    The Hazards of Drain Cleaning Liquids in Oak Park

    A blocked drain is frustrating, and it’s understandable that you may want to find the cheapest and fastest solution. However, there are a number of reasons you should bypass the drain cleaning products in stores and call a plumber in Oak Park instead. Firstly, drain clearing liquids almost always contain toxic acidic substances. If your skin comes into contact with them, you could suffer caustic burns. These are extremely painful and will often require hospitalisation. Drain cleaning liquids aren’t just a danger to you. Pets can get seriously hurt by these products if they are exposed. In some cases, it may even be fatal. Once they end up down the drains, they will also get into our waterways eventually and potentially harm our marine wildlife and environment.

    The Signs of a Burst Pipe in Oak Park

    Oak Park homeowners may know that a puddle can indicate a burst pipe, but they could be unaware of some of the other symptoms that can occur. If you notice more than one of the signs we’ve listed below, call a local emergency plumber in Oak Park.

    • Low water pressure
    • Stains on your walls, floors or ceiling

    Do I Need A Hot Water System Replacement?

    Hot water systems are one of the most crucial appliances in Oak Park homes. They are used for all kinds of things such as cooking, cleaning, bathing and showering. However, a lot of people aren’t aware of how much they actually rely on their water heater. In some cases, a system will be showing clear signs that it needs to be replaced, but uneducated homeowners simply ignore the problem. Why do this when you could learn more from Local Plumber Melbourne. One typical sign that your system needs to be replaced is old age. Generally, water heaters last for 8-12 years. Rather than waiting for a complete breakdown, aim to replace it after 10 years. You should also replace your heating unit if you notice signs of corrosion. This is easy to see as your hot water will have an ugly, rusty tone when you look at it.

      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)
