The average Sydney home requires extensive maintenance to keep it looking and operating at peak performance.

This is why Milbur Plumbing created a reliable and affordable residential maintenance service for your convenience.

Our proactive maintenance program gives our customers peace of mind. We detect small problems and solve them before they become unnecessarily big or costly.
When you engage Milbur Plumbing to develop a proactive maintenance program for your business, you will be confident that your plumbing is dependable.
When is it important to schedule plumbing maintenance for your home or business?
Prevention will always be better than repairing – this is undeniable. Sadly, many people do not schedule regular building maintenance for their properties to prevent future expensive repairs, especially for the plumbing system – a system that is crucial for modern, comfortable living.
The plumbing system does a tremendous amount of work. It supplies freshwater to appliances and taps, hot water from the heater to the kitchen and bathroom, and wastewater from the drains to the sewer system.
Each building owner should maintain their plumbing system to ensure it is working optimally without blockages, breaks, corrosion, or leaking. Because plumbing systems are quite complex, they require professional assistance and maintenance. The specialists from Milbur Plumbing are equipped with the knowledge and skill to perform the maintenance your plumbing system requires.
New Homes or Commercial Spaces
Buying or renting a new property requires a thorough plumbing inspection. It is best to hire a home inspector to check the premises and identify any plumbing issues. Residential and commercial plumbing contractors will easily notice any problem that you may have overlooked that could cause damage in the future.
Older Homes and Buildings
Older buildings are more susceptible to plumbing problems for several reasons. For example, the materials used when installing the plumbing system may be faulty or dated. A house built in the 1960s could feature steel pipes that are prone to rust and corrosion. If the materials deteriorate, the risk of a plumbing disaster increases.
Mature Trees Surrounding the Building
The house or business facility may have been built when the surrounding trees were young, or you may have planted them afterwards, without expecting them to get so big. Now they have strong, extensive roots that may have slipped under the plumbing pipes and could cause leaks. Most times, you won't be able to notice the leaks for years after their development, which can be quite risky for your home's safety.
What happens during a plumbing maintenance inspection?
Plumbing maintenance inspections are designed to provide a complete picture of your plumbing system’s functionality and immediate and future needs.
A professional assessment would analyse all areas where water flows in and out of the building, like the lines, pipes, toilets, tubs, and sinks. In an inspection, the technicians from Milbur Plumbing check underneath and outside the building, inspecting both pipes and hydrants for leaks and damage. Technicians pay special attention to water heaters and toilets as they require the plumbers to check both water levels and mechanisms.
A professional plumber searches for leaks, cracks, and other signs of damage in the plumbing system. Plumbers should complete the following tasks during a complete home plumbing maintenance inspection:
- Old pipes inspection
- Pipes inspection (Plumbers use a drain camera to identify the presence of waste that could cause clogs)
- Vents and valves check-up
- Water-using appliances inspection
- Search for running toilets
- Water pressure review
- Sinks and drains inspection to evaluate water flow and identify blockages
How often should people perform plumbing maintenance on the systems in their buildings?
Professional contractors recommend performing plumbing maintenance annually. Homeowners and commercial building managers should not leave plumbing systems unchecked for more than two years. Keep in mind that each plumbing system is designed differently and has a specific season when it is under added pressure. Therefore, it is difficult to prescribe the ideal time for maintenance.
What can be the risks/dangers of not maintaining your plumbing system
Like your garden, roof, and flooring, your plumbing system also needs periodic maintenance to function properly. A series of problems can develop when you neglect to care for it, including pipe corrosion, mould, insect infestation, and unpleasant odours. In the long run, it is common for plumbing issues to become quite expensive to fix.
The below issues commonly occur when regular maintenance is not performed on a plumbing system.
Tree Roots Damaging Sewer Pipes
Trees need oxygen, water, nutrients, and minerals to grow and thrive. Tree roots feel where water is flowing and gravitate towards that location. Therefore, if your home is in an area with many trees and vegetation, tree roots may come into contact with your plumbing system and cause a series of problems, including:
- Worsening existing cracks and holes in pipes,
- Triggering a dam inside pipes that leads to overflow, and
- Blocking or reducing pipe flow.
An annual plumbing maintenance inspection can reveal warning signs that any of these problems may be occurring. In the annual inspection, Milbur Plumbing sends sewer and drain repair professionals to evaluate areas rich in trees to determine if offensive measures are required to redirect the growth of roots and restrengthen the affected pipes.
Health Risks: Contamination of Drinking water, Groundwater, and Food
For centuries water-borne health issues like cholera, typhoid, and dysentery have affected people due mainly to poorly-maintained plumbing systems. Over the years, technology has advanced, thus allowing plumbing sanitisation, maintenance, and waste management to advance and accomplish tasks easily, making the above health issues non-existent threats. However, contamination can still occur if individuals neglect to care for their plumbing systems.
Sewage water contains viruses, bacteria, and other contaminants that can cause a series of health problems. When you fail to maintain the septic system properly, these contaminants can reach your drinking water, groundwater, and even food. The bacteria is so minuscule that it can easily pass through a water filter and put your family at risk of catching E.coli, salmonella, or hepatitis.
Cross-contamination can also occur. This usually happens due to a drop in water pressure. Then, contaminated water from the garden hose, toilet, or swimming pool has the potential to enter your sink, shower, bidet, or dishwasher.
Burst Pipes
If your pipes freeze or burst, you have a plumbing emergency on your hands. Pipes burst due to corrosion, water pressure, pipe movement, freezing of pipes, and other, less common reasons. Damage to plumbing pipes can be expensive and inconvenient to fix.
Damaged pipes can also lead to structural damage and ravage your household contents. The pipes located in the outer walls of buildings and unheated areas are more likely affected during the cold season. Luckily, during regular home plumbing maintenance, plumbers evaluate pipes and let you know if the pipes need immediate repair.
The main reasons for burst pipes are:
- Corrosion
- Water pressure
- Moving pipes
- Frozen pipes
Mould from Unfixed Leaks
High Water Acidity
Costly Issues Resulting From Neglect
You never realise how much you rely on your plumbing system until it fails to work. Some issues come with significant potential danger, and only plumbing maintenance professionals can handle them. When you neglect plumbing maintenance for a long time, you can experience expensive problems like clogged pipes and toilets, leaky pipes and faucets, water heater issues, low water pressure, running toilets, and numerous other plumbing issues.
