    Early Warning Signs of Blocked Drains in Melton South

    Don’t leave a blockage to the point where your sinks overflow or toilets don’t flush. As experienced plumbers, we know what the indicators of a blockage are, and we’re here to help you understand them. Just like many other plumbing problems, early intervention can be the difference between a small fee and a costly catastrophe. A sluggishly draining sink is one of the first symptoms of a blocked drain. This is one sign that will often be ignored by Melton South homeowners. Blocked drains can sometimes cause pipes to rattle or shake as water attempts to flow. If a pipe is clogged locally, the sound will appear to be quite close. If the blockage is sitting further down the drain, you might notice the same sound when multiple fixtures are being used.

    Pipe Leaks Could Create Mould Growth in Melton South Homes

    Mould prospers in wet areas with minimal light, and a pipe, which is usually located behind walls or under floorboards, provides an ideal starting point. Mould may not be visible, but it could still be harming you. Small spores will float through the air, stick to whatever they touch and then start growing. There are a variety of health concerns associated with mould exposure including coughing, congestion, inflamed airways and even asthma with long term exposure.

      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)
