Plumbing is one of those things that many homeowners in Edmond, Moore, Nichols Hills, Oklahoma City, Warr Acres, Yukon, and the surrounding areas think that they can attempt to repair or install. However, while things appear simple enough, there are important considerations that those without the experience and knowledge that we have at Amped Plumbing will not include and could lead to problems with the proper operation of the water system. Air needs to be in the system for wastewater to properly flow out of the house, and there is a reason why P-traps are used under sinks, plus more. Only a skilled plumber from our team can ensure that the proper codes are being followed for any plumbing installation or repair.

Common Mistakes with Homeowner Plumbing
Homeowners do not need to know all of the intricacies of their home’s plumbing system, just like they don’t need to know those things for the electrical system and other important systems in the home. But they should deal with issues right away before they turn into larger problems, and a great example is a faucet leak. Not only are you wasting water (and being charged for it), but letting a leak persist could result in damage to the room the faucet is in, or other areas of the home if the water leaks elsewhere.
In some cases we have found that homeowners or apartment dwellers have flushed the wrong things down the toilet. This has caused clogs and in some cases expensive repairs to get things back to how they should be. Another issue that we see is grease being poured down a kitchen sink where it cools and congeals into a mass that impedes the proper drainage of wastewater.
Maintenance Is an Important Aspect
Like many things in life, it seems counter intuitive to have a plumber come out to look at your system to avoid having a plumber come out to fix a problem. Proper maintenance to your home’s water system, including having your main wastewater drain inspected and cleaned, will save you money in the long run by addressing issues when they are small and easily handled instead of waiting until the water is spraying all over your home.
Having a plumber that you can trust to give you accurate information about your home’s plumbing system is important in Edmond, Moore, Nichols Hills, Oklahoma City, Warr Acres, Yukon, and the surrounding areas.
