FAQ

Most residential and commercial buildings will have a hot water system fitted in them. Property owners need to check that this appliance works properly at all times so that they have a hot water source whenever they need it. If you invest in a system of a leading brand, you can be confident that it will last for at a minimum of 10 years. Normal servicing and prompt repairs will also increase the life expectancy by a few years. Whenever people buy a hot water heater, they want to know how much servicing it would need.

This detail is usually mentioned in the document that comes with the item. However, we suggest that you have the service completed at least every six months since it goes a long way to maintaining the performance of the device, keeping it running properly for several years to come. It’s also a perfect way to identify problems early and repair them before they get out of control.

However, if you have a commercial property or your residence has more members and the consumption of hot water is greater, it is much better to have the machine serviced every three or four months. The easiest way to maintain the installation in good shape is to employ a professional plumber who will come to your premises and check the device and create a service schedule. They will inspect everything, including the controls, the machine itself, and the pipes that lead out of it.

Most people prefer chemical drain cleaners when it comes to treating drain pipes, since they’re readily available in different stores and supermarkets. Although these items appear quite effective in removing blocked drains, they do a lot of harm to the pipeline interiors. Because the impact isn’t visible from the outside, most people don’t know it happens. When the pipes are weakened due to rust, the only alternative is to repair them or perform pipe relining.

Chemical drain cleaners are both powerful and harmful, rendering them dangerous for use in homes with children, the elderly, or pets. Calling a skilled plumber to routinely maintain drainage systems is much easier. In this work, the plumber will utilise a CCTV drain camera to decide whether the drain pipes have a blockage. This thorough examination will help them assess the problem before it spirals out of control and offer a viable solution.

When clearing up any drainpipe blockages, they steer away from dangerous chemicals. Instead, they use water pressure jets, root cutting equipment, and other similar devices to clear even the most resistant blockages. We also urge you to consider using proactive plumbing repairs as part of routine maintenance. This will save you time and hassles in coping with long-term drainage blockages or problems caused by toxic drain cleaners.

It may be troubling to see brown or rusty water running from a shower or taps in your house. This is a widespread plumbing issue many residential and commercial property owners come across. This is usually triggered by sediment build-up within the shower fitting, the pipes, or even the associated hot water unit. However, you wouldn’t be able to tell precisely where this problem is and would need to hire a qualified plumbing specialist for an inspection.

Never ignore this problem, as using brown or rusty water is not safe. When you contact us with this request, our team will use advanced equipment and resources to precisely assess the issue. They will also carefully inspect the hot water tank, all the pipes, and the shower. A detailed examination is the easiest way to assess where the problem is to provide the correct solution.

One of the easiest ways to prevent these problems and excessive repair costs is to consider routine plumbing maintenance. During these visits, our local plumbers will inspect all the infrastructure and also search for certain problems. When these issues are discovered early, the solutions can become quicker and less complex. We’re very straightforward with our approach and will just propose required fixes. If we find your hot water system old with serious rust build-up, we might suggest a replacement.

When you go in for a shower, you want to make sure you have the amount of hot water you like. However, if you notice that your shower takes a very long time to heat up, a competent plumber can check this issue. Different problems can arise due to which you find insufficient hot water in your shower. Perhaps it’s because you have really narrow pipes connecting to the bathroom. They are unable to transport enough water.

In other situations, the problem may be either within the pipe or the showerhead itself, where sedimentation builds up. Similarly, rust or debris may be the other cause for this issue in the hot water tank. Since several factors may trigger this problem, a detailed analysis of all these components is required. Only a certified, specialist can perform this job thoroughly. They would have the equipment and tools needed to inspect all the installations and components in a detailed manner.

This also improves the accuracy of their diagnoses and they are able to provide suitable fixes.

If the shower in your home takes a long time to heat up, don’t overlook this problem. If you call us on time, we will examine the whole system in depth and eliminate any issues from escalating.

If you’re struggling with water leakage in your house, it’s something you’d like to fix without waiting. Water leaks can be small or major. Unfortunately, since most pipes are concealed from view, you cannot assess how serious the problem is. If you’ve seen water leaking from walls or floors, some water pooling in your home, or damage to wooden structures, it means you’ve got a pipe leak in your home.

You must contact us as soon as you see these indications, and we’ll provide timely services. Our team uses the new leak detection technology. In the past, our plumbers have managed several related issues and they are extremely experienced and qualified to work to industry standards.

