Spring is when many small plumbing problems start showing up after the winter.
Here are a few things homeowners should check around the house:
• Outdoor hose faucets that may have cracked during freezing
• Slow leaks under sinks
• Unusual noises from your heating system
• Hot water tanks that worked hard all winter
Catching small issues early can prevent bigger repairs later in the season.

Furnace smells burnt when turned on?
That’s usually dust on the heat exchanger and should clear in ~5 minutes. If it doesn’t, or you hear unusual cycling, get a safety check. I’m a licensed Plumber & Gas Fitter in Oyama.

Why Hire A Professional To Install Your Dishwasher?

Sometimes when a dishwashing machine is installed new connections must be made, or existing connections must be altered in some way to allow for a seamless problem free install. There are specific codes and regulations that must be adhered to when performing such plumbing installations. So when this is the case it is always a good idea to hire someone on that has the proper training and experience to get this work done properly. When new plumbing connections need to be made the last thing you want to do is to rely on someone with little or no experience. Proper installation of a dishwasher is not an area where you want to gamble on inexperienced craftsmanship.
Improperly installed dishwashers lead to leaking, wasted water, and in the worst cases water damage to the surrounding areas.
An improper waterline connection or drainage connection can take a while to make it known, during this period of time an improperly installed dishwasher can slowly leak water. When this happens the problem will only be discovered when the leaky connection is a serious problem. The absolute best way to avoid water leaks caused by leaking dishwasher connections is to hire a Licensed Plumber.
Let’s say you have a dishwasher installed for very little money, then a problem develops down the road, it turns into a severe water damage issue and you try to make an insurance claim – or your dishwasher has developed a serious problem and you’d like to make a warranty claim. Well if you have code violations and an improperly installed dishwasher you can forget about your claim. You’ll be paying out of pocket to repair any related water damage.
any electrical or water damage resulting from an improper installation can and will cause you a headache later on. Did you know an Insurers can argue neglect on your part to avoid paying out for damage, whether the problem located in the connections to the dishwasher itself or elsewhere. Even if your dishwasher is still under warranty, they won’t install it for free, meaning you may not even solve the problem anyways. Getting a professional will keep you in the clear from an insurance standpoint, which is very important considering this is a machine that uses both power and water.
No matter the type or Model, getting a professional to install your new dishwasher is always a great idea. Hiring a Licensed Plumber to perform a dishwasher installation is a good idea that will put your mind at ease

Winter Plumbing Tips from Westernish Plumbing

Winter is almost here.Tempretures are dropping.So preparing your plumbing system for winter should be at the top of your list of “things-to-do in November.

Disconnect your outdoor water hoses
If the water inside the hose freezes, it can cause frigid and severe problems for any connecting pipes underneath your home. A burst pipe will disable your home in a matter of seconds.
Not to mention, a severe drop in temperature is something that can come out of nowhere. The end result can be frozen pipes, as well as a host of additional problems.

Check your outdoor faucets
If you find anything leaking or dripping, have a plumber come by to check it out. It is a good idea to have a forced slow drip when temperatures drop below zero to ensure your water lines have movement.

Inspect your valves
Do you have interior shut off valves that lead to outdoor faucets? Have them closed, and then drain all the water from the pipes. When the weather person cautions you about temperatures dropping below zero, that means all stagnant water will freeze.

Cover outdoor faucets
A faucet insulation kit can take care of this nicely. You can purchase do it yourself kits at your local Home Depot. Or call Westernish Plumbing to winterize all of your outdoor faucets. The options are endless.

Water heater
Make your water heater more efficient during the winter months. This can be done by having sediment drained from the tank on a regular basis. Sediment in your water heater causes corrosion. If left unchecked for an extended amount of time this will ruin your water heater.
BONUS water heater tip: Keeping your water heater at 120 degrees can maintain optimal performance, without the risk of scalding.

Bonus Tip
Safest and easiest way to take care of all this stuff is to call your local full-service plumber " Westernish Plumbing" and let us deal with it all. We know what to look for, We have the parts and supplies needed to get the job done, and we have the experience to do it right,so you can sleep easy (and dry) throughout the winter season.
