Plumbing is one of those things you don’t think about - until it stops working. And while you probably realise a blocked drain is no fun for anyone, there are much more serious consequences of plumbing problems than a messy bathroom or kitchen floor.

Keeping your plumbing up to date and in good working order could mean the difference between keeping your family healthy or not.

Plumbing leaks are a major cause of mould growth in homes. One leaky pipe behind a wall can spell big trouble. Not only does mould cause breathing issues, but it can detrimental to those with pre-existing conditions, infants, and the elderly. And even worse, you might not even know your plumbing has a problem until it’s too late.

plumbing FAQ's

What are some common residential plumbing problems?

Plumbing problems are never fun, but they’re unfortunately an inevitable part of owning a home. Common plumbing problems that homeowners may encounter include blocked drains, leaky pipes, low water pressure and running toilets. These problems can be caused by a variety of factors, such as age, wear and tear and improper installation or maintenance. It's important to address plumbing issues as soon as they arise to prevent further damage and potential health hazards.

How can I tell if I have a leak in my plumbing system?

Leaks in your plumbing system can go unnoticed for a long time, causing extensive damage to your home and property. Signs of a leak may include damp or discoloured walls, floors or ceilings, an increase in your water bill or a decrease in water pressure. If you suspect a leak in your plumbing system, it's best to call a licensed plumber to locate and fix the issue as soon as possible.

What should I do if I have a burst pipe?

A burst pipe can cause significant damage to your home and property, so it's important to act quickly. The first step is to turn off your water supply to prevent further damage. Next, call a licensed plumber to assess the situation and make repairs. In the meantime, try to contain the water by placing buckets under the leak and using towels to soak up any standing water.

How often should I get my plumbing system inspected?

Regular plumbing inspections can help prevent costly repairs and catch potential issues before they become major problems. It's recommended that homeowners have their plumbing system inspected by a licensed plumber at least once a year. This will ensure that everything is working properly and help identify any potential problems before they cause damage to your home.

How can I prevent sewer backups in my business establishment?

Sewer backups can cause major disruptions to your business and potentially expose employees and customers to health hazards. To prevent backups, make sure that your drains are not being used for anything other than their intended purpose. Avoid flushing anything down the toilet besides human waste and toilet paper and avoid pouring grease or oil down your sinks. You should also have your sewer lines inspected and cleaned regularly by a licensed plumber.

How can I ensure compliance with local plumbing codes?

Local plumbing codes are in place to ensure the safety and health of the public, and failure to comply with these codes can result in fines and potential legal action. To ensure compliance with local plumbing codes, hire a licensed plumber who is knowledgeable about relevant codes and regulations. They will be able to make sure your plumbing system meets all necessary requirements and avoid any potential violations.

How can I detect leaks in my commercial plumbing system?

Leaks in your commercial plumbing system can be difficult to detect, especially if they’re located behind walls or underground. However, there are several methods that licensed plumbers can use to detect leaks, such as video camera inspections, pressure testing and infrared imaging. Regular inspections and maintenance of your plumbing system can also help prevent leaks from occurring in the first place.
