Advantages of Choosing New Plumbing Installation

Installing new plumbing: 

  • Improves functionality. Aging pipes and fixtures can become corroded or worn out over time, leading to leaks, clogs, and reduced water pressure. By replacing old components with new ones, homeowners can enjoy a more efficient and reliable plumbing system.
  • Increases the resale value of a home. Buyers are often attracted to properties with updated plumbing systems, as it gives them peace of mind knowing they may not have to deal with costly plumbing repairs or replacements in the near future.
  • Lead to lower utility bills. Old plumbing systems may have leaks or inefficiencies that result in water wastage. Furthermore, outdated fixtures and appliances may be less energy efficient. 

Between the prospect of lower utility bills in the short term and higher resale values in the long term, it’s well possible that the costs of a plumbing installation could be more than recouped over time. 

Types of Plumbing Systems

The complexity of a plumbing system can be underscored by the fact there are different types of what are effectively sub-systems, each serving a different function: 

  • Stormwater Drainage: The stormwater drainage system is designed to collect and remove rainwater or melted snow from various surfaces, notably the roof. It helps to prevent flooding and excess water buildup. Stormwater drains, gutters, and pipes are used to channel the water away from the house.  
  • Potable Water System: The potable water system provides clean and safe drinking water. It comprises a network of pipes, fittings, and fixtures carrying treated water. It also includes devices like water meters, filters, and pressure regulators to ensure quality and reliable distribution. 
  • Sanitary Drainage: The sanitary drainage system is designed to remove wastewater, including sewage and greywater, from residential, commercial, or industrial buildings. It includes pipes, traps, vents, and fixtures like toilets, sinks, and showers to dispose of the wastewater and prevent odors safely and contamination.

Our technicians will work with you to assess all aspects of the plumbing at your home or business.

The Importance of Proper Plumbing Installation and Common Mistakes to Avoid

Plumbing installation isn’t just about connecting pipes and fixtures—it’s about ensuring that everything functions correctly, safely, and efficiently. Proper plumbing installation is crucial for the long-term health of your home or business, as even small mistakes can lead to major problems down the road.

Why Proper Plumbing Installation Matters

  • Prevents Water Damage: Incorrect installation can lead to leaks, which, over time, can cause significant water damage to your property. A properly installed system ensures that your plumbing is leak-free and stable.
  • Improves System Efficiency: Well-installed systems run more efficiently, saving you money on water bills and reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
  • Compliance with Local Codes: Plumbing installations must meet local building codes. Failing to comply with these codes can lead to costly fines or delays when selling your property.
  • Enhanced Longevity: Proper installation ensures that the system works as intended for many years, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements in the future.

Common Plumbing Installation Mistakes to Avoid

Even small errors in plumbing installation can lead to serious issues. Here are some of the most common mistakes that professionals work hard to avoid:

  • Improper Sizing of Pipes: Using pipes that are too small for your water demand can reduce water pressure and increase the risk of blockages. It’s important to use the right size pipes for your system’s needs.
  • Incorrect Pipe Alignment: Pipes that aren’t properly aligned can lead to leaks and drainage issues. Ensuring that pipes are aligned and sloped correctly is essential for smooth water flow.
  • Poor Ventilation: Venting is an essential part of plumbing, ensuring that air pressure remains balanced throughout the system. Improper venting can lead to slow drainage, odors, and even backups.
  • Neglecting Regular Maintenance: While this may not be an installation mistake, failing to maintain your plumbing system after installation can lead to premature wear and tear. Regular inspections and maintenance can help catch issues before they become major problems.

By choosing Get Lit Electrical & Plumbing for your installation, you can avoid these common pitfalls and rest assured that your plumbing will be set up correctly and efficiently from the start.
