Clogged drains are often caused by hair, soap scum, or food particles that build up over time. To prevent clogs, use drain screens and avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain. Also look out for tree roots that have entered or moved the pipes outside.
Possible reasons your hot water system isn’t working:
- Power outage: Check the Residual Current Device (RCD) circuit breakers in your electricity meterbox.
- Thermostat settings: Ensure the thermostat is set to a temperature higher than the current water temperature.
- Insufficient gas: If using gas, check to see if the pilot light is on. There could also be a gas supply and meter issue.
- Sediment buildup: If using a tank-type system, sediment buildup can reduce efficiency.
- Faulty components: Issues with the heating element, thermostat, or other parts can prevent hot water. Overtime, these parts wear out with use.
If you’ve checked these and still have problems, it’s time to call a professional plumber.
Fixing a leaky tap can be a bit of a pain, but it’s usually a DIY job that’s not too hard.
Here’s a basic rundown:
- Turn off the water: The main meter is usually found at the front of the property. Turn this off first. Then find the shut-off valves under the sink.
- Release pressure: Open the tap to let any residual water out.
- Remove the handle: Use a screwdriver or wrench to loosen the handle.
- Reface the tap seats: Using a resurfacing tool, gently obtain a smooth seat on the tap seat to ensure no leakage.
- Replace the washer: The washer is usually a small rubber or plastic disc. You can find replacements at Bunnings.
- Reassemble: Put everything back together, tightening the parts, but not too much.
- Test: Turn the water back on and check for leaks.
If you’re not confident, or the leak is serious, it’s best to call a plumber.
An unusually expensive water bill might be a sign of a leaky pipe inside or outside your house, or a tap or appliance that is running continuously because of a fault. If you suspect a leak, call a plumber immediately.
Regular plumbing inspections can help prevent costly repairs and ensure your home’s plumbing system is functioning properly. It’s recommended to have your plumbing inspected at least once a year.
