    Can I Deal With a Blocked Drain By Myself in Sydenham?

    There are many plumbing do-it-yourself videos on the internet to try and help people unblock their drains. Although you may be tempted to try and go for a quick fix, you should be careful not to overlook the hazards that a blocked drain can lead to when handling gases or drain cleaners. If one shower, toilet, sink or stormwater drain in particular is blocked, you should avoid using the affected fixture. This will help to avoid an overflow if water or raw sewerage. Do not attempt to pour any drain cleaners down the pipe, as this will lead to further issues. You should always contact a local Sydenham drain clearing expert to help you clear your blockage. Local Plumber Melbourne can travel anywhere in Sydenham at any time to sort out your clogs.

    What Should I Do If I Get A Burst Pipe in Sydenham?

    If a pipe in your home bursts, don’t freak out. First, switch off your water supply to that pipe. If there is no shut-off valve near the leak, switch off your Sydenham water supply from your home’s main valve. Next, clear out the affected pipe by draining it. You can do this by turning on all fixtures connected to that pipe and running the water into a bucket. Then it’s time to call your trusted local Sydenham plumbers.

    How Do I Know If Something’s Wrong with My Sydenham Hot Water System?

    Nobody wants to have a cold shower, especially not when it comes as an early morning surprise. Even though you might choose to put up with it while you’re on a camping trip, you shouldn’t have to tolerate a cold shower in the comfort of home. Here’s a number of things that can cause issues in your hot water system:

     

    • The heating elements are worn or broken
    • Your thermostat is malfunctioning
    • Your system is leaking
    • There are electrical faults within the system
    • Your hot water system is at the end of its lifespan (typically around 8 – 12 years)

We have hundreds of satisfied customers across the city and we’re here to stay.

      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)
