Plumbers Archives - Famous Last Words

Whether you are constructing a new house or modernizing the old one, making sure that your plumbing installations are done meticulously is extremely important. Having an experienced team of plumbers installing freshwater supply lines, plumbing vents, drains, and sewer pipes the right way can go a long way in ensuring that you don’t face hiccups in the years to come. There are a lot of other plumbing issues you need to consider before and while building a new home. By doing so, you can rest assured that you save a hefty amount of money and have a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly home. Here are those things: Incorporate many shut-off valves in the right places During the construction phase of your house and installing a plumbing system, future plumbing issues may not get your attention. Problems related to plumbing like leaking water can arise at any time, even if you are ultra-careful in the beginning. If a situation like this arises, you would want an easier passage to control the damage. So, it is good to have a separate shut-off valve for every connection. Having shut-off valves in the right locations lets you shut the water flow towards the area requiring repair without shutting the main valve. For example, to stop the flow of hot and cold water in the sink, you will turn-off the valves underneath it. Likewise, to ease everything, you can and should place valves for bathtubs, showers, and toilets too. Moreover, when the plumbing service provider is laying the plumbing design and connecting all supply lines to the main, ask them to install the main valve at a location that is easily accessible. Consider your future plumbing needs It is a sure thing that while constructing a new home, you will install the plumbing, sewer, and drain lines for your kitchen, bathrooms and laundry rooms, etc. However, you should be smart enough to consider future needs too. Doing it in the initial phases, when everything can be managed easily, will save you money and time, and effort. For example, if you are not installing water softeners now, you will definitely want them in the future. So, ask your service provider to add softener plumbing connections in easy to reach locations like the basement, laundry room, or garage. Outdoor plumbing installation is important We’ve seen many house owners neglecting the outdoor plumbing design system and don’t bother keeping connections outside or around the building. You should have enough outdoor connections outside the home to fulfill any need. Ideally, you should have at least one faucet connection on every side of your home. Another important consideration is having a plumbing connection for an outdoor kitchen. It may be possible that in a few years to come, you decide to close the patio or deck and decide in favor of an outdoor kitchen having a grill for outdoor parties, etc. Inground pool and water sprinklers in your garden and lawn are also important. While spending a lot on the house construction, things like these may not settle in your budget; however, you may require them in the times to come. According to Estate experts, outdoor connections positioned thoughtfully can enhance the value of your building in case you decide to sell it. Think about the kitchen plumbing installation A lot of people think of the kitchen as an integral part of their homes. Kitchens require a meticulous approach in plumbing design. So, your plumbing service provider has to be extremely proficient when installing water and drain lines for sinks, dishwashers, and refrigerators. The dishwasher should be strategically placed near the sink. This will ease the installation process. In case your kitchen design is such that the dishwasher and sinks are far from each other, the plumbing service provider will have to install the hot water and drain lines separately. Choose the plumbing lines required for your bathrooms Just like the kitchen, the right plumbing design for bathrooms in your house is also important. Before going ahead, it is best to evaluate the requirements for every bathroom separately. Main requirements like washbasins (bathroom sinks) and toilets will be the same. However, special requirements may differ as you may go for a stand-alone shower or a grand Jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom. You also need to think futuristically as many requirements arise with time. Think about conservation of water and energy Incorporating a water and energy-efficient plumbing system in your newly built house will not only save you money, but you will also be environment friendly. Due to the scarcity of water in Pakistan, use low-flow toilets and faucets in your bathrooms and kitchens. Moreover, having a tankless water heater will also benefit you in the long run. Apart from providing hot water, it also consumes less energy and conserves water too. If you live in the northern areas of Pakistan or a region where the temperature in winters is below minus, make sure you spend on pipe insulation. This money spent initially is well spent and saves you from spending thousands of rupees on home repair costs due to freezing temperatures. Wastewater usage A brilliant idea to save water is to reuse it for other purposes. The entire world is moving towards water conservations, and for this purpose, home construction service providers are using cutting-edge plumbing techniques to reuse the bath and laundry water for lawn irrigation and driveway cleaning, etc. The sewage lines of wastewater, instead of directing towards the main sewer line, are intentionally diverted towards the irrigation system. As it saves a decent quantity of water every month, it allows you to save money on every water bill. Don’t forget about the laundry room Make sure to add the connection places in the most accessible locations. A laundry room utility sink is also necessary, so you need to have plumbing lines for it too. There are many plumbing tips we have for those looking to build a new house or renovate it.
