Plumbing trouble always sets in at the unideal moments- a gurgle of a faucet at night, clogs that come just before a dinner party. In the UAE, with its high water use, these matters go on to become the top issues. But simple knowledge in the hands of an owner can shun most of the plumbing headaches and keep the house ticking. Here's how.
1. End That Annoying Drip
A steady drip from the faucet may just be very annoyingly un-irritating. Do you not think that this dripping of water is wasting a lot of water while at the same time inflating water bills? That drip is frequently caused by a worn-out washer or seal. So look at your faucets now and then and replace any worn-out parts. A little repair could save gallons of water and a few pennies.
2. Drain Cleaning or Clogging
Grease, food scraps, and soap buildup seem to be what kitchen sinks in UAE homes usually battle with. To avoid any clogs, simply place a strainer over the drain opening to catch debris. Never pour oil or coffee grounds down the drain- they are known clog culprits. As an alternative, to maintain free flow, pour boiling water down your drains once a week.
3. Stop the Toilet from Running
A toilet that runs continuously can waste hundreds of liters of water every day. Sometimes, the flapper valve does not seal properly. To test: place some food coloring in the tank; it is time to replace it if it appears in the bowl. This minor fix saves lots of water and is easy on the pocket.
4. Address Water-Pressure Problems
Low water pressure can render showers and washing of dishes tough. In the UAE, pipes usually clog because of sediment or mineral deposits. Keep the water flowing strongly by cleaning pipes regularly. If it persists, have the pros from ZAS-Tech diagnose and solve the hidden problem.
