Leaking taps
To many people, a leaky tap or faucet is often something that can be ignored. Yet, left over time, this can lead to a high utility or water bill and may even result in greater damage to your plumbing or home.
Luckily, if noticed early, a leaky tap can often be fixed. Common solutions include replacing worn or inefficient washers. Even if the entire tap needs to be replaced then this can be completed with relative ease.
Clogged drains
Found commonly in the bathroom and kitchen, drains are another area open to damage or wear and tear. A drain is designed to allow water through, keeping larger items out. However, when this gets blocked the water has nowhere to go, clogging up the sink, bath or shower basin as a result.
Depending on what’s causing the problem, there are various plumbing supplies that can fix the problem. A simple plunger might remove a blockage near the water surface via suction whilst cleaning the piping by unscrewing it from the fixture could remove any blockages found further along your plumbing.
Blocked toilets
Working in a similar function to a clogged drain, blocked toilets are also a common occurrence. Here it is more often a buildup of waste rather causing the problem.
Again, a simple plunger will do the trick. Failing this a sewer snake or other device can infiltrate around the U-bend. In more extreme cases, the pipes themselves might need addressing. If you aren’t sure what to do, give Able Plumbing a call to take a look and fix the situation.
Faulty water heaters
Hot water is an important part of any house. As such, the water heater is of prime importance. Yet they can often break down, resulting in a loss of hot water in the house.
There are many reasons for this. Most of these problems can be addressed with new heating supplies which are inexpensive and easy to manage.
Under-sink pipes
The kitchen sink might be the most commonly used area of plumbing in the home, so it makes sense that it’s a common area for problems. The pipes under the sink, often doubling as a kitchen storage area, can often play suspect to leaks.
Often, this is caused by the pipe being knocked out of place. Usually tightening the affected area will solve the problem. In the case of extreme damage or scrapes, where an actual hole in a piece of pipe is causing leakage, the pipe may need to be replaced.
