Tips for Common Plumbing Issues

Explore our site for in-depth information on specific topics, but below are a few tips for a number of common household plumbing problems.

Fix a Leaking Faucet

Has your faucet sprung a leak? Have you perhaps considered upgrading your faucets? Do you want to make sure you won’t have leaks in the future by upgrading your faucet?

The constant dripping of leaking faucets is not just annoying, it’s very bad for the environment and your water budget. Did you know that leaks in households can waste more than one trillion gallons of water annually? A single household wastes approximately 10,000 gallons of water per year. Another 10% of houses suffer persistent leaks, which waste ninety gallons or more a day.

The numbers are startling, which is why repairing faucets is one of the most important home improvement repairs to do. Here are some things to remember.

• Remember to check your water bill regularly. Does it seem to be increasing abnormally? If there is an increase it could be a sign of a leak.
• Also, you can check the water meter, but remember to not use any water in your home for about two hours after checking the meter, due to water still flowing in the pipes. Do a second check two hours later to see if it has changed. A leak may cause fluctuations, especially when they are severe.
• You know that you should have your faucet repaired if it drips even after being turned off. If you are checking for leaks, you can check other areas around your home at the same time. Identifying the source of the leak requires determining whether water is being wasted first.

If you do find any leaks in your home, all you need to do is give Anta Plumbing & Drain Services a call and one of our friendly top-rated plumbers will be able to advise you further.

Finding the Right Toilet

When it comes to choosing a toilet, an Anta Plumbing & Drain Services certified licensed plumber can provide you with a series of questions you should ask. For example, what are your best options in terms of brand, model, size, and colour?

The typical toilet consists of a tank and a bowl which are connected by bolts during installation. However, in some models, the bowl and the tank are combined in one piece. The type of toilet you choose will be determined by your budget, as they vary in designs.

Even though toilets look similar, their dimensions, widths, and heights may vary. Keep this in mind when choosing the right toilet for you. It is easier to fit smaller, rounder toilets in smaller spaces, as opposed to elongated ones, which take up more floor space. Residential and commercial properties benefit from both types due to their pros and cons.

During toilet installation it is very important to line up the new toilet with the existing drain found under the toilet’s base. As it can prove to be an extremely costly mistake, this is where the Anta Plumbing & Drain Services team comes in. We can do the installation for you at a competitive rate, and if a bigger toilet model is required, we can order that for you too.

Use of Drain Snakes or Drain Augers

Also known as a plumbing snake or drain auger, drain snakes are used to unclog drains. Plumbing snakes come in many types for commercial and residential use. They can also be used with different types of bits that can be attached to the cable. In addition to motor-powered snakes, we use a variety of cables that are attached to the bit. Machines of this type may be dangerous if handled improperly by untrained personnel.

Every one of Anta Plumbing & Drain Services’ technicians are thoroughly trained on how to use the best bits and cables depending on the application.

Drain Cleaning Tips

The following tips are good practices to remember to keep your drains clean.

• It’s a good idea to run hot water down the drain once a week to prevent blockages from forming.
• Make sure you cover or block the overflow opening in the sink when plunging the bathroom drain.
• By not using your garbage disposal as a trash can, you will keep it clean.
• The caustic nature of commercial drain cleaners can burn your skin or eyes, because they contain lye. It is best to avoid using one, but if you must, don’t plunge a drain after using the drain cleaner.
• The use of compressed air is sometimes used to remove blockages from drains. If your pipes are damaged by the compressed air blast, then you won’t be able to use these products. Avoid it at all costs and rather call Anta Plumbing & Drain Services.

Anta’s Plumbing Guide for Emergencies

Here is a quick guide for actions you can take if you have not managed to locate a plumber yet and you have a plumbing emergency:

• Close the main shutoff valve to cut off your home’s water supply.
• Shut off the boiler and water heater with the gas or electricity.
• The water should be sucked out of the bathtub, the dishwasher, or the clothes washer.
• Open the boiler’s drain faucet, allowing the hot water to drain into the floor drain. Once the radiator valves are open, drain all of your hot water. Next, remove an air vent from a radiator on the top floor so that the water drains into the boiler while air is being replaced by the water.
• Beginning at the top, turn on all hot and cold water faucets, including those in the bathtubs, showers, and outside, as well as flush every toilet.
• If you have a water heater or water treatment equipment, open the drain faucets on them. In addition, open the drain faucet on the main supply line to release any remaining water.

To avoid another midnight plumbing emergency, remember to contact Anta Plumbing & Drain Services immediately once you have removed any potential risk factors for water damage.
