If you are living in an apartment or villa in Dubai for many years, you would have already faced some other plumbing issues. Every plumbing issue is an emergency because in most cases, either water is leaking or it is not draining away.
Nearly every home in Dubai will face some emergency plumbing issue, especially during the harsh summers when the temperature goes upwards of 40C and during cool nights as the temperature differences can play havoc with the plumbing systems, stressing them out.
One reason why you can relax is that such plumbing issues can be easily dealt with by calling Metis – the home maintenance people with established home maintenance service records in Dubai. Metis has the right professionals to deal with every issue in maintenance, be it plumbing, electrical, cleaning, or more.
Here are some of the issues that would require professional help from Metis.
Wastewater draining
Are you witnessing that the water is not draining out as fast as it used to or should? It means that the drainage system is clogged by bits of waste and hair tangles. It would require proper cleaning and the water flow will be restored. If you ignore the issue, the situation could worsen and it can lead to flooding of the bathroom floor.
Toilet flush not stopping
This is a common occurrence witnessed in toilets due to faulty flush valves or the flapper in the cistern. So once the toilet is flushed, the water keeps flowing and doesn’t stop. Sometimes it is just a trickle and you may fail to notice it. But it means a bucketful of water down the drain literally and a subsequent rise in your water bills. This can be resolved through a routine check-up while resolving other issues that you may be facing.
Not enough water pressure
The showers may not work well enough for a nice bath. The taps may not be flowing with the usual amount of water and as the pressure is low, washing utensils or vegetables becomes difficult. The problem is usually with the system clogging or if some control valves have been closed unwittingly. This is a problem that can be easily resolved.
Water heater not working
If water is slow in getting warm enough for a bath, it can lead to delays in your schedule, especially during busy mornings. It could be that the water heater is faulty. It will mean that you lose time on getting warm water to bathe and your power bills will be more than usual. Now any plumber may not do it because it involves some electrical issues too. You need expert service from Metis.
When hose bibb or pipes leak
This is the connection between your home and an outside connection. Leaky bibbs are a common issue that leads to loss of water. May pipe leaks around the home plumbing system may not be noticed until one finds the wall damp or a mold developing on an outer wall. Sometimes the leak could lead to a burst causing damage to furniture and clothes, especially serious when you are not at home or on a holiday.
When can you gauge it is an emergency?
A plumbing emergency is when an issue cannot wait. As it involves water being lost continually even the seemingly small issue can exacerbate. The easiest way to determine whether an issue can wait or needs immediate response is to call Metis at Dubai for your home located in the region. Our specialists will help you determine the extent of the issue and how serious it is. Sometimes the weather can heighten the plumbing issue, especially when it is very hot.
The experts at Metis will weigh the issue you are facing and inform you if it is an issue that can be left alone for a few days. But if the issue can put the house at risk or lead to damage should not be left unattended. If there is a leak and if the water can be turned off, the emergency of that issue is lessened. This gives time for the professional plumbers in Dubai at Metis to reach your house to rectify the issue.
