3 Reasons you Need to Call a Plumber

There’s always a reason to call a plumber if you are a homeowner invested in proper maintenance of your plumbing. However, we usually only think of them during an emergency because that’s when we need a fix right away. While it may be impossible to avoid plumbing faults entirely, it would help to have the knowledge and understanding of why they happen and what needs to be done to fix them. That’s the purpose of this quick guide. We aim to give you three typical scenarios where you’ll need us and how a professional can step in to assist you. 

3 reasons you need to call a plumber

• Blocked Pipes

Master Plumber Services is a Melbourne plumber that regularly has to deal with this common issue. Drain clogs are often caused by things like hair, soap or food build-up, tree roots, and items that shouldn’t be flushed down the toilet. Many of us are tempted to use tools that poke away at our plumbing or use commercial chemicals to deal with it, but we can assure you this isn’t the best way to remove blockages safely. You’ll need professional drain inspection and unclogging work from a pro to protect your plumbing while safely removing the blockage. 

• Installing new plumbing fixtures

Whether it is for your highly anticipated bathroom renovation plans or fixing a faulty sink in your backyard, you’ll need a professional plumber anytime you need to install a plumbing fixture or appliance. Any fixtures that require connection to your water supply will need the help of an expert before you’re able to use them. This is another typical job we’re used to doing and it isn’t a very expensive job. So, don’t hesitate to call your local plumber and they can help you install your plumbing items with ease. 

• No hot water

Many properties across Melbourne rely on hot water systems as their trusted water heating solution. Faults with your hot water systems, and the cases where they are unable to get the water hot enough, can come from a handful of issues. One of them depends on the type of system you use and if it runs on gas or electricity and this can change how we’ll approach the repair process. If your water isn’t as hot as it should be, it’s always best to call a plumbing company and they can get things back to a normal temperature again.

How to prevent typical plumbing faults?

These are the most common reasons that locals have to call a plumber. Two out of the three mentioned above are a fault that can be prevented if you invest in proper maintenance and inspection work. You can never be too careful when it comes to plumbing or pipe problems in your home. You should dedicate some time and money to protect your plumbing because you’ll also be protecting your home from things like water damage or otherwise when disaster strikes. 

What are drain/pipe inspections?

This will be a pre-arranged agreement between you and your local plumbing expert which usually happens on an annual basis. The professional will arrive on-site and check your drainpipes to see if there are problems which require additional work. There are a couple of routine tests they may perform to determine this, and this is ultimately to give you useful and legitimate advice. Outside of inspection services, you should also recognize when you need the expertise of a professional in general plumbing usage. Blocked drains are an emergency if you spot puddles, strong odours, or gurgling sounds in the pipes. These are all signs that immediate intervention is needed and if left too long can cause unnecessary problems and further damage down the line. Our expert drain inspection team is always available to attend to your plumbing maintenance problems in the greater Melbourne area. Master Plumber Services is a trusted expert in this regard, and we offer a range of other important plumbing services too. With us, you can even benefit from our no-call-out fee guarantee which can come in handy if you have a potentially expensive problem on your hands.
