Bathroom Fixture Repair & Installation

All of a bathroom’s primary functions are water related, and so appropriately the room’s plumbing is paramount. Arranging a time for your local plumber to visit and consult regarding pipe care is a good way to avoid expensive future problems, such as burst pipes or dry-rotted lines. Be sure to ask about various temperature treatment such as winterization. In the event of a problem, your local plumber should be contacted immediately for quick resolution. Bathroom leaks are a leading cause of extended water damage to homes, which is even more devastating and costly than the leak itself, and requires the services of far more invasive and lengthy repair technicians. Problems to watch for are leaking faucets, rusted faucet knobs, moisture beneath the vanity, and low water pressure. If you identify any of these issues, you may already have a problem and should consult your local plumber as soon as possible.

Electric lighting is also dominant in bathrooms and just as likely to malfunction for even more dangerous results. It’s wise to keep an eye on your home’s electrical behavior in general, but in the bathroom where electricity and water are in such close proximity, it’s crucial. Your local plumber may also employ an electrician or will be able to refer you to one that is trustworthy, and you may consider scheduling an inspection for wiring and lighting fixtures. Exposed wires are especially dangerous, but there are less obvious risks in a bathroom such as a malfunctioning switches that may be indicative of an internal issue, a burst or burned out bulb in the vanity lights, or if your bathroom sports a heating lamp. These special lights expend a great deal more power and thus increase the chance of malfunction and danger. Avoiding electrical problems before they begin can save your family money and grant peace of mind, since electrical malfunctions are one of the leading problems for house fires.

It’s good to remember that your Sarasota plumbing contractor offers cheap consultations and inspections, and much like a person who requires an annual physical exam, a bathroom requires periodic safety inspections. After all, a few minutes and dollars can prevent you from potentially spending thousands or losing your home entirely, should the worst happen.
