Plumbing signs you need to look out for

Slow-Draining

When your sinks, showers, or bathtubs are slow to drain, it's more than just an inconvenience. As a family business that prioritizes efficiency, we've seen how ignored drain issues can escalate into serious problems. A single slow drain might indicate a localised blockage, but multiple slow drains could point to main sewer line issues. Our experienced team can quickly diagnose and resolve these problems before they lead to costly repairs.

Discoloured Water Concerns

Noticing brown, yellow, or cloudy water? This isn't just unsightly – it could indicate serious plumbing problems. Our commitment to excellence means we thoroughly investigate the root cause, whether it's corroded pipes, sediment buildup, or main water line issues. Our modern approach to plumbing ensures we find efficient, long-lasting solutions.

Low Water Pressure Problems

Drawing from our extensive experience since 2008, we know that low water pressure can stem from various sources: from simple fixture blockages to more complex pipe corrosion issues. Our team uses the latest technology to accurately diagnose and resolve pressure problems, ensuring your home's plumbing works efficiently.

Bubbling Walls

Water stains or bubbling paint often indicate hidden leaks. As a family business that treats your home like our own, we understand the importance of prompt action to prevent structural damage and mold growth. Our courteous team uses modern detection methods to pinpoint and repair leaks with minimal disruption.

Noisy Pipes

Strange sounds from your pipes aren't just annoying – they're often warning signs. Whether it's banging, squealing, or gurgling, our experienced technicians can identify the cause and implement effective solutions. We pride ourselves on explaining issues clearly and providing long-term fixes rather than quick patches.

Unpleasant Drain Odours

Persistent smell from drains can indicate serious plumbing issues. With our commitment to customer satisfaction and modern solutions, we'll not only resolve the immediate odor but also address the underlying cause to prevent future problems.

Unstable Toilet Concerns

A wobbling toilet might seem minor, but it can lead to significant water damage. Our thorough approach ensures we fix not just the visible problem but check for any potential underlying issues that could cause future concerns.

Plumbing Maintenance Tips

While most of us would agree that the plumbing in our homes is important, it’s easy to overlook niggly things that need doing or to fall behind on maintaining it. This is understandable as the weeks are busy and by the end of each day plumbing maintenance is the last thing on most people’s mind! However, keeping on top of things by following these simple tips is both quick and easy - and can save you hassle and expense further down the line.

Keep your drains unclogged

It’s very easy for showers and bath drains to get clogged with hair and other debris that get caught in them over the months. Cleaning around your plug hole every week when you clean your bathroom helps, but nevertheless, your drain is likely to still get clogged and you may notice water draining very slowly at points, or your shower tray holding water while you are in it.

To tackle this, simply pour a mix of hot water and vinegar down your plug hole when this happens, and clean away any hair and gunk you can reach near the top. This should immediately improve how it drains away water.

Be on the look-out for leaks

Leaks are never fun to deal with, and as well as causing damage to your home they also waste water and can cause an increase in your bills. The earlier a leak is spotted, generally the less damage it causes, so regularly check around your washing machine, sinks, toilet, shower and bath to see if there is any water escaping. If you notice any, call your local plumber who can investigate and arrange for the leak to be fixed. Doing this as soon as you can should minimise damage caused.
