Garburators
Garburators, also known as garbage disposals, are a popular feature in many kitchens.
Here are some general maintenance tips to help keep your garburator in good working order:
- Run cold water while using the garburator. This helps to solidify any food waste, making it easier to grind up and prevent clogs.
- Only put biodegradable food waste in the garburator. Do not put items such as plastic, metal, glass, or paper in the garburator as they can damage the blades.
- Avoid putting fibrous or hard food waste in the garburator. Items such as celery, corn husks, and bones can damage the blades and cause clogs.
- Clean the garburator regularly to prevent buildup of food waste and odors. You can do this by grinding ice cubes or citrus peels with cold water.
- Use a garbage disposal cleaner periodically to keep your garburator clean and fresh.
- If your garburator is not working properly, do not try to fix it yourself. Contact a professional plumber for assistance.
How Can We Help?
Hot Water Tanks
Over time, hot water tanks can begin to show signs of wear and tear, which can indicate that it’s time for a replacement.
Some signs that it may be time to change your hot water tank include:
- Age: Hot water tanks typically last between 8 and 10 years, after which they may start to break down and become less efficient.
- Leaks: If you notice water pooling around the tank or signs of rust, this may indicate a leak, which can cause damage to your home and lead to water damage.
- No Hot Water: If your hot water tank is no longer producing hot water or the water is not as hot as it used to be, this may indicate a problem with the tank's heating element.
- Strange Noises: If you hear unusual sounds coming from your hot water tank, such as popping or banging, this may indicate a buildup of sediment, which can reduce efficiency and lead to damage.
If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to consider replacing your hot water tank. Our professional plumbers can help you determine the best replacement option for your needs and ensure that the installation is done safely and efficiently. By replacing your old hot water tank with a newer, more efficient model, you can save money on energy costs and ensure that your home has a reliable source of hot water for years to come.
Water Softeners
Water softeners work by removing minerals such as calcium and magnesium from your water through a process called Ion Exchange. As water flows through the water softener, the resin beads in the softener tank exchange sodium ions for the hard water minerals, which are then flushed out of the system.
You may need a water softener if you notice:
- Scale buildup on your faucets, showerheads, or appliances
- Spots on dishes and glasses after washing
- Skin irritation or dryness after bathing
- Clothing that feels stiff or scratchy after washing
- Reduced efficiency or lifespan of water-using appliances
In addition to reducing mineral buildup, a water softener can also improve the taste and smell of your water, making it more enjoyable to drink and cook with. Our professional plumbers can help you determine if a water softener is right for your home and recommend the best system for your needs. By installing a water softener, you can protect your plumbing and appliances, save money on energy costs, and enjoy the benefits of soft, clean water in your home.

Maintenance Tips
Plumbing Lines
How to keep from freezing
Residential plumbing lines can freeze during cold weather which causes them to burst, resulting in water damage.
- Insulating the pipes, particularly those in unheated areas
- Pipes can be insulated with sleeves or heat tape
- Gaps or cracks that allow cold air to enter should be sealed to prevent freezing
- Keeping faucets open slightly during cold weather can allow a slow drip of water and prevent freezing
- When away from the home during the winter months, maintain a minimum temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, turn off the main water supply and drain the pipes to prevent freezing and bursting
Sump Pumps
Preventing Water Damage
- Cleaning the pump and removing debris from the sump pit are important maintenance tasks to ensure proper functioning
- Regular testing of the pump is necessary to ensure it is functioning correctly
- Replacement of the float switch or pump may be necessary if the pump fails to activate
- A backup power source, such as a battery-powered pump, should be available in case of a power outage
- It is recommended to have a professional inspect and service the sump pump annually to detect and address any potential issues
Valves
Preventing Plumbing Emergencies
Valves are an essential component of residential plumbing systems, used to control the flow of water and gas.
- Regular maintenance of valves is crucial to ensure they are functioning correctly
- Ball valves should be checked regularly to ensure the handle turns easily and smoothly
- Gate valves should be checked for leaks and rust, and lubricated periodically to ensure they turn easily
- Check valves should be inspected for signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or leaks
- It is important to know the location of all valves in your home and how to turn them off incase of an emergency
- In the event of a leak or burst pipe, turning off the main water supply valve is crucial to prevent water damage
- It is recommended to have a professional plumber inspect and service valves annually to detect any potential issues and perform necessary repairs or replacements
