Maintenance Tips for Older Plumbing.


The plumbing in most older homes uses galvanized and cast iron pipes, which can corrode over time. If your home has galvanized pipes, look for breakdown around the joints. If you have cast iron pipes, check to see if they have become brittle on the top portion of the pipe. If you discover any corrosion, be sure to contact a plumber to get the pipes repaired or replaced.

Many older homes have clay tile sewer lines. Tree roots are strong and can grow right through this type of sewer line. If you haven’t done so in a while, it’s a good idea to do a camera and maintenance rodding to determine whether you have any tree root issues or if you are likely to have problems in the future.

In any home, the seals around the base of toilets will wear with time and use, and can even leak unnoticeably for years. Check the area around the base of your toilets for moisture, or, if possible, look at the floor from below for leaks.

Whether you have new or old plumbing, it’s a good idea to regularly exercise your valves. Locate the valves behind your toilets, under your sinks, and on any equipment/Appliances. Slowly turn the valves off, then turn them on again. This will keep them from locking up.

The rubber hoses connected to washers and dryers wear over time, and they are under significant pressure. Replacing them with new braided stainless steel hoses will reduce the possibility of hoses bursting or breaking.

Ensuring that your home receives the best water quality is not only beneficial to your family’s health, but also for your plumbing and appliances. Too many hard minerals in the water will increase the wear and tear on everything from your plumbing to your laundry. Installing a water softener or whole home filter can improve the quality of your family’s water, which will extend the life of your plumbing and appliances.

Make sure to keep your pipes from freezing in the winter. The best way to do so is by insulating them and keeping your house warm.

If you have any leaky pipes, they can be replaced with new fittings. Additional parts may be required to fit new pipes to older, existing pipes, Drain Bros will be able to marry the old with the new and get you safely functioning again.

Drain Bros Full Service Residential Plumbers!


Are you scouring the internet and white pages for a residential plumber? Have you recently experienced plumbing issues, or is there a constantly nagging problem that has caused you to say “Enough is enough”?

Residential kitchen and bathroom plumbing can develop problems over time. These plumbing problems can result due to continuous use of dishwashers, toilets, showers, sinks, and washing machines. Residential pipes in antique homes are normally made of copper or galvanized steel. This type of steel can develop small breaks in the metal as a result of time, use, and stresses, causing pipe leaks to increase.

As a homeowner, an investment in the quality of your home’s residential plumbing is vital. Kitchen and bathroom plumbing problems can be prevented, and we help consumers with high quality residential plumbing.

If you need a residential plumber in Cape Town, our services include bathroom plumbing, kitchen plumbing, and your septic system and sewer lines.
