If you haven't spoken to your plumber about your plumbing system yet, here are a few essential inquiries you can start with:

4 Important Questions To Ask Your Plumber

How Can I Spot A Potentially Clogged Drain?

Most people can only detect a clogged drain or other faucet problems once the situation has happened. A trained, professional plumber knows exactly what to look for and can teach you. If you hear gurgling in your drain or toilet, this is one indication of a problem. Your plumber may also warn you about rising or falling water levels in your toilet, or water pooling in your shower without draining at a normal rate. If you notice any of these problems, you should call a plumber right away; these signs could indicate a clogged drain or an issue with your sewer line.

Why Should I Have My Plumbing Routinely Inspected?

Routine inspections prevent so many potential risks. It's important to remember that every home is different and some require more frequent inspections than others. In order to know how often you'll need them, you first need to schedule an initial assessment. Once they’ve taken a look around, a plumber from Waialae Plumbing and Construction will clearly explain to you what needs to be done and why.

Are There Any Home Maintenance Tasks I Can Do?

Once again, this ultimately depends on your plumbing; newer systems can handle certain cleaners and methods that older systems cannot, and vice versa. If there's anything you should be doing, Waialae Plumbing and Construction will let you know once they've come to inspect everything.

What Products Should I Use To Clear Out The Drains & Clean The Toilets?

Many chemical cleaners available in stores are incredibly caustic and can ruin your drains and piping, not to mention wreak havoc on the septic system. Depending on the age and state of your plumbing, a plumber from Waialae Plumbing and Construction can direct you to the best products.
