Plumbing and Gas Problem
Yes- wasted energy in electricity or gas. If leaking from the case of the unit itself it generally means the cylinder inside has ruptured (new unit required.). If leaking out of a valve this means that the valve may need replacing.
Yes it’s only mattter of time before it blocks completely. If the pipes are old galvanised pipes it is generally more economical to replace the pipe with a pvc waste pipe.
Yes. It is generally able to be rectified.
By all means, but the cause of a dripping tap is 90% of the time due to the seat needing to be re-machined, which requires a tool that most people do not have. Very rarely is it just the tap washer that needs replacing.
*Please be aware that if your house / unit floods as a result of repairs to plumbing carried out by an unlicensed person, the insurance company may decline insurance claim*
Sometimes the ball float may just need adjusting. Every toilet cistern has an inlet valve and a outlet valve. Both have washers and rubbers in them that do need replacing. I generally show regular customers how to replace them and leave a few washers for them to use if they show some interest in doing the job themselves.
Hints
If on electricity contact your supplier and ask for advice on the best power tariff.
Not really. Prevention is better then cure- grease should not be put down the pipe. Products like Drano are effective in de-greasing but should be used with EXTREME CAUTION. I’ve known people to be blinded by the highly-reactive Sodium hydroxide component of de-greasers.
You can:
- Install a garden tap with little risk.
- Do your stormwater drainage.
- Install timed watering systems.
Drains
Umbrella trees, leopard trees, chinese elms & camphor laurels are generally the worst. Any trees that have the potential to grow higher than 6 m.
Hire companies have drainage machines for hire, however if you are using the “rigid” brand of drainage machine, be warned thay are extremely powerful and for the inexperienced weekend warrior, they can just about pull your hand off if your hand gets caught in the cable when it twists up from hitting a snag down the pipe (eg tree roots).
Don’t touch sewers.
Can only be handled by a licensed plumber.
Any mistake could be hazardous!
