Piping Issues
Especially for older homes that use piping made from materials that are responsible for leaking hazardous chemicals into the water, although there will not be any noticeable taste or discoloration, these materials feature lead, zinc, and cadmium that can cause serious health issues with the liver, kidneys, skin, and hair. This is especially true for houses built before 1986, have a knowledgeable plumber from Shalin Plumbing inspect your pipework for materials such as lead, polybutylene, galvanized steel, and CPVC
Also, small children may be affected by copper pipes and if your plumbing is damaged with debris and hard water deposits it may result in contamination that will affect you in the short and long term. Routine inspections from Shalin Plumbing can help you fix your plumbing system and easily remedied health concerns.
Blocked Drains Cause Bacteria
Clogs and blocked drains are some of the common plumbing system issues that cause unclean odor to arise from blocked pipes and this results in bacteria and mold growth that spreads through your home instead of being quickly flushed. Also, this may make pools of stagnant water collected in the piping system attract insects and unwanted pests, resulting in the spread of disease throughout your home.
Leaky Pipes causing Damp In
Always have experts from Shalin Plumbing check for small leaks and damaged pies throughout your plumbing system. This is because constant leaks on the pipes may create dank spaces on the walls, under sinks, or beneath flooring where mildew spreads easily. This makes your family breathe in the effects of this unwanted fungal growth before the leaks are noticed. Due to poor air quality in damp, families may suffer from respiratory issues and allergies.
Sewage is not wanted
Apart from the bad odor of rotten waste, sewage water brings even more ailments, this is why it is important to ensure regular maintenance of the sewage drainage system, as it is the main source of contaminants and diseases that can spread to the drinking water. While others consider filtering the drinking water, most filters can only separate sediments and debris but not the harmful viruses that may be dissolved into the water. Some of the toxins that you may be at risk of may include e-coli bacteria, hepatitis, and salmonella, so make sure the septic system is not properly maintained.
Always have professionals from Shalin Plumbing& Heating perform any repairs to your plumbing system to avoid the surfaces coming into contact with contaminated water as it can spread the disease to family members.
