-All House Maintenance & Repair

The first reason home maintenance is so important is that it saves you, the homeowner, money.

While it’s true, maintenance takes some money, dedication and hard work, in the long run you save much more money than if you didn’t do maintenance. Why is this? For every euro you spend on preventative maintenance around the home, you save approximately €100 in future repairs. That’s because taking care of small problems now (a dirty filter or clogged drain) makes it so you don’t have the problem worsen over time and develop into a larger issue (a burned out HVAC motor or burst pipe.)

Koopmans will do maintenance and repairs on your property and save you money in the long term.

–Septic Tanks Upgraded:

Domestic waste water treatment systems (DWWTS) are used by rural householders to treat sewage. There are nearly half a million systems in Ireland, mostly septic tanks. Built and operated properly, they provide a safe way to treat sewage for householders not connected to sewage mains. Not built and operated properly, they can contaminate household wells with harmful bacteria and viruses. Excessive releases of nitrogen and phosphorus can pollute rivers, lakes and coastal waters.

National inspections of DWWTS show that typically half fail inspection with a quarter having problems that constitute a risk to human health or the environment. Many issues can be addressed through simple maintenance and de-sludging. However, in other cases DWWTS have serious structural problems that require remediation or replacement.

DWWTS requiring remediation or replacement may be identified by Local Authorities through inspections carried out under the National Inspection Plan, River Basin Management Plan or in investigating complaints (see below). In all these instances, the homeowner will be made aware of the issues by the Local Authority. However, many homeowners will be aware of issues and want to deal with them on their own initiative to ensure they protect the health of their family, the environment and comply with legal requirements.

Koopmans has extensive experience in rerplacing and installing septic tanks and will ensure your tank meets current regulations.

–Rainwater Harvesting:

We fit harvesting systems for rainwater. You can use the harvested water for toilet flushing, washing machines and garden use. If your tank runs empty, the system automatically switches to main supply which is built into all of our solutions.
Benefits of Rainwater Harvesting

• Rain water is valuable for its purity and softness. It has nearly neutral pH and is free from disinfection by-products, salts, minerals and other natural and man-made contaminants.
• Using rainwater reduces the amount of mains water used. In areas where water is metered and charged, using rainwater results in significant financial savings.
• The water is free: the only cost is your initial purchase of the system.
• Rainwater can be used for toilet flushing, laundry, showers, gardens, vehicle washing, machinery washdown, irrigation, industrial processes, etc. Plants and gardens thrive under irrigation with stored rainwater.

-Modern Lighting & Decoration:

General lighting, also known as ambient lighting, is the most common form of lighting in the home. This includes wall lamps, chandeliers, and others that illuminate the house’s rooms.

General lighting is important to a home because it improves the mood, creating a warm and bright ambiance as opposed to gloomy and unattractive spaces. Insufficient lighting will make family members and friends avoid the areas, while also making a room feel cramped.

A healthy amount of sunlight, to provide natural lighting to the interiors of a home, will play a part in creating relaxed and cheerful spaces. However, sunlight will not be able to reach all the corners of a house, and it is not always available. The proper placement of general lighting is required to fill in the gaps.

By building a decking area from your house, you can extend your living space to the outdoors and embrace your garden. We use materials such as concrete, stone, bricks but also tiles or cobbles. Patios are often decorated with plants and outdoor furniture. Blocks, flagstones or ceramics can be added to your decking/patio area to create focal points or create a designated seating area.
