Designing and building your dream house, constructing your new business premises or being involved in any new construction project requires the best contractors to work on all aspects of the job to ensure maximum performance of your fresh new home or business, especially the plumbing. Your new building is at risk when you try to save a few bucks with an inexperienced or even unlicensed contractor that can create some serious problems. Today we at M & C Orsack Plumbing would like to share a few f the common examples a poor job with new construction plumbing can end up causing headaches, hassles, and hazards.
Pipes & Toilets Keep Clogging
Clogs can develop on a regular basis due to poor layout and installation of the drainage system in a building. Though it is more of a nuisance to contend with, it can potentially create sewage backup if the problem goes as deep as the sewer line. Where this is an unpleasant issue for residential plumbing, if it affects commercial buildings, it can cause problems violating heath codes.
Plumbing Water Leaks
Leaks are big problem for any plumbing system. In addition to leading to massive water waste, the leaks are destructive in multiple ways. Poor plumbing installation can easily create many leaks. Leaks spring simply due to using the wrong size of pipe can spike the water pressure. Another source that forces leaks is using the wrong type of pipe material and faulty connections.
Why Does Bad Plumbing Sound Like?
A building should not draw attention to itself because of the plumbing system. However, should the plumbing be put in without the correct water chambers inside it to absorb the shockwaves whenever a tap shuts off, the plumbing can do just that. Throughout the plumbing, you can heat banging sounds, known as water hammer without the Water baffles in place. Poor plumbing construction and planning is another common error and the unabsorbed shockwaves in the plumbing can lead to damage as well.
Can You Get Sick from Bad Plumbing?
A major concern whether you’re building a new home, or a new business is bad new construction plumbing that can negatively impact your health. Due to shoddy plumbing work from people who took shortcuts and failed to stay up to code can have two significant health worries.
1) Low water quality. Leading to harmful bacteria entering the freshwater lines, the bad plumbing can mean cross-contamination between the sewage system and the freshwater system. Allowing contamination of the whole freshwater supply can be serious enough in a commercial plumbing system. Outside contamination can be the cause of any type of leak in the freshwater system.
2) Mold. Unhealthy mold spore can be released into the air in addition to the mold being unattractive and odorous. The perfect environment for mold to take hold is the source of a bad plumbing system will likely start to leak, as mentioned above.
