 This blog is a continuation of our previous blog, in which we began our topic detailing the benefits of plumbing preparedness. Get ready and set for part 2! Future-proofing check-ups (to keep your house happy and chugging along)
Why wait for everything to turn to custard before giving us a call? Most Wellingtonians dwell in older homes.

They can also end up with the pipe bursting, cause concrete damage to the building. Sometimes it isn't the fault of your drains, too. Tree roots, earthquakes, rainy seasons and even basic wear and tear can factor in to the ongoing integrity of your drain. So, banking on a good Wellington plumber's regular check-ups, you'll be able to save yourself the dramatic costs that come if drains are left unchecked until an emergency evidently happens. The costs of a Wellington plumbing emergency skyrocket when:
Emergencies are easy to avoid. No really, they are! All it takes is a quick call to the team at Maxey, and trusting that we'll be able to keep your house happy, healthy, and emergency-free. Comments are closed.
