Summer Plumbing Tips

 

It’s the time of the year where the heat is overwhelming—summertime! Shaul’s is a local plumbing contractor in New Westminster BC that provides quality plumbing services in New Westminster BC.

More heat means more water, and more water means double or even extra double usage of your plumbing pipes! This means that summer is the time to give extra attention to your plumbing system. If you’re looking for a reliable heating contractor in New Westminster BC, Shaul’s is the one. We offer professional heating services in New Westminster BC.

Shaul’s Plumbing and Heating, Ltd. can help you attend to your system for inspection and maintenance with the following tips.

• Turn the temperature of your water heater down when you’re going on vacation. This saves energy and money while you’re away. 
• Check the sewer line pipes. Stormwater and root growth from trees can congest and strain your pipes. This can cause the sewer line to back up. Call us at 778-397-4850 for your sewer line pipes to be inspected by our fully qualified plumbers.
• Watch what you throw down the kitchen garbage disposal. Discards that can cause clogs such as cornhusks, watermelon rinds, and other stringy and fatty foods and grease should rather be thrown into the trash or compost pile. 
• Visually inspect the washing machine hoses for leaks, cracks, or bulging from excessive use. It’s advisable to replace hoses at least once every three years or better yet change them to braided steel hoses for extra peace of mind. If a problem arises, it’s best to call in a plumber.
• Check if your sprinklers are working properly and are not leaking. A damaged sprinkler system can waste water and cause flooding. Make repairs as necessary.
• Make sure your toilets are functioning well. Check for any funny noise or jiggled handle that needs repairing. If you have kids, teach them to not throw toilet paper and other things that could clog the toilet.
