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.

Dishwasher installation

Top of the wish list for many kitchen renovations is a dishwasher. Depending on the layout of a kitchen, a dishwasher will normally be installed next to the sink.

Discoloured water may be brown, clear or have speckles of different colours when flowing. While this may be a temporary issue that resolves itself, it can also indicate a plumbing problem.

As free flowing water from the taps in our home is used for many purposes including drinking, laundry and bathing it is understandable to be concerned when this water is discoloured.

Discoloured water can be discoloured for various reasons. Read on to learn 3 plumbing issues that can cause the water from your taps to be discoloured including:

• An issue with your hot water system is causing your water to be discoloured
• Corroded water pipes are causing your water to be discoloured
• If your water is consistently discoloured, there could be an issue with the mains water supply

An issue with your hot water system is causing your water to be discoloured.

Your hot water system can be the culprit of discoloured water. To test if your hot water system could be the culprit, turn on a cold tap only and check the water colour then do the same with the hot tap. If only the water running from the hot tap is brown it is a good indicator of a hot water system issue. Call a hot water plumbing professional to do an inspection and advise if the issue can be repaired or your hot water system needs replacing.

Corroded water pipes are causing your water to be discoloured

If you notice the water is discoloured when you first turn on a tap but after a minute or two it become clear, this could mean the pipes have corroded. The rust that has built up is flushed out when turning on your taps causing water to brown. Have a plumber inspect your pipes and advise the best action.

If your water is consistently discoloured, there could be an issue with the mains water supply.

If you notice the water is consistently discoloured from all taps in your home it could indicate an issue with the mains water supply. Check with your neighbours if they too are experiencing the same and if it is a communal issue then report it to the water corporation to investigate.

When winter arrives and heavy rain starts to fall, you may think your homes indoor plumbing is safely hidden away behind the walls of your home. As the rain continues to fall your homes outdoor drainage system can struggle to cope, effectively building up with water and back washing into the household pipes.

Whilst usually a rare occurrence, it pays to have your drains, plumbing pipes and sewage/septics inspected and maintained by a professional to avoid messy, and costly, problems with your home’s plumbing due to the weather outside.

Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas Dunsborough/Busselton pride themselves on offering the highest level of service when it comes to their customers throughout the South West.

Read below to learn more about how your homes drainage can be effected during winter including:

• Overflow Relief Gully’s (ORG’s)
• In winter, underground pipes can experience increased pressure due to the weight of wet and heavy soil around them.
• Water is entering your pipes faster than it is being pushed back out.

Overflow Relief Gully’s (ORG’s)

The outdoor wells that pop up outside wet areas of your home are notorious for attracting sand, rock, leaf and children’s toy build-up that clogs the relief gully and leads to pipe blockage. These blockages can be huge and extend for a length of pipe or just the bit that you can see when you peer into the Overflow Relief Gully’s (ORG’s). These need to be clear to allow for water pressure to be released and excess water to drain away.

In winter, underground pipes can experience increased pressure due to the weight of wet and heavy soil around them

Not as easy to inspect as ORG’s or internal plumbing, underground pipes will experience a huge amount of increased pressure due to the weight of the heavy (now wet) soil around them. When the rain dries up, keep an eye out for signs of a broken or leaking pipe, as these are quite common after heavy rains not only leave the ground heavy, but can also shift pipes around when the water softens the soil.

Water is entering your pipes faster than it is being pushed back out

If your sinks, tubs, showers and toilets aren’t draining properly after, or during, a heavy storm, chances are there is a build-up of sediment, or water, in the pipe. Water can be entering your pipes through the drains outside and is the volume of water falling is exceeding that which is pushing out, you’ll end up with an overload.
