Hire A Licensed Toronto Plumber

Most individuals think that any small plumbing job to be done occasionally at home is something that anyone can take over. So when something happens, the most common thing to do is to resort to anyone who knows anything about plumbing so that they solve the problem. The sad truth is that at the moment that you look for someone who is not licensed at plumbing, instead of saving money, you may be worsening the situation. When you hire an unlicensed contractor or handyman to do a plumbing task, you are increasing the numbers of problems that can bring some shoddy work.

If you look for long-term solutions and a reliable plumbing service, a professional Toronto plumbing service is the safest way to get a good return in your investment.

For the following reasons, you should invest your money and your time wisely and hire a professional Toronto plumber whenever you need a plumbing service:

Experience

Many times plumbing issues are not as simple or as easy as they seem to be. A problem may be linked to a few other issues that also require professional care. Right at the moment when licensed plumbers can identify what the problem is, they are able to fix it and this way they avoid other problems that may be linked to the main one. While unprofessional plumbers may not know the right way to fix your problem, the professional ones are able to get the job done correctly in a reduced amount of time.

Save money

The experience is not improvised. People often hire an unlicensed plumber or a handyman to make minor plumbing work in order to save money. What they do not know is the fact that these savings can be more expensive than they thought. If you hire an unlicensed plumber, you run the risk that the person that you looked for will not solve the problem the right way, or that the work they do will not be as qualified as the one you expected. Professional plumbers know the situations of each job (such as pipe fittings, water pressure, leaks and other plumbing problems) and as they have seen it all, they are going to solve any problems that may arise.

Emergencies

Plumbing emergencies can happen at any time and when you least expect it. To avoid the stressful situation and the great damages that it can come with it, professional contractors offer emergency plumbing services. The benefits of this useful tool are that it makes the plumbers available for the customers at any time an emergency occur and also this resource saves time, awkward moments, and thousands of dollars in water harms.

Prevent damage

One of the least expected consequences of little plumbing issues is the great damage that it can cause if it is not solved on time. As regularly the professional plumbers know the side effects of every plumbing problem, at the moment of fixing any issue they make sure to do a qualified work. In addition, professional plumbers verify to prevent or fix any other potential problem related to it in order to avoid future damage.

Toronto Plumbers: Guide to Sump Pumps

A sump pump is like a vigilant, hardworking little robot standing sentry in your basement. When it detects rising groundwater it goes to work until the threat passes. Then it quietly stands down, expecting no thanks, and puts itself back on guard awaiting the next call to duty.

How they work

The word “sump” refers to the lowest point, which in a house is the watery pit in the basement where the pump is placed. The water level you see in the sump well represents the groundwater level around your house. When the level rises to the point set by the sensor, the pump is activated and works until the level drops below the sensor line.

There are two types of sump pumps – pedestal and submersible. A pedestal pump sits on a pedestal outside of the water collection well with a sensor dropped into the water. The submersible sump pump is self-contained and is designed to float in the water pit. A submersible pump can be expected to last anywhere from five to 15 years, while pedestal models may last twice as long.

Sump pump backups

Despite your sump pump’s determination, it is still a mechanical device that will eventually break down. Even more likely, it is dependent on electricity, which could suddenly be unavailable during a storm.

There are several things you can to to protect your pump and your Toronto home in case of emergencies:

Get a battery-powered backup: If there is a power outage or your regular pump malfunctions, the backup sump pump would kick into action – assuming you have kept its batteries charged.

Have your pump checked: Plumbers recommend that sump pumps be inspected and serviced twice a year.

Check your insurance: Talk to your agent about your existing coverage for basement flood damage. Many policies will cover losses if the sump pump fails mechanically but not in the event of a power outage. If you’re willing to pay a slightly higher premium, you can usually increase your coverage.

Where the water goes

Sump pump water is ground water, so it should not be routed into sanitary sewers. However, many homes built as recently as the 1970s do just that. Not only is this wasteful – because it puts more water than necessary into your town’s wastewater treatment plant – but it increases your risk of raw sewage backup into your home.

As your main drain ages, encroaching tree roots and other blockages gradually reduce the volume of water that can travel through the pipe at any given time. You may not notice this just flushing toilets or even running the washing machine, but a sump pump produces a much higher volume of water that rushes into your sewer in a constant flow that lasts as long as the pump’s cycle of activity.

If the sewer drain can’t handle that volume, there’s nowhere else for the excess water to go except up out of your toilets and floor drains – and now the sump water has been mixed in with sewage.

Re-routing the discharge

Disconnecting the sump pump drain from the sanitary sewer drain is an easy task for a plumber, but the greater challenge may be in finding a new direction.

If your home is close to a drainage ditch or storm sewer drain, it’s an easy decision. Don’t assume you can just route the water outside like a downspout and let it soak into the ground. Environmentally, that’s fine, but you’ll be surprised just how much water your sump pump produces each time it kicks on. You could end up creating a swamp in your back yard and make your pump work harder, because the expelled water will just seep back in.

Just as collecting rain water can be an alternative source for garden and lawn water, so too can sump pump water. But at a rate of 30 to 50 gallons per minute, your sump pump could fill up several rain barrels in a very short amount of time. And as with rain barrels, the water is produced when you don’t need it.
