Emergency repair services for plumbing problems such as pipe breakages or blockages are crucial on a busy holiday island like Koh Samui. Skilled plumbing engineers such as those employed by Managing Samui also offer check-up and trouble-shooting services to property owners throughout the island, serving private homes, resorts and hotel developments, as well as commercial buildings.
Beyond physically checking all plumbing connections, faucets, pipes and tanks, professional inspection teams might also check wooden flooring for any water-related warping, lifting, mould or mildew accumulation. Maintenance or emergency work also often overlaps into swimming pool pump rooms and external garden systems and plumbing engineers are often asked to identify where residential pool pump rooms or landscaping systems might have insufficient drainage, live wires or terminals, putting residents or staff at risk.
Should pipe blockages occur, a trained plumber can use flexible pipe clearing augers such as sewer ‘snake’ devices and drain guns to alleviate blockages and the floods backed-up pipes can cause upstream. Companies like Managing Samui can work with hot and cold water systems, as well as the many household and commercial water-filtering systems installed in modern homes, so their expertise covers a range of maintenance requirements.
Emergencies call for their own processes, but maintenance can begin with a simple consultation, with plumbing experts providing a thorough inspection of all pipes, drains, as well as in-structure and under-building systems. They will then discuss costs and procedures for recommended improvements, retrofitting and repairs. As part of the estimate, they will often provide an idea of the savings to be made by early intervention, as well as the costs of possible damage should regular upkeep or improvements be ignored.
