Before the onset of winter in Perth, it’s essential to perform some plumbing and gas checks to ensure your home or business is safe and prepared for the colder months ahead. Here are some plumbing and gas checks you should consider.
- Check for Leaks: Check for any leaks in your pipes, faucets, and toilets. Even small leaks can cause significant damage if left unchecked. Look for signs of moisture or dampness around your fixtures and check for any unusual noises or hissing sounds.
- Inspect Water Heater: Inspect your water heater for any signs of damage or leaks. Ensure the temperature and pressure relief valve is working correctly, and the tank is free of sediment buildup.
- Check Sump Pump: If you have a sump pump, test it to make sure it’s working correctly. Pour water into the sump pump pit to ensure the pump turns on and effectively removes water.
- Inspect Insulation: Inspect your home’s insulation, especially around pipes and water heaters. Ensure your insulation is in good condition and replace any damaged insulation.
- Inspect Drainage: Check the drainage system around your home or business. Make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris to prevent any water damage caused by overflowing gutters. Also, ensure your outdoor drainage system is clear of any debris and is working correctly.
- Inspect Gas Lines: Inspect your gas lines for any leaks. Use a gas detector to check for any leaks in your home or business. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, leave the premises immediately and call a licensed plumber.
- Check Heating System: Have your heating system serviced by a licensed HVAC technician. Regular maintenance can help prevent breakdowns and prolong the life of your system.
It’s essential to perform some plumbing and gas checks to ensure your home or business is safe and ready for the colder months ahead. By performing these checks, you can prevent potential issues and ensure your plumbing and gas systems are working correctly.
