Emergency plumbing and solutions for Redditch Based Home Owners

The idea of a plumbing problem in your home is enough to make anyone cringe. And while some problems may seem small at first, small headaches can quickly become major headaches if not attended to quickly enough.

Here are just a few of the more common plumbing problems our Redditch, UK customers run up against, and what you can do to help prevent them.

Problem: Frozen pipes.

Prevention: The first step is to make sure that all pipes are well-insulated. Wrap exposed pipes (like those outdoors or in the basement or garage) with foam insulation to protect them from colder temperatures. Opening the cabinets below your kitchen or bathroom sink at night will also allow the warm air in your home to keep the water in your pipes flowing. Letting your faucet drip at night is a good way to keep ice from forming.

Problem: Leaky or burst pipes.

Prevention: Keeping your pipes from freezing is a great way to prevent burst pipes. But leaks can result from other causes such as internal corrosion and root penetration into your sewer line. Scheduling an annual plumbing inspection is a great way to have a professional keep an eye on things for you.

Problem: Blocked drains or toilets.

Prevention: Make sure nothing is disposed of in the sink or the toilet that shouldn’t be there in the first place. For toilets, don’t flush anything except waste and toilet tissue. Dispose of kitchen grease in the trash instead of the sink. Check bathroom sinks and tub drains periodically for build-up of hair and biofilm.

Problem: Gas leaks.

Prevention: If you have an older gas water heater, you need to be especially alert to possible gas leaks. One way is to hire a professional plumber to install a gas and water leak alarm to alert you at the first sign of trouble. If you do smell gas, evacuate your house as quickly as possible and call your plumber with your cell phone once you’re safely outdoors.

Even with your best preventive efforts, there’s no guarantee that plumbing problems won’t suddenly arise. And when they do, you’ll find Dennis Foley Plumbing up to even the most difficult challenge. In the meantime, call us to schedule a whole-house plumbing inspection just to be sure everything is working as it should be.
