumbing problems can be prevented if proper maintenance is adhered to. Homeowners can do a lot to prevent plumbing problems on a daily basis. It doesn’t matter if you are in a new home or old one, a homeowner must be aware of the signs of impending problems and be proactive.

Homeowners should have a toolbox that has the basic plumbing tools. Being prepared for the problems could save you time and money in the future. One of the first items you should have in a plumbing tool kit is a plumbing snake/auger. This is a device that is great for removing clogs from drainpipes. Secondly get a set of adjustable wrenches in various sizes. A basin wrench will undoubtedly come in very handy for reaching pipes in the small area behind the sink. Teflon tape and PVC glue will round out the kit. With these few items you can fix a small problem before it gets out of hand.

The number one plumbing problem is having repairs done by someone who was not qualified. Poorly installed parts and pipes can cause incalculable problems for you in the future. Calling in professionals like those at Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing can save you money in the future.
Toilet clogs are generally the result of flushing things that should not be flushed. Feminine hygiene products are the biggest culprits. It can also be that you try to flush too much toilet tissue. Hair and other particles should not be disposed of in the toilet.
Home improvement projects take a toll on plumbing especially pipes. It is important that you locate all the pipes behind a wall before you begin to drill or put nails into it.
Cold climate living has its own problems. Frozen pipes is just one of them. you can prevent this problem by insulating outdoor and basement pipes.
The ball being adjusted too high or too low can cause not enough flushing power. This is a simple fix and by adjusting the ball so that the water goes to fill level that is clearly marked inside the tank.

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!

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.

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.

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.