This is one query many of our clients pose when we go to a property for routine plumbing repairs. If you’re going out for an extended break, you’ve got lots to concentrate on before leaving. For e.g., you’ll have to ensure the gas appliances are switched off and the power points are powered off. Similarly, you’d like to know if it’s a better idea to turn off water supply to the house while you’re on holiday.

Plumbing networks that are operated properly and serviced frequently will not usually break down. But because all of these systems are out of view, any problems that occur are not readily visible. That also means if anything happens to the network like a pipe bursts while you’re not at home, it may cause a lot of chaos and disruption to different features. That’s what you wouldn’t like, so it’s a smart idea to turn off your home’s water source while you’re out for an extended vacation.

Some homeowners though, don’t want to do this and prefer leaving the water supply on maybe because they have automated sprinkler systems on their premises that need a water supply. In this situation, we suggest calling us for thorough system inspection before you leave. Our team can check all components, use leak detection equipment to assess whether faults exist and repair them on time. This is a smart way to avoid any plumbing-related issues when you are away.

If you notice that you pay disproportionately high water bills, you need to review this before the situation gets out of hand. If there’s no shift in water use on your house, there’s no explanation why you should pay increased water bills. You need to have this reviewed immediately. Generally, a high water bill could be caused by a higher percentage of leakages in taps & toilets on your house. Often this can cause a burst or leaking pipe.

Because these leaks aren’t apparent, you wouldn’t realise their presence until the situation gets out of control. However, if you are paying high water bills, you can do a simple search before you contact us. Check the reading on the water metre. After that, don’t use your home’s water fixtures for a few hours. Go back to the water counter and confirm readings. If it’s risen, it means your property’s plumbing has some leakage.

If there are signs of water leakage or pooling, contact a specialist to double-check where the problem lies. In our job, we use the latest leak detection equipment and thoroughly inspect all the plumbing infrastructure in your house. When we’ve found the cause of the leak, we’ll deliver effective solutions so you don’t have to struggle with the high water bill issue again. The best way to avoid this problem is to call us in for regular plumbing maintenance and we will check all the systems in a detailed manner to rule out the possibility of lurking plumbing issues.

If you notice when you’re showering, that there’s low water pressure when someone else uses a tap at that same time in that zone, you need to get a detailed inspection of your plumbing system. This problem is typical in older properties where pipes and/or the hot water system are over ten years old. An older unit wouldn’t have the same heating capacity as a modern unit. So, when more than one individual attempts to use hot water simultaneously in a single area of the home, it causes low water pressure.

In certain situations, very narrow pipes trigger this problem. These pipes cannot meet the need for hot water in the taps and showers and it leads to lo water pressure issues. So if someone flips on a tap when you’re showering, you’ll notice less water pressure. One way to solve this issue is to contact a professional plumber who will conduct a detailed check on all the components and provide a suitable solution.

In our job, we use modern leak detection technology and would also use our experience and expertise to assess whether the problem is in the water heater; the pipes or the showerhead itself. Once we’ve identified the root cause of the fault, we’ll have a satisfactory fix as soon as possible. If your heating system is old, we’ll tell you about it and suggest replacing it if the repairs won’t solve the problem. In some cases, replacement of the faulty or old systems proves to be a better option.

The plumbing infrastructure on your property must be properly installed, serviced routinely, and fixed on time if something goes wrong. Different services and maintenance have different costs. Whenever when you get some plumbing work done, you want to know the expense of hiring a plumber in advance. It’s a wise decision to get quotes from different professionals. This gives you some comparison points and helps you make a better decision.

Compare the costs, check their credibility, customisation and capabilities. Recognizing that severe plumbing issues can be expensive to repair is important. Therefore, call the plumber and inquire about the cost of a specific service. Many plumbing companies bill by the hour, whereas some charge by the job. Highly established businesses may have marginally higher costs but guarantee their work. On the other hand, novice businesses might quote lower prices, but end up compromising performance.

It’s never a good idea to hire someone that charges lower rates without checking all other factors like experience and efficiency. When you have a clear idea of a certain company’s pricing structure, it can help you decide whether you want to employ them. We have been working in this sector for many years, supplying our customers with value for money. Our services are of incredibly high quality, but affordable. We also give our clients free quotes so you can consider what the expense of a specific job will be long before you engage our services.
