You don’t want to deal with these things as soon as you move into your new home.

If the house you are thinking of buying is an older house and nothing has been done to update its Plumbing in Vernon, you should have it checked by professionals from Bree-Link Plumbing & Heating.

Look for tell-tale signs of a poor plumbing system as well such as the following:

1. Leaky toilet

Try flushing the toilet. Does it take forever to refill the tank? If so, there could be some problems with it. Also, check the bottom of the toilet. If you can see water pooling there after flushing even when you have just wiped the floor, it could mean that the toilet is leaking water.

2. Molds

Check the house for brown or black stains on the walls, floor, and ceiling. These stains could be due to molds and this is usually indicative of something leaking in the house. If there are broken pipes, the water could flow into the wrong areas, thereby causing some flooding. And when this persists, molds will appear.

Not only is this a plumbing issue but it is also a health issue. Molds are harmful to health. Their spores are poisonous, so make sure you don’t move into a house with this kind of problem.

3. Smelly drains

Does the drain smell like the sewers? Mild smells could be due to poorly-maintained drains and can be rectified by hiring a professional to clean the plumbing in Vernon. But if the smell is overpowering and permeates to the other areas of the house, it’s usually a sign of something much more serious. It can be due to the smell from the sewer system backing up into your home. It’s best to have it checked by a professional.

4. Poor water pressure

Older homes might be prone to poor water pressure problems. If there is a leak somewhere in the house, the water might not easily get into your faucets as well.

5. Slow-moving drains

Always test the drains. Pour down a glass of water to see if they are working well. If they are slow to drain, this can indicate a clog.

Bree-Link Plumbing & Heating can ensure that your plumbing system will be in good condition before you move into your new home.
