Plumbing System

Without a preventive inspection plan, you are at risk for a disaster.

Our Annual Preventative Maintenance Service Inspection

           

Some typical defects in plumbing systems are leaking washers (valve stem seals), leaking/rusted traps and pipes, wastewater/supply-water cross-connections, loose pipes and fixtures, leaking showers, missing plumbing vent on waste line, defected fixture cutoff valves, etc. Any amateur or nonstandard work is considered defective.

This is what we will do:

1. Dye test all toilets. The dye test allows us to determine if there are any leaks in your toilet(s). An undetected toilet leak can increase your water bill by hundreds of Rand in a single year

2. Check faucets for leaks. A leaky faucet can waste hundreds liters of water over a period of time and can cause damage to the faucet fixture.

3. Check all exposed hot and cold water supply lines. Supply lines can deteriorate and rupture. We will check for signs of deterioration and leaks.

4. Check all sink piping. Sink and basin traps can become corroded and cause plumbing problems.

5. Check fixture drains. Drains which are not used all the time or have a slow flow of waste, may become plugged and need to be cleaned.

6. Check washing machine hoses. A washing machine hose may become loose or deteriorate over time. We will check all connections and piping.

7. Electric Water Heater

1) Inspect operation of elements.    2) Inspect Thermostat     9) Check the condition of geyser support beams.
