Did you know?

In several provinces across Canada, there are strict laws that regulate home renovation projects. In that regard, the plumbing sector is especially concerned, as this is a trade that requires a precise skill set, as well as specific permits to exercise the tasks in question. 

Renovating plumbing elements on your own can be risky for your property, your safety, but also your health. By hiring a certified plumbing contractor, you are assured of quality work while being protected from property damage or personal injury.

What are the most common plumbing problems?

There are many different plumbing problems which can cause more serious issues if they are not taken care of in time. Here is an overview:

- Faucets that leak
This is definitely the most common problem and it concerns both kitchen and bathroom faucets. In addition to causing a ceaseless thumping sound, these drops that fall continuously cause a real waste of water, hence the importance of quickly repairing the faucet.

- Toilets that are clogged
Clogged toilets are one of the plumbing problems that require urgent intervention. In some cases, a simple unblocking process is enough to resolve the situation, but in others, a plumbing professional will have to work their magic, especially if the problem occurs repeatedly.

- Clogged drains (sinks, baths, showers)
Again, the problem is never pleasant when it occurs. Moreover, it is often related to inattentions and a lack of maintenance which makes that food, hair or detritus come to encumber the drains. Even if there are products to open the drains, sometimes the problem is so severe that the intervention of a plumber is required.
