FAQ

Hot water systems are an important part of most residential & commercial properties throughout the region. As a property owner, you would like to make sure the appliance works for as long as possible and delivers outstanding service for a number of years. That’s why it’s crucial to invest in a good brand hot water heater. However, the life of your heating system will depend on how frequently you have serviced it or if it is maintained on a regular basis.

A well-maintained device can provide more than 10 years of service. However, you’d have to get it serviced at least twice a year. If the system’s use on a single property were greater, maintenance will have to be conducted at least three to four times annually. One of the easiest ways to get all the guesswork out of the process is to hire an expert and certified plumber for this work.

They will arrive at specific times to inspect the system. If they notice something wrong, they will correct the situation before it gets out of control. This strategy goes a long way to ensure that your water heater works for several years and has outstanding efficiency. It will help avoid breakdowns and provide reliable results that you need. Experts can check that all the components of the system are working well and all the mechanisms are in good order.

It is not rare for property owners to use chemical drain cleaners to eliminate blockages. It’s one of the simplest ways to make sure their drains don’t have any clogs. Dirt, grease, food scraps, and other things can move into the pipes leading to blockages. Although chemical cleaners are freely available in local hardware stores and tend to be an excellent alternative for this particular work, they are not the best choice.

Most of these items are highly toxic and strong. Although they may be able to dissolve small drain blockages, they do more damage than good. Since they are so corrosive, they weaken the insides of the pipes which can lead to leaks if you use them often. Sometimes people also use home remedies such as baking soda and vinegar. To a certain extent, they are effective; but, it is much easier to employ the services of plumbing experts, such as us. We have the experience needed to handle this job to industry standards.

We deliver high-quality preventive maintenance strategies. During these inspection visits, all drains in your property will be checked by our team using CCTV drain cameras. The video feed from the camera would give them a fair idea as to whether there is a blockage. We use a variety of tools and devices, such as root cutters, electric eels and water pressure jets, to remove debris and blockage within the drain pipes. This is a lot more effective and safe choice compared to the use of hazardous and unsafe chemical drain cleaners.

Brown or rust-coloured water is a common concern in many properties. If you find this kind of water flowing out of the taps & showers in your house, it’s something you must not ignore. Only a professional plumber would be able to analyze the system closely and locate exactly where the problem rests. However, it is important to realize that rust or corrosion within the pipe is the key cause for colored water coming into your taps & showers.

Often sedimentation builds up inside the hot water system tank, and rust even builds up at the base of it. In both of these cases, you may find that the water flowing out of the taps is rust-colored. When you call us about this issue, our team will ensure that they inspect the whole system in depth. In most situations, certain minor repairs and repairs can help to fix the problem.

However, if the corrosion within the hot water tank is extreme or if the system is outdated, our experts can suggest that you upgrade your hot water system. In certain instances, this is the only way to stop the situation from occurring. However, you need to contact us as soon as you see this issue instead of neglecting it. Deferring the problem would only intensify and problem and result in more costly upgrades that you can potentially prevent with timely repairs and maintenance.

When you walk into the shower, you want to be certain you have hot water quickly. If that doesn’t happen, there could be a variety of explanations why the shower takes a longer time to heat up. In certain situations, that is because the water heater is very far away from the particular bath. It takes some time for the hot water to travel into the bathroom pipeline and into the shower when you turn it on.

If you have a hot water device with a lower capacity than you like, this could be another explanation why your shower takes longer to heat up. That would mean that the hot water was used by a family member, and it would take some time for it to be refilled. In certain situations, the issue exists because the pipe diameter is smaller than necessary, and the water does not flow to the shower at the very same rate that you anticipate.

Cold weather is another trigger of this problem, and if this is the case, insulating the pipes will fix it. Irrespective of the issue, you will need the services of a trained and licenced local plumber to determine the source of the problem. They will provide the correct strategy based on their diagnosis. This is one of the easiest ways to ensure that the heater is operating properly and that you have the appropriate amount of hot water in different parts of your house.

