Common Plumbing Issues & How to Fix Them

Plumbing problems can be a real headache, especially when they happen unexpectedly. Here are some common issues homeowners face and what you can do about them:

  • Leaky Taps: Often caused by worn-out washers or seals. Replace these components to stop the drip.
  • Blocked Toilets: Use a plunger to unblock minor clogs. For persistent issues, our experts guarantee an immediate response within 30 minutes.
  • Faulty Fill Valves: A broken fill valve can prevent your toilet from flushing correctly. Replacing the valve usually fixes the issue.

Plumbing Maintenance Advice

  • Clean Drains: Avoid blockages by cleaning your drains with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar.
  • Seasonal Checks: Ensure your pipes are insulated during the winter to prevent freezing.
