Types of plumbing issues and how to fix them

Broken Pipes

A frequent issue that can result in water damage and the formation of mould is leaking pipes. Turn off the water supply and get a licenced plumber to fix any leaky pipes immediately. Use a pipe clamp or sellotape to temporarily stop the leak in the interim.

obstructed drains

Another typical plumbing problem that might result in water leaking into your washbasin or shower is clogged drains. If a plunger doesn't work, you can call a professional plumber who will use a hydro jet or drain snake to clear the obstruction.

Flushing toilets

Your water bill can go up and a lot of water is wasted when the toilet is running. Make sure the flapper valve is sealing properly, and if that doesn't fix the issue, contact a licenced plumber to replace the valve or any damaged parts.

Water pressure is low

Having low water pressure might make it challenging to wash dishes or take a shower. Look for buildup in your showerhead and tap aerator, which you may remove with vinegar or replace. If that doesn't resolve the problem, a qualified plumber can identify and resolve it.

Water Heater Problems

Check the thermostat setting and make sure the pilot light is lit if your water heater isn't producing hot water. If it doesn't fix the issue, get in touch with a qualified plumber to identify and fix it.
