Plumbing emergencies can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare!
Now, you may think that DIY repairs are the way to go, but you can end up causing more damage by employing the wrong products, tools and techniques. That’s why you should know about the best emergency plumbers in Adelaide
and how to contact them.
With Same Day Trades, you can hire qualified and experienced professionals to help you bail out of trouble anytime, anywhere.
No matter which part of Adelaide you reside in, plumbing emergencies can disrupt your daily life. But if you’re yet to face one, then here are some situations that you should stay prepared for.
A leaking basin is one such issue that can easily take the prize for being the most annoying plumbing problem. After all, no one wants to walk into the bathroom or kitchen only to find that the water from the faucet is forming a pool near their feet. And if there’s an electric outlet nearby, then it can put the safety of your house and family members at major risk.
Besides, there’s no one definite reason behind a leaky basin- anything from a malfunctioning tap to a burst pipe and faulty water supply lines. The problem can be worse if you need to fix or replace the pipes that are concealed in a cabinet or run behind the wall.
Grease, oil, hair follicles and other waste materials, like plastic, paper or food particles often enter the drains to clog them over time. Likewise, stormwater drains can get blocked due to twigs, leaves and other foreign objects that blow inside them with wind or surface rainwater runoff.
Other than that, corrosion or rust may settle on the interior or exterior surface of the pipes, which almost invariably requires replacing them with new ones.
Blocked pipes, whether inside the house or outside, can become a major nuisance if not fixed in time. They can restrict the water flow to put excessive pressure on the joints, causing internal damages or even burst pipes. Apart from that, the organic debris can rot inside the pipe to give off a foul smell, making the ambience extremely unhealthy.
If you live in an area that receives hard water or the water pressure in your home fluctuates often, then the pipes may need frequent repair or replacement, which can be difficult to do the DIY way.
There’s no denying that a cistern is an integral part of your bathroom, as it helps keep the toilet functional. However, regular use and the resultant wear and tear can inflict damages, making it leak water over the bathroom floor. This accumulated water can make the surface slippery as well as seep through the floor and walls, causing damages worth thousands of dollars to the foundation of the building.
You may think that the soap and shampoo you use daily will ultimately make their way down the shower drain, but that may not be the case every time. The residue from these products may sometimes clog the shower or bathtub drain, requiring you to manually remove them (and grossing you out in the process).
Moreover, hair follicles and fabric shedding from your towels or bathrobes can contribute to a clogged shower or bathtub drain.
For the unversed, a breacher pipe sits behind the wall to connect the faucet or showerhead to its water outlet. The constant flow of hot and cold water inside it causes the pipe to expand and contract, causing degeneration and leaks over time.
However, the location of this pipe makes it tricky to access, making DIY repairs and replacements almost impossible. The problem can be made worse if the leak isn’t detected from the get-go, as the walls and flooring can get damaged from constant exposure to moisture.
Burst flexi hoses are one of the leading causes of plumbing-related damages, and let us tell you why. In the absence of water flow during the night, the flexi hose pressurises as the accumulated water tries to escape the pipe.
This constant exposure to pressure and a sudden flow of water in the morning can cause the hose material to develop weak points, which eventually causes it to burst open and flood the entire area. Corroded flexi hoses or those that have neared the end of their warranty period can also cause the same problem.
Several reasons can damage your outdoor pipes, such as a faulty sewer line, incorrect irrigation practises or extreme temperatures. Besides, accidental poking while cleaning the yard or running over them with vehicles may cause dripping or full-blown leaks.
Hot water systems become an indispensable part of our lives in the colder months. However, many people tend to overlook their maintenance needs, making them susceptible to malfunctioning. Another thing to keep in mind is that not every hot water system runs on the same power source and may have different maintenance requirements, which are best fulfilled by professionals.
Moreover, you’d want to hire our qualified professionals if you’re installing a new system or replacing an old one.
There are various ways to detect a plumbing emergency, which include:
If you have noticed water dripping from the faucet even after turning it off properly, then it may indicate a problem with the seal, generally caused by external damages or corroded parts. In such cases, we’d recommend turning off its water supply and contacting us at the earliest.
A pool of dirty water in the sink, on the kitchen floor or in the shower area may be caused due to a blocked drain or pipe. And although you may be tempted to use DIY fixes like using chemical drain cleaners and plungers, they can inflict more damage if not executed the right way.
Similarly, unexpected pools of water in the lawn or backyard can result from leaky outdoor pipes or stormwater drains.
If the cistern doesn’t supply less water to the toilet bowl after flushing or the water doesn’t stop flowing, then you may need us for some repair or replacement.
A burst or leak in pipes concealed by cabinets, walls or flooring can form damp spots on the outer surfaces. These spots may, in turn, harbour mould formation, which can cause further damages to the building material.
While gurgling noises originating from drains and pipes can result from blockages, muffled sounds of water flowing from the ground or wall can help you detect a leak early on.
If the water bills are making you break the bank without any apparent increase in water consumption, then we’d strongly recommend getting your plumbing system checked by our professionals.
Furthermore, you can employ a quick DIY check to confirm the presence of a leak. Turn off the main water supply and observe the readings of your water meter. If it’s still running, then there’s an undetected leak in your pipes.
An inadequate supply of hot water from your hot water system or ineffective cleaning in the dishwasher can indicate a problem in the pipes or the appliances themselves. But if you’re not sure about the exact cause, then immediately get in touch with our professionals. They may then suggest repairing the affected parts or replacing the entire unit as required.
