Blocked pipes are quite a frustrating plumbing issue, but they’re generally quite easy to notice. It’s very important that you get to them quickly since almost all of your home’s plumbing connects to one main drain. If a blockage occurs in your sewerage or stormwater drain, your waste and water will have nowhere to go and get clogged. Keep an eye out for the signs below and contact a local Toolern Vale plumber if you notice them.
If you notice water taking far longer than usual to drain from your sink, you may have a blockage down the line. If something seems wrong, you should trust your instincts and contact a plumber.
When they are working properly, your pipes shouldn’t make any noise. If they’re making unusual noises, you could have something blocking the water flow in your pipes.
Leaking pipes are a very annoying issue that can cause a lot of trouble. The easiest way to deal with leaking and burst pipes is to avoid them in the first place. There are a variety of ways they can be caused. As your home’s foundations settle into place with time, the water lines can move. In some cases, your pipes can break as a result. If your home has very high water pressure, your pipes may also begin to suffer. If this issue continues for extended periods of time, the risk of your pipes bursting becomes higher. A sudden change in the directional flow of water can also be too much for your pipes to deal with and you might eventually experience leaks as a result. Some homes in Toolern Vale use galvanised steel piping, which is often vulnerable to corrosion. Once a pipe starts to rust, the chance of leaks or cracks in the future become much higher.
Hot water systems are one of the most important parts of your Toolern Vale home. When they begin to fail, major issues can ensue. There are a number of signs that your system is no longer viable. A lot of the time, a failing hot water system will begin to corrode internally and make unusual sounds while operating.

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)
