Unblocking sinks, showers, and baths needs to first plan a systematic approach in order to identify and then remove the obstruction which is causing or contributing to the blockage. To start with we inspect the affected drainage pipework to establish the severity of the blockage in terms of its hardness in most cases. In some cases, blockages are caused by a build-up of hair which has fallen out or soap scum and sometimes grease debris. Using a professional level plunger or a suitable length drain snake, we would initially dislodge and then remove the blockage to restore water flow at full capacity. For the more stubborn clogs, we employ specialised tools like the mechanical auger or high pressure water jetting to clear the pipes.
A leaking tap, more often referred to as a dripping tap, occurs when water continuously escapes from a tap even when it is fully turned off at the lever or handle. This is often caused by a worn out or damaged washer, O-ring or valve seat inside the tap mechanism. Over time, wear and tear or sometimes mineral build-up can prevent the tap from forming a tight seal therefore allowing water to drip out. Whilst a leaking tap might seem like a more of a minor annoyance than a problem, it can progress and cause significant water wastage and in some cases this can mean increased utility bills. There is also the potential damage to fixtures or surrounding (in particular porous) surfaces if it is not fixed.
Fitting an outside tap to a house is a very useful item that provides easy access to water for those outdoor basic jobs like gardening, washing the dirty car or outdoor drive cleaning. The plumbers job is to start by identifying a location which suits the home owner, this is typically near an internal water supply which feeds the kitchen or utility room. Once the water supply is isolated, we would drill through the exterior house wall and install a hard wearing pipe which connects the internal water pipe to the newly fitted outdoor tap. A non return valve is fitted to prevent backflow where appropriate due to regulations or to maintain Finally, the tap is securely fixed to the wall, sealed to prevent leaks, and tested to confirm correct levels of functionality.
We actually operate with a extensive list of basic plumbing services which we encounter quite often as we visit different customers. We see simple problems with easy repairs to installations of appliances. The experience we have enables us to provide reliable help when it is needed! This could be when addressing a trivial dripping tap or making sure your pipes are in safe and robust condition.
As you can see from the above list, our overall basic goal is to provide plumbing expertise and support for basic problems as well as more difficult and lengthly jobs.
