Top 5 Plumbing Issues
Every home and business places across Australia
will encounter unforeseen circumstances that
requires you to call out a plumber. These
problems come in a wide variety of forms, but
some of these issues are more common than others.
Here is the most common plumbing issues across
Australia.
Pipe Relining Over years, pipes that are used in
sewage and water systems develop holes. These
holes need to be repaired to prevent costly and
disastrous leakages. Also, if there is a broken
pipe, your entire plumbing system may be inactive
until the time it is repaired. The big concern
with old pipes that are located underground is
that to repair or replace them, they need be dug
up unless you use pipe relining. Tap
Leaks Another common plumbing problem is that of
leaky taps. The dripping sound can be rather
annoying and, on top of that, such leaks add to
your water bill. This problem is often down to a
faulty washer, which could be caused by
over-tightening of a tap. So you will need to
remove the damaged washer and replace it with a
new one. However, it is important to confirm
relevant laws in your area, as do-it-yourself
repairs on taps are prohibited in some places.
Hot Water Problem Hot water installations have an
important role in our lives so much so that a
breakdown of your hot water installation will
result in significant inconvenience. Whether you
are currently using a gas hot water system and
wanting to switch, or you want to switch from
electric to gas hot water installation, you have
found the best hot water plumber available.
Blocked Drains Problems with blocked drains can
often lead to a very messy and expensive clean
up. In order to avoid blockage of the drains it
is important to recognise what causes it. Blocked
drain causes can be everywhere and some of the
most common causes are fats, oils, grease, hair,
toys, canister tops and food remnants.
Gas Leaks Gas leaks can be very dangerous. Where
a leak is suspected a gas fitter will be able to
use gas fitting tools such as a bubble leak
detector or special leak detection fluid to test
for possible gas leaks.Signs of gas leaks include
a faint smell of gas, or an unusually high bill.
You can do a simple do-it-yourself test to find
out if you have a gas leak by turning off all the
gas appliances in your property. Take a meter
reading before you go to bed and then again in
the morning. If the number has changed, you have
a gas leak.