Both residential and commercial property owners grapple with water leakage issues on their premises. If the leak is severe, you should call a local plumber to repair it immediately. However, if there is a minor leakage and you ignore the problem, it can turn out to be dangerous before long. Often people don’t know that they have a water leak on their property until the issue worsens. This is partly attributed to the fact that most water pipelines and structures are concealed under structures, installations and walls; often they are even under the ground.

This means that the situation would have worsened dramatically by the time they discover the leakage. One of the safest ways to ensure that these kinds of problems do not arise on your property is to get routine plumbing repairs handled by experts like us. As part of plumbing maintenance services, our specialists will visit the property and examine the whole plumbing system from the bottom up and address the issues fast.

However, we advise our clients to call us as soon as they see some evidence of a major leak in the building.

Often, people who go out on holidays wonder if they should turn off the water supply to their houses. It’s quite a typical question that we get from clients. Many people power off the appliances and gadgets that will not be in operation when they are away from home. And it’s a smart idea to cut off the water supply as well. Most plumbing systems that have been built using the best techniques and high-grade components would not immediately have any issues. You generally do not have to worry about sudden issues cropping up in them.

However, it is best not to take this chance when you go on an extended holiday. It’s because there wouldn’t be someone to notice a problem while you’re gone. For example, if there is a sudden major leak or a pipe burst in your home while you’re away for a long time, it will result in severe flooding and damage to different features. This can means hassles and unnecessary expenses on repairs and replacements.

You can prevent this by making sure that you turn off the water supply to your house before you leave for your holiday. This is a basic precautionary measure that will save you a lot of hassle and cost. Another right way to make sure the plumbing system doesn’t unexpectedly give way is to maintain it on a frequent basis. Timely servicing by expert plumbing technicians helps ensure that it works as it does and provides many years of service.

Often, you may find that the water bill you pay is incredibly high. If you encounter this issue even without any significant change in the use of water in your house, there might be an issue with the plumbing system. Big water bills are often attributed to water leakage that has remained hidden at home. Often several taps, showers or concealed pipes can have leaks that trigger very large bills. Unfortunately, many residents are not aware of leaks in their houses and they continue to wonder about the high bills they get each month.

But if you’ve got many such leaks in your house, you’ll find that it drains a lot of water and you get these big bills. It also means that you are destroying valuable natural resources and burdening the ecosystem. If you believe that there is a water leak in your house, but not quite sure about it, you may perform a simple search.

The first thing you need to do is go to your water metre and note the reading. Then turn off the water metre and make sure all the water fixtures are switched off in your house. After a few hours, go back to the metre and verify the reading. If you note that it has inched forward, it means that you have a water leak, which is causing a high water bill. In this situation, you can contact us without hesitation, and our team will visit your house, perform a thorough inspection before fixing the leak.

If this sounds like anything you’re struggling with all the time, you must test your plumbing system promptly. In most cases, this low pressure is triggered by a variety of specific problems. If the pipe diameter from your water heater to multiple areas of the house is too narrow, this can trigger a problem. It means that if more than one person uses hot water in the house, somebody else will get less water when they’re using a shower or a tap.

In some cases, sedimentation build-up is the cause of less hot water when you’re taking a shower. It builds up at the base of the water heater, which can result in a drop in water pressure. While you may have noticed that there is a problem, but you might not know what the cause is. In order to do this, you need to hire a professional plumber with expertise in performing these jobs.

Our experts will be able to inspect every single part of the structure and determine what is wrong. Because they use the latest inspection methods, they can easily determine the root cause and location of the problem. Accurate diagnosis is critical in finding the right fixes and ensuring that you do not have to struggle with this issue in another part of your house. Also, it’s a good idea to get regular maintenance of the system done as they help plumbers spot problems early and fix them on time.
