The professionals you call when you have any concerns about supply of potable water, drain cleaning, sewer repair, installation and repair of bathroom and toilet fixtures, etc., are your local plumbers. Plumbing contractors are hired to do installations, diagnosis and repair work of your plumbing system. When you hire a plumber, look for someone with a good reputation and long experience in his or her chosen field. Contractors that use high-tech equipment may charge more, but using devices like hydro jetting, trenchless technology or in-line video camera equipment can result in less excavation and disturbance on your property and result in an overall more cost-effective solution to your problem .
Experienced plumbers will take the best measures to ensure you get an eco-friendly, sound and lasting solution to your plumbing issues. In California and areas prone to earthquakes, local contractors should take care to carry out earthquake strapping to installations like water heaters and tanks that are likely to explode if there is an emergency. When installing water heaters and other appliances utmost care should be taken to ensure safety, to minimize damage to life and property if there is a disaster.
If you have a collapsed duct, sewer or blockage that you are unable to locate what do you do? Your plumbers may use high-tech equipment like camera technology to locate the blockages, intrusions and collapses in storm drains and sanitary sewerage systems. Camera technology may be fiber optic reel mounted or mounted on robots to identify and pinpoint any lateral tap, intrusion, clog or collapse correctly. This technology not only saves time it also saves inconvenience and prevents the need for plumbers to excavate the pipe to locate the lapses.
Other high-tech methods that modern plumbers use include hydro jetting and trenchless technology to replace or repair the lining of sewerage pipes and make them water and air tight.
To avoid plumbing emergencies home owners can practice certain ways to ensure the optimum functioning of their pipes and other plumbing accessories. Drains should be mechanically unclogged whenever possible using a plunger or snake. Chemicals should be used sparingly as they often corrode pipes and traps made of cast iron, steel or brass. Pouring a cup of baking soda and then a cup of vinegar down your drains sometimes, might be an effective and environmentally friendly way to keep your drains unclogged. Use lint traps in washing machines. Do not dispose of greasy, fatty substances in your kitchen disposal unit. Bones, coffee grindings, corn husks, artichokes and onion skins should not be disposed of or you might end up clogging the disposal and having to call the plumbers.
