In order to eat away at everything from hair to plastic, drain clearing products contain highly acidic chemicals. A small spill or incorrect protective gear are all it takes for excruciating chemical burns to occur. If these substances ended up in your eye or if a child swallowed them, the consequences could be enormous. It’s not unheard of for Quantong residents to experience serious injury as a result of using drain cleaning liquids. People who aren’t aware of the dangers from these products may store them under the sink or other areas where children could reach them. The brightly coloured packaging could be appealing to a child and they could easily hurt themselves by accidently coming into contact with the liquids. Don’t risk these scary scenarios in your Quantong home, call the blocked drain experts at Local Plumber Melbourne instead.
The first step in dealing with a burst or leaking pipe is to switch off the water supply quickly. If you don’t do this, you could easily experience damage to your home. After doing this, turn your taps on to drain out excess water. Start with cold water taps, then turn off your heating system and turn on hot water taps. After this, call a plumber and attempt to clear excess water while they’re on their way. Towels, rags or a mop are a fantastic way to clean up water that’s leaked through your Quantong home.
There are a variety of issues that tend to occur before a hot water system breaks completely. If you notice water dripping from the bottom of your unit, it may be time to get a replacement. Leaks in your system often mean that your water heater is no longer able to handle the pressure or temperatures inside the tank. If you have an electric hot water system in Quantong, you could even experience an electrical short due to a leak. If your water looks metallic or rusty, your hot water system could be failing due to corrosion. Generally, this will require a complete replacement service. In order to figure out if the issue is occurring in your system, take a look at your cold water. If there is rust present here too, the issue may be occurring in your pipes rather than your hot water system.

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)
