Plumbers are regularly called out to residential and commercial properties to service, fix and install a number of components like gas fittings, hot water systems, water and sewerage. However, plumbers are often called out for very similar jobs because there are plenty of common plumbing issues.
Leaking Taps
Leaking taps is one of the most common issues plumbers get called out to fix. They can be extremely annoying for owners since leaky taps can result in higher water usage bills. There are three washers that could be the cause of the problem. They are the o-ring, the body washer or the jumper valve. Damage can be done to taps if they are over tightened so it is best to only tighten the tap until the water flow ceases because this will prevent damage.
Toilet Problems
The toilet is a very important plumbing fixture of any house or business and it is also a common problem plumbers are called out to replace, fix or repair. Problems that can arise with toilets include toilet blockages and leaks, flushing problems and a constantly running toilet. Toilet problems are often due to aging or overuse but they can be repaired by resealing or replacing individual components.
Hot Water Heater Repairs
Replacing a hot water heater or trying to repair one is definitely not a DIY project and a plumber should be called out to complete. The warnings signs that may indicate whether you need a new hot water heater include a lower than expected temperature, rust coloured water or moisture around the base. A water heater’s lifespan varies but they typically last 5-15 years.
