    Blocked Drain Health Hazards

    A blocked drain isn’t just messy and inconvenient – it could also put your and your family in harm’s way. To begin with, a drain blockage will create growth of bacteria, potentially leading to allergic reactions and diseases. If a clog sits for long enough, water can begin to flow back up your pipes. This water has germs and bacteria. If you continue to use sinks or showers, you could be exposed to harmful waste water. These bacteria can spread through the air in your home. If you or one of your family members has allergies, this could be a serious problem. Conditions like eczema, hay fever and asthma can all be exacerbated under these conditions.

    What Causes Leaking Pipes in Ascot Vale?

    A leaking or burst pipe is a plumbing issue nobody wants to experience. There are a variety of ways they can occur. A change in the foundations of your home as it settles over time could make your water lines move around. In a worst case scenario, they could disconnect or break completely. Excessive water pressure may also cause harmful wear and tear on your pipes. When fluid moves through your drains at high speed, the pressure will make your pipes more susceptible to bursting. Tree roots are also a culprit of many plumbing issues including underground burst pipes. Tiny fractures in a pipe can allow water to seep into the surrounding soil. This will attract tree roots to grow towards them and eventually force their way inside. If they happens, you will need emergency burst pipe repair in Ascot Vale. Additionally, corrosion may be a cause of a burst sewer pipe. In older homes, some people experience leaking galvanised pipes or leaking copper pipes.

    How Do I Know If I Need To Replace My Hot Water System?

    Generally, a hot water system will begin to fail after ten years of usage. If you have had your water heater for a long time and its getting less efficient, your parts are probably getting worn down badly. Rather than spending money to have it repaired, simply buy a new heater. Repairs are better suited to systems with a lot of life ahead of them. You can’t teach an old heater new tricks!

    If you begin to notice water or rust coming from your hot water system, you should consider buying a replacement as soon as possible. Corrosion means you’ve got irreversible wear and tear – don’t bother trying to have it repaired.

      How often should a hot water system be serviced?

      You need to check the relief valves that they are in working order every 4 months and replace these valves every five years. The anode in an electric and solar hot water system requires replacement every five years as well.

      My toilet is running what can I do?

      A running toilet is usually the result of a broken or faulty flapper (aka, flush valve or “tank” ball) in the bottom of the tank that needs to be replaced. The chain in your tank could be the culprit as well. If it is too long it can get caught under the flapper. Both problems are easily fixed.

      If I have a major water leak in my home what should I do?

      First, turn off your water supply at the main shut-off valve. As a homeowner it’s important to know where this is located and educate your family member as well. Second, always contact a professional plumber during emergencies. And don’t touch any wet electrical fittings – call in an electrician to deal with that.

      What would cause the water to be rusty and brown?

      Corrosion/rust forms on the inside of water pipes. A change in water pressure will cause this rust to turn loose and come through the taps. Sediment from the hot water heater. If the glass lining in the hot water heater may be compromised, allowing the metal jacket to rust. If this is the case, you are not long till the hot water system starts to leak.

      When I turn off a faucet, I hear a banging noise. What causes it?

      This is called "water hammer". When water travelling quickly through a pipe has to stop ( when you close the valve) the force of the water shakes or vibrates any pipe not strapped securely. A mechanical water hammer arrestor installed on your distribution system will usually correct this. (Or don't close the valve so quickly)
