A dry or leaking P-trap lets sewer gases escape.

Most older homes that do not have an ABS or PVC sewer line will eventually have this problem. To find out the problem we do video camera inspection.

Yes. Re-piping with ¾ in. type L copper or PEX-a eliminates corrosion, improves flow and removes lead risk. We handle full house conversions with city permit sign-off.

Up-size the municipal water service line to ¾ in. or 1 in. copper for balanced flow throughout the home.

Close the main shut-off, open every faucet top-to-bottom, drain the water heater and boiler, flush toilets and add non-toxic antifreeze to traps if the home will be unheated. Keep a few litres of potable water aside first.

Plumbing systems are designed to prevent foul odors from entering the house by means of the trap attached to fixtures. Traps contain water to seal out foul odors; if the water seal evaporates, the odors enter the house. To solve this problem temporary, pour a bucket of water in each trap, sink, shower and floor drain. This will prevent the odors from entering the house.

The permanent solution call ANTA Technician and he will check plumbing system with CCTV and find the problem.

Fast-closing valves create a pressure surge. Install water-hammer arrestors and secure long pipe runs; our technicians can size and fit the right devices on the spot.

1) Turn off the water supply. Look for a shutoff valve under the sink. If there is not one for the fixture, turn off the water at the main shutoff valve. It may be located near the water meter, in the basement or crawl space.

2) Protect the sink basin against chipping from tools by lining it w/ a towel.

3) As you work, remember to line up the parts in order as you take the faucet apart. This will help you reassemble it correctly.

4) Remove the handle screws (which may be under a decorative button) using a Phillips head or standard blade screwdriver. The handle lifts straight up or out & off.

5) Use adhesive or friction tape around the packing nut to protect it. Remove the packing nut w/ a crescent wrench or pliers.

6) Slip the handle back on the stem & turn the handle to loosen the stem. If the stem doesn’t back out when you turn the handle, use your fingers, pliers or adjustable wrench.

7) Remove the screw at the bottom of the stem. Use penetrating oil, if needed. Remove the old washer & replace w/ a new one of the same size & shape. While the faucet stem is out, you may wish to check the packing, o-ring or packing washer for replacement. Leaks around faucets handles or at the base of the faucet may occur when these parts are worn.

8) Older faucets may use packing, usually a string like material that serves as a washer between the stem & the cap. Remove the old packing & wind new packing string clockwise around the stem to form the seal. If the older faucet uses self-forming packing, a ready-made packing washer that fits may be used as a replacement. Push the packing washer onto the stem as far as it will go & screw the nut over it, clockwise.

9) If the faucet is a newer model, replace the packing washer or o- ring.

10) Clean off all dirt & steel wool residue.

11) Reassemble the faucet. When you tighten the assembly w/ wrench or pliers, don’t use too much pressure. That can strip the threads & cause the faucet to leak.
