Drain Maintenance
Drains are unquestionably one of the most important plumbing components in the home. Without drains, water would have nowhere to go and your toilets, sinks, showers, washing machines, and water heaters would have a hard time working properly. That’s why a clogged drain can have such an impact on your daily routine. Luckily, regular drain maintenance can prevent most problems before they occur—and the plumbers at your local A+ Plumbing & Rootering just happen to be drain experts.

Home Plumbing System Inspection
The plumbing in your home is a complicated network of connected pipes, valves, drains, and taps that work together to keep water flowing.

In order to make sure your plumbing keeps running smoothly, regular home plumbing system inspections are recommended.

Why Does My Drain Get Clogged?
All plumbing systems develop clogs over time, there’s really just no way around it. One of the most common plumbing problems we get calls on is when there is a slow-moving or clogged drain in the bathroom sink. Fortunately, a bathroom sink clog is usually a simple fix and all you need to get the sink draining properly again is a little time and the right tools.
How Can I Prevent Leaking Pipes?
Plumbing leaks can be expensive, not to mention an inconvenience. Turning your water supply off at the stopcock is the best way to prevent a leak from seriously damaging your home. It’s also good to have emergency home cover so you can limit repair costs and get expert help right away.
How Can I Tell If My Toilet Needs to Be Replaced?
Yes, they do. After years of use, the mechanical parts of a toilet will wear out. For example, rubber flappers will dry out, crack, and leak. The harder your water is, the worse it is on metal components like pull chains. Mineral deposits will also reduce the flow of water through the rim holes under the lip of the toilet bowl. Regular cleaning and routine care will go a long way to improve your toilet’s function.
