    What Causes Blocked Drains in Avondale Heights?

    The main culprit of blocked drains is grease. Kitchen sink blockages are easily avoidable, but many people experience them regardless. Remember not to wash all your food waste down the drain! Shower and bath blockages in Avondale Heights are often caused by hair. Hair that is especially long has a tendency to get caught in drains. You’d be amazed how large a hair blockage can become – we’ve seen some huge hair clogs. Toilet blockages are common in Avondale Heights. Things like wet wipes, nappies, sanitary items and even plastic toilet deodorisers can all get stuck in your drains and prevent proper flushing. Remember to use your toilet how it is intended – human waste and toilet paper are all they are made for.

    Do I Need A Leaking Pipe Repair Service?

    A burst pipe can be a serious plumbing issue. In order to avoid health issues or damage to your home, keep an eye out for the signs or a leaking pipe underground or in your wall or roof. Have you noticed a decrease in your shower or tap water pressure? You may have a pipe that’s leaking and affecting water flow. You should also keep an eye out for marks from water on your walls or ceiling. Even if a pipe is hidden, the signs of leaking water may not be. Getting help from a professional can help you diagnose the issue and cause of the problem. If a leak has been left unattended for a long period of time, you may notice strange pools of water or damp sections in your backyard. If you notice this, contact your local plumber for underground burst pipe repair in Avondale Heights.

      Our team of professional plumbers are committed to your family’s health and safety. We are taking a number of measures to help stop the spread. Firstly, we are monitoring our own health and if one of our employees feels ill, they will immediately visit a doctor and stay home. When our team member comes, they glove up and wear a mask.

       

      Our trucks are equipped with spray disinfectant and protective covers. Every plumber regularly disinfects their tools as well. We have also stopped shaking hands with our no contact policy and will stay 1.5m away from customers at all times. We simply ask that you let us know if anyone in your home has been exposed and is under quarantine, or if they are under a doctor’s care for the virus.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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)
