Almost every residential and commercial setting will have a hot water system installed on it. Property owners need to ensure that this unit is functioning correctly at all times so that they have a hot water supply when they need it. When you invest in a hot water system of a good brand, you can be sure that it will last for at least 10 years. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can extend the life span by a few years as well. Whenever people are buying a hot water system, they want to know how often they need to service it.

This information is generally mentioned in the manual that comes with the product. However, we recommend that you get the service done at least every six months as it goes a long way in ensuring the functionality of the system, keeping it performing well for many years. It is also an excellent way to spot problems early and fix them before they get out of hand.

However, if you have a commercial property or your household has many members, and the hot water usage is higher, it is far better to get the system serviced every three to four months. The best way to keep the unit in good condition is to hire the services of a licensed plumber who will come to your property to inspect the system and provide a schedule for the servicing. They will check everything, including the valves, the unit itself, and the pipes that lead out from it.

When it comes to cleaning drain pipes, many people use chemical drain cleaners as they are easily available in various stores and supermarkets. While it seems like these products are incredibly useful in clearing blocked drains, they cause a lot of damage to the interiors of the pipelines. Since the damage is not noticeable from the outside, most people do not know it occurs. Once the pipes get damaged due to corrosion, the only option would be to replace them or get pipe relining done.

These products are strong and toxic as well, which makes them unsafe for use in homes where there are children or vulnerable older adults or pets. It is far better to call in a professional plumber for regular maintenance of drainage systems. As part of this job, the plumber will use a CCTV drain camera to determine if there is any blockage building up in the drain pipes. This detailed inspection can help them determine the problem before it gets out of hand, and they can provide you with a suitable solution.

While cleaning up any drainpipe blockages, they also stay away from using harmful chemicals. Instead, they use water pressure jets, root cutters and other similar devices which are in very useful in removing even the most stubborn blockages. We also recommend that you opt for preventive plumbing maintenance as part of your regular property maintenance requirements. This can save you a lot of time and trouble in the long-term of dealing with drainage blockages or issues caused by chemical drain cleaners.

It can be quite alarming to notice brown or rusty water coming out of a shower or taps in your home. This problem is quite a common plumbing issue that many residential and commercial property owners face. This is typically caused due to dust build-up inside the shower fitting, the pipes, or even the hot water unit connected to it. However, you would not be able to determine exactly where this problem is and would need to hire the services of a skilled plumbing professional for an inspection.

It is never good to neglect this issue as it is not safe to use water that is brown or rusty. When you call us with this requirement, our team will use specialised equipment and tools to determine precisely where the problem is.

When you go in to take a shower, you want to be sure that you get the amount of hot water that you need then. However, if you find that your shower is taking a very long time to heat up, you would need to get this problem checked by a professional plumber. There could be various issues due to which you find that there is inadequate hot water in your shower. Sometimes the problem is because you have very narrow pipes leading to the shower. They are unable to carry the amount of water required.

In other cases, it could be because there is a sedimentation build-up inside the pipe or the showerhead itself. Similarly, rust or sediment build-up in the hot water tank could be the other reason for this problem. Since multiple things could cause this issue, a detailed check of all of these components would be needed. Only a licensed and skilled professional would be able to handle this job thoroughly.

If you find yourself dealing with water leakage in your home, it is something that you would need to address without delay. Water leakages can be minor or significant. Unfortunately, since most of the pipes are hidden from view, you can’t determine how severe the problem is.

This is one question many of our clients ask us whenever we go in for regular plumbing maintenance to the properties. If you are heading out on an extended holiday, you have a lot of things to focus on before closing up the house. For example, you will make sure that the gas appliances are turned off, and the powerpoints are switched off. Similarly, you would want to know whether it’s a good idea to turn the water supply off to your home while you are heading out on vacation.

Plumbing systems that have been maintained correctly and serviced regularly will generally not break down. However, since many of these installations are out of sight, any issues that crop up are not easily noticeable. It also means that if something happens to the system like a pipe burst when you are not at home, it can create a lot of mess and damage to various features in your home.

This is something you do not want, which is why it is a good idea to turn off the water supply to your home if you are going away on an extended holiday. However, some property owners do not want to do this and prefer to keep the water supply on. In this case, we recommend that you call us in for a detailed inspection of the system before you decide to leave. Our team will inspect all the systems, use leak detection equipment to determine whether there are any problems and fix them on time.

If you find that you are paying excessively high water bills, it is something you need to check before the problem gets out of control. If there has been no change in the water usage on your property, there is no reason why you should be paying escalated water bills. This is something you need to get checked without delay. Generally, a high water bill could be caused due to a larger number of leakages in taps and toilets on your property. Sometimes a burst or leaking pipe might be causing this problem.

Since some of these leakages would not be evident, you wouldn’t know of their existence until the problem gets out of hand. However, if you are dealing with high water bills, there is a quick check which you can do before you contact us. First, make a note of its reading at that time. After that, do not use any of the water appliances or fixtures in your home for a few hours. Then go back to the water metre and check the reading. If it has increased, it means that there is some leakage on your property.

If there are signs of water leaks or pooling, you would have to call in a professional to double-check where the problem lies. We use the latest leak detection equipment in our work and do a thorough inspection of all the systems on your property. Once we have identified the origin of the leak, we will provide suitable fixes so that you do not have to deal with the high water bill problem again.

If you find that there is low water pressure when you are showering, and someone else uses a tap at the same time in that area you need to get a thorough inspection of the plumbing system done. This problem is common on older properties where the pipes or the hot water unit is more than ten years old. An older unit would not have the same capacity for heating water as a new one. So when more than one person tries to use hot water simultaneously in a particular area of the house, it results in low water pressure.

In some cases, this problem is caused due to very narrow pipes. These pipes are unable to keep up with the demand for hot water and that particular bathroom. So, when someone turns on a tap at the same time that you are showering, you will find that there is less water pressure. One of the ideal ways to fix this problem is to call in a licensed plumber.

We use the latest leak detection equipment in our work and will also use our skills and knowledge to determine whether the problem lies with the water heater; the pipes or the showerhead itself. Once we have found the root cause of the problem, we will provide a suitable fix within the shortest possible time. If your water heater is old, we will inform you about it and may recommend that you get it replaced if the repairs are not going to fix the problem.
