Expert and Dependable Plumbing Code Violations Services in the Philadelphia Area

Common Plumbing Code Violations

• Lack of Backflow Prevention

Backflow preventers are crucial fixtures for things like toilets, sinks, and irrigation systems, as they stop contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply. When they aren’t installed or improperly installed, it is a major plumbing violation. Nothing comes before safety at Guaranteed Plumbing & Heating, and by the time we finish, you’ll have peace of mind that your backflow prevention system is operating properly.

• Improper Venting

Improper venting is the result of vents that were either not installed or installed incorrectly. This causes negative pressure that pulls sewer gases into the home through drains. At Guaranteed Plumbing & Heating, we are no strangers to fixing improper venting and are experts at fixing it. 

• Incorrect Pipe Sizing

A plumbing system relies on having the appropriate pipe sizes to maintain the right flow and pressure. Small pipes restrict flow and large pipes cause sediment buildup and slow drainage. With our decades of experience, our team has the skills to identify and fit the proper pipes so that there aren’t future issues.

• Improper Drainage

There needs to be a slight slope where wastewater flows toward the main septic or sewer system for there to be proper drainage. The slope’s angle is crucial to optimal functionality, and our team has the eye for detail to ensure the slope meets the necessary requirements so that there is proper drainage. 

• Exposed or Unprotected Pipes

When pipes are exposed to the elements, they run the risk of freezing or physical damage from corrosion or impacts. Our job is to make sure your home’s plumbing system operates at peak performance no matter what, which is why it’s critical that the pipes are protected from the elements. 

• Improperly Installed Water Heaters

There are several regulations that go into installing water heaters, including local plumbing codes and the manufacturer’s specifications. Our team will swiftly identify where the violations are and fix them to avoid dangerous conditions like overheating and carbon monoxide buildup.
