The colder months can put strain on your plumbing in a way that the warmer months may not. Now winter is drawing closer, it is a suitable time to look at the ways you can reduce stress on your plumbing systems to make sure that everything is working – and will continue to work when you need it to.

• Attend to Leaks and Damages
• Regulate Temperatures of Indoor Areas
• Turn Off Outdoor Taps and Disconnect Hoses

Attend to Leaks and Damages

If you have problems with your plumbing before winter, you will want to get it fixed as soon as possible. Leaving leaks and damages to pipes and water systems can be disastrous in all climates, but winter is when you are using your hot water and are less likely to notice wet patches lying around. The best way to take care of this is to get a professional to come to your home or property and inspect your plumbing personally.

Regulate Temperatures of Indoor Areas

The cold weather can do several things to your plumbing. Insulating your exposed pipes in unheated areas can help to prevent issues, but most of all you want to make sure that nothing is getting too cold. This can be as easy as opening your kitchen cabinets so that the warmer air reaches it and making sure that your thermostat and heating works.

Turn Off Outdoor Taps and Disconnect Hoses

If it gets too cold, the water in your pipes can freeze.

This is an especially significant risk for outdoor areas so instead of leaving your hoses out and connected to taps, you should disconnect and drain them before storing them away for winter. If left unattended, the frozen water in the hose can back up into the pipes inside your property and cause considerable damage to them.

There are a range of things that can go wrong with the plumbing on your property.

Being able to identify these problems before they become a bigger issue is an important skill that can save you money, time and stress in the future.

• Dripping Taps
• Clogged Bath, Shower Drain and Toilet
• Low or No Water Pressure

Dripping Taps

A dripping tap is one of the most common plumbing issues that people will face with their plumbing. Other than causing an irritating noise, leaking taps will also drive up your water bill and cause unneeded expenses. This type of plumbing issue is often caused by a faulty washer, although a plumbing expert will be able to accurately pinpoint the exact problem.  

Clogged Bath, Shower Drain and Toilet

Blockages are often caused by waste, paper, hair and soap, and they will only get worse over time. Clogged drains and pipes will cause awful smells and leave you without a bathroom that is useable, so you want to get these solved as quickly as possible. If using a plunger is not solving the issue for you, it’s a good idea to call in a professional to get your plumbing sorted out.

Low or No Water Pressure

Expectations of a nice shower or a sink full of water can be ruined when you turn on a tap and only a drip comes out. Low water pressure is a less noticeable problem than a clogged bathroom or a dripping tap, but it can be a symptom of a bigger issue. If you are experiencing low or no water pressure, it could be a sign of a simple build-up of sediment or leaking, broken, worn or corroded pipes. Older homes and properties are more prone to low or no water pressure, due to old age and wear and tear of the plumbing.

A blocked or clogged drain can be a minor inconvenience or a big problem depending on the size and issue specific to you, but either way you will want to get it solved as soon as possible.

• Boiling Water for Minor Drain Blockages
• Plunging Your Drains
• Contact a Professional Plumber

Boiling Water for Minor Drain Blockages

For minor clogs in your drains, you could try using boiling water to clear the blockage. Boil the water in your kettle or on the stove or microwave, and then pour it into the blocked drain to dislodge whatever is causing your issue. This is especially good for things like grease, but you should be careful to avoid doing this when your pipes are made of PVC – as this can be warped by the heat or even melted. You should also use caution when using hot water to not spill it on yourself.

Plunging Your Drains

A plunger is the most common type of instrument used to unblock your drains and pipes. You can buy one easily at a store and it will help you dislodge solid clogs that cannot be dissolved by the boiling water. Plungers are cheap to obtain and can be used multiple times, so it is a great investment for your home and plumbing.

Contact a Professional Plumber

If you cannot identify or remove the blockage yourself, it is a good time to get in touch with your local plumbing expert to see how they can help you. A professional plumber will have a range of equipment to help identify and remove your blockages safely and without damaging your pipes, so if it is not an easy fix, you should contact a plumbing professional.

• Shut Off Water Mains
• Switch Off Your Water Heater
• Look For Leaking Pipes

Shut Off Water Mains

Shutting off all your water at the mains can be beneficial in a plumbing emergency. If you have a cracked or damaged pipe in your plumbing, this can help the holes from getting bigger.

Switch Off Your Water Heater

If the plumbing emergency is related to your home’s water heater, switching off your hot water system can prevent further damages. Be sure to take care and only do so if it is safe. If you have already turned off your water mains, you should take this step to avoid causing issues with your water heater’s function.

Look For Leaking Pipes

If you can locate the leaking pipe first, you can save yourself and your plumber some time. The most likely locations for leakages in a home are in the laundry, bathroom or kitchen. Keep in mind that finding a leaking pipe may be impossible if the leak is underground, and in that case you will need to let your local plumbing expert handle it when they arrive.

When you have issues with older plumbing systems, it can cause a range of problems. Having plumbing systems that work in both your home and your business is important and unless your building is newly constructed, there is a chance that the plumbing has gotten old and worn-out.

Getting an experienced plumber to inspect your plumbing regularly is a great idea, however there are some warning signs that you need to upgrade or replace your system that you may be able to see yourself.

• Why Do My Taps Have No Water Pressure?
• Why is My Water Discoloured?
• Why Are My Drains Clogged / Slow?

Why Do My Taps Have No Water Pressure?

You turn on a tap; a weak little trickle comes out instead of the shower of water you are used to.

Low or no water pressure can suggest that there is an issue with your plumbing, and it is one you can experience without an expert’s opinion. If you are having issues with water pressure, this can be an issue with your taps or shower head, water heater or leaky or clogged pipes.

Why is My Water Discoloured?

Corrosion in your water pipes can cause your water to be discoloured. If you pour yourself a glass of water from the tap or try to clean your dishes and end up with murky brown water, this could be a sign that your water pipes are corroded. The brown colour comes from rust, and if it gets worse it can clog or even destroy your pipes altogether. If you are having brown water come from your taps, it may be time to call in a plumbing expert to check it out.

Why Are My Drains Clogged / Slow?

Clogged and slow drains are caused by blockages or damage to your water pipes. This can cause a lack of water, leaks, and other issues that will only get worse over time. Because some of your water pipes are underground, it can be harder to see what the root of the problem is. These kinds of issues can turn into a costly disaster if they are not fixed soon.

A plumber is an experienced professional that will help you out with problems involving your plumbing fixtures and fittings, water systems, sewage, drains and drainage, and your gas. They are a great asset to any home or property owner, and due to the experience required, a plumbing expert is the only person you should trust with your plumbing issues. The amount you will spend on a plumber cost generally depends on a few different factors, such as:

• Paying for an Experienced Plumbing Expert
• Cost of Plumbing Materials
• Removing and Disposing of Old Parts

Paying for an Experienced Plumbing Expert

An experienced plumber will have undergone significant training to achieve their position. This includes an apprenticeship and training with an experienced plumber, which helps them grow their skills and give on the job training. When you pay for a plumber, you are not only purchasing their work but their experience, skills, and the years they have spent learning their craft.

Cost of Plumbing Materials

A professional plumber may charge for materials in their final cost. A new toilet, for example, may factor into the final price you pay your plumber for installing it. Even so, a plumber may be able to produce materials at a rate that would be much cheaper than you pay for it separately.

Removing and Disposing of Old Parts

If you call a plumber because of a broken toilet that needs replacing, they will take care of the old toilet for you. This may factor into the cost of hiring them, as moving and disposing of a large object like a toilet takes some time and effort. It is well worth the cost for peace of mind, but something to think about when hiring a plumbing expert for your needs.
