If you’re going to remodel a bathroom in your home, you should upgrade your plumbing as well. Here are five reasons why this is a job that you should not fail.
A bathroom remodel is all about change. If you choose to leave your plumbing the way it is, you might run into problems that could bring your plans to a halt. However, if you have a plumber on your team, new opportunities will arise, and you can be more flexible with your blueprints. For example, you could place a tub in a new location or move your sink to a different spot that has better lighting.
Not only can one plumbing mistake cause clogs, pipe damage, or leaks, but it can also lead to a high utility bill. When a plumbing system is updated or upgraded during a bathroom remodel by a plumber, he will take the lead. If any problems arise, the plumber will handle it.
During a bathroom remodel, there should never be any guesswork. If there is any uncertainty, you could accidently misalign a pipe and trigger a slow leak.
With help from a plumber, you can prevent disasters. A professional knows how to work around existing plumbing and how to incorporate new pipes correct way.
Newer products are far more efficient than older, outdated products. This means that if you replace an old water heater with a new one that’s Energy Star certified, it can significantly decrease your utility bill. However, in order to take full advantage of an energy-efficient appliance, you’ll have to set it up correctly, and this is why it pays to hire a plumber.
If you plan to sell your home in the future, new plumbing can be very beneficial. When potential buyers scout new homes, they should consider the state of its plumbing system. An inspector will likely check for leaks, the condition of the water heater and pipes, the water pressure, and the main sewer line. Faulty plumbing can be a deal breaker because it can lead to bigger issues for new owners later on.
Don’t let a plumbing problem derail your bathroom remodel. If you need a plumber for any reason, contact the Plumbing Doctor at www.plumbingdoctornj.com.
Many do not realize the dangers of putting oil down the drain. Although you may not develop an immediate clog, fats can line your pipes over time and cause significant blockages. Fats mix with hair and soap and form formidable clogs that are impossible to remove without professional intervention. By avoiding sending grease down your drains, you could save hundreds of dollars and many headaches. Learning to avoid putting grease down the drain can help you prevent clogs and keep your plumbing lines running smoothly and effectively. We can help you determine the cause of clogs and prevent them.
The number one cause of sewer drain clogs is FOG (fats, oils, and grease). Not only can putting oil down the drain negatively impact your plumbing system, but it can also cause harm to your neighbors and the environment. When you send oil down the drain, it mixes with wastewater from your neighbors and the community. As it travels through the pipes, it breaks into glycerol and fatty acids and mixes with calcium. The soapy consistency of these blobs makes them challenging to remove because they can grow to enormous sizes.
Fatbergs, as the city calls them, cost thousands of dollars to remove and prevent the city from carrying out proper water treatment tasks. Preventative measures are critical for protecting everyone’s water supply.
While it is impossible to avoid all grease, there are alternatives to sending oil down the drain. We recommend the following to our customers to help them keep their drains running smoothly:
