Plumbing Problems Plugged Promptly with Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas

Water pipe repairPlumbing problems can cause a lot of stress in your household, especially if you leave them for too long before calling in the professionals. As most homeowners aren’t qualified plumbers with knowledge on how to repair major plumbing problems, the best course of action is always to contact a skilled tradesman to rectify the problem before it becomes costly, some plumbing problems can be nipped in the bud whilst you wait for the plumbers to arrive.

Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas have provided the South West with reliable, friendly and highly skilled service for almost 40 years, assisting with all types of plumbing, gas and hot water problems, maintenance and repair. Whether it be a leaking toilet, a major burst pipe or a full replacement of your plumbing system, you can be assured that Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas carry the skills and experience to ensure the job is done professionally and on budget every time.

Some jobs that can be managed by the home owner whilst you wait for the experts include:

  • Blocked Toilets
  • Leaking and/or Not Flushing Toilets
  • Blocked Drains

Blocked Toilets

Toilet ProblemsHas your toilet started to fill up too high when you flush and not draining quickly? Statistics show that blocked toilets are the top residential plumbing problem and can be quickly eased whilst waiting for the professionals.

You can temporarily fix the blockage by gloving up and removing the excess water form the toilet with a cup and bucket. Place a rubber plunger in the bottom of the toilet bowl and plunge gently at first to avoid being splashed with water. Plunge more forcefully, once the hole is sealed and hopefully, the plunging forces the water down the pipe and dislodges the blockage.

Keep in mind that this is only a temporary fix for unblocking your toilet. Most often, the problem will reoccur so further investigation down the pipes is required by an expert such as Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas.

Leaking and/or Not Flushing Toilets

Apart from blockages, there are other toilet issues that you may experience, such as it not flushing properly or leaking from the base of the toilet itself. If there’s a pool of water near your toilet, the mechanisms for the inflow and outflow may have started to deteriorate and they often need replacing. This is not a job that you should try out your DIY skills on.

If your toilet is not flushing, it could be that the cistern hasn’t filled before flushing, the buttons are out of kilter or possibly the cistern itself is faulty. You can check this yourself by opening the cistern lid to see if the mechanism is working correctly. If it appears to be slow to fill, check that there isn’t anything obstructing the valve that triggers the tank to fill and remove it cautiously. Be sure to replace the lid carefully, so that that buttons are lined up correctly over the mechanism. However, don’t keep tampering with it if the problem continues, as it more than likely will become a bigger problem.

Blocked Drains

Blocked drainageWhilst most homeowners turn to a caustic agent to pour down the drain to loosen any blockages, this will usually result in more build up further down the line or worse, the blockage backwashing back up into the sink, shower, toilet or bath. The accumulation of all that hair, oil, grease, dirt and foreign objects will eventually need to be professionally removed, but you can opt for some home remedies to ease the pressure on the pipes before the plumbers arrive. Best advice – lay off the water running until Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas can assist.

Winter Storms and Your Household Plumbing

Drops of rainThe storm season is upon us and it’s not only the residents of the South West that can get a little overwhelmed with the excessive water and deluge that big thunderstorms can bring. You may think your indoor plumbing is safely hidden away behind the walls of your home when heavy rains hit, but the outdoor drainage system can cop a beating; effectively building up with water and back washing into the household pipes.

Whilst usually a rare occurrence, it pays to have your drains, plumbing pipes and sewage/septics inspected and maintained by a professional to avoid messy, and costly, problems inside due to the weather outside.

Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas always go the extra mile when it comes to their customers throughout the South West.  As the premier local choice for all things plumbing, gas and hot water, their qualified tradesmen are available 24/7, with no emergency call out fees, and their years of experience means you get an expert who has seen it all, everytime.

It’s important to check your drainage system during winter storms, including:

  • ORG’s (Overflow Relief Gully’s)
  • Underground Pipes
  • Internal Backwash

ORGS’s

ORG-photoThe outdoor wells that pop up outside wet areas of your home are notorious for attracting sand, rock, leaf and children’s toy build-up that clogs the relief gully and leads to pipe blockage. These blockages can be huge and extend for a length of pipe or just the bit that you can see when you peer into the ORG. These need to be clear to allow for water pressure to be released and excess water to drain away.

Underground Pipes

Not as easy to inspect as ORG’s or internal plumbing, underground pipes will experience a huge amount of increased pressure due to the weight of the heavy (now wet) soil around them. When the rain dries up, keep an eye out for signs of a broken or leaking pipe, as these are quite common after heavy rains not only leave the ground heavy, but can also shift pipes around when the water softens the soil.

Internal Backwash

If your sinks, tubs, showers and toilets aren’t draining properly after, or during, a heavy storm, chances are there is a build-up of sediment, or water, in the pipe. Water can be entering your pipes through the drains outside and is the volume of water falling is exceeding that which is pushing out, you’ll end up with an overload.

Noisy Tap? Call Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas

Tap Problems Call Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water & GasThere is not much more annoying in a residential household than a noisy, dripping tap. The sound of dripping tends to reverberate throughout the house at night when all is quiet, not to mention the waste of water over time, and noisy pipes and plumbing interrupt everyone.  You may think that dripping tap is just a small, annoying issue that can wait to be fixed or that the noisy pipes are just a quirky feature of your home, however these problems can often cause bigger, more costly issues if left unattended.

  • Noisy Taps
  • Dripping Taps
  • Home Plumbing Maintenance and Inspection

Noisy Taps

Sometimes referred to as water hammer, the loud rattling and banging in your water pipes is the result of a shock wave of high water pressure in the pipes is caused by the sudden closing of a valve. It can also occur due to:

  • Plumbing design faults
  • Mineral deposits on the aerator
  • Sizing differences in pipes or taps
  • Scale Buildup
  • Faulty appliance solenoid valves

Dripping TapDripping Taps

An annoying but usually easy fix – unless the problem is occurring within your walls. Turn off all water sources and go outside and check your meter. If it’s spinning fast, you’ve more than likely got a leak in a pipe, so check immediately for damp patches on your walls or in the garden and call Mainline Plumbing professionals.

Slowly ticking over despite no water being run in the house is probably a faulty washer. Although easy to fix yourself, this can cost a lot of money literally dripping down the drain in wasted water so it’s best to get onto it straight away, or call an expert to assist you.

Leaking Vanity? Call Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas Today!

Wasted water

Bathrooms are wet places and water around your bathroom sink, or vanity, is not uncommon in most Australian homes. A small leak around the taps in your vanity sink may seem like nothing – in fact you may mistake it for the kids splashing water around or a result of some over enthusiastic teeth brushing, but it can cause major damage when not repaired before it becomes a big problem.

Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas specialise in repairing small problems before they become big, costly issues in homes throughout the South West. Whether it be a pipe dripping into the vanity cupboard or faulty taps above, the team at Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas can repair efficiently and affordably.

Vanity leaks are not always visible and can cause a lot of damage to:

  • Inside the Cupboards
  • On the Vanity Surface
  • To Your Water Bill

In the Cupboards

Check under the sink. A leak in the taps or in the pipes below will result in the vanity being wet – all the time. This will inevitably lead to rot in the cupboard material (usually wood, chip board or some form of melamine with plastic coating) and the need to replace the entire unit. Replacing a vanity is not a simple job and needs to be done by a professional, so save yourself labour, materials and the cost of a brand-new vanity and have the leaking pipes inspected and repaired by a professional.

On the Vanity Surface

Leaking pipe with towel

Check any bathroom and you’ll find some form of water pooling around the vanity sink. This is normal if you’ve just washed your hands or the kids have a tendency to play in the water more than wash with it, but if water is slowly dribbling around the base of the taps, its highly likely it will leak behind the sink itself and start to cause mould and rot.

 

To Your Water Bill

Whether it’s leaking from the pipes below, the taps above or dripping directly from the spout itself, that’s water being wasted and costing you money. Small leaks add up to big dollars on the water bill, increasing your consumption 24 hours a day.

Same Day Hot Water Unit Service with Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas

Hot Water by Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas BunburyHave you noticed that with the change in weather your hot water unit isn’t performing as well as it used to? Is your hot water only running lukewarm or does it take considerable time for the water to heat to a desirable temperature? It is likely that your hot water unit is faulty or, worst case scenario, on it’s last legs. Regular maintenance can ensure that hot water units are running efficiently, however it’s not a common priority for most home owners.

Hot water units are like any household appliance and will start to show signs of wear and tear after time. If your hot water is not running as it should, it may be a very small repair that is required to bring it back to life, or it could be something more serious. Don’t wait for your shower to run cold, Mainline Plumbing & Cheap Hot Water & Gas can assist with all areas of hot water unit maintenance and repair and offer a same day service on all hot water unit issues.
There are several reasons your hot water unit might be running less efficiently that might not involve complete replacement, including:

  • Age
  • Broken thermostat
  • Sediment Build up

Age

Hot water units age like any other household appliance and become less efficient over time. Generally, a hot water unit has a lifespan of approximately 10 years (dependant on model, make and level of household usage). If you are aware that your hot water unit is older than this, it is important to have it regularly serviced. A quick inspection may find a small fault that can be rectified and add a few more years to your older unit’s lifespan.

Broken Thermostat

Hot water installerThe thermostat is the component that regulates gas intake from an attached fuel supply and, if faulty or broken, will not allow the unit to receive the signal to heat your water. This is a simple problem to fix but must be done only by a professional who can asses the unit and decide if an alternate thermostat can be fitted to improve efficiency.

Sediment Build Up

Over time, water contaminants can build up the bottom of your hot water unit, preventing it from producing enough hot water and clogging up the pipes. It can also cause great damage to the heating element. Bunbury water often has high levels of calcium and other minerals, so it pays to get a local expert to inspect your hot unit. Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas know just how much sediment is too much for our local conditions.

Is Your Hot Water System Running Properly?

Hot water is more of a necessity than a luxury these days. Contact Mainline Plumbing & Cheap Hot Water & Gas today on 9791 1608 and ensure that your plumbing and hot water needs are being taken care of by the professionals with same day service.

Blocked Drains Down South? – Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas Can Help

Blocked drainageBlocked drains and plumbing pipes are a common occurrence in Australian households and can become a big problem very quickly. Not only to blockages damage pipes and cause bacteria to grow within them, they can be very costly to repair if the blockage causes a leak, requiring pipes to be replaced.

Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas have your solution to blocked drains from Bunbury to Dunsborough and surrounds. No matter whether it is your kitchen sink, toilet or outside drain blockage, Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas can professionally remove the blockage and get your plumbing running smoothly again.

Don’t put your family, your plumbing or your finances at risk. Blocked drains can cause issues such as:

  • Causing Illness and Infection
  • Money and Water Wastage
  • Damaging house foundations and plumbing pipes

Causing Illness and Infection

When a pipe is blocked, dirty water pools and bacteria forms, all laying dormant and leeching germs into the sinks and tubs you wash your bodies, dishes and clothes in. Skin conditions and asthma can be irritated when exposed to wastewater in blocked drains, not to mention the pungent odour of rotting food particles and mould. And nobody wants to wash their clothes or bathe in water that has been filtered through a mound of grease, hair and mouldy debris.

Money and Water Wastage

Wasted waterPutting up with a blocked pipe not only means your water runs less efficiently, it can result in water being wasted and an increase in water consumption bills. Blockages typically lead to build up of pressure and plumbing leaks, which, in turn, result in water being lost and damaging walls, outdoor structures and gardens.

Damaging House Foundations and Plumbing Pipes

When pipes in the foundations of your home are blocked, the integrity of the building material is compromised and costly damage can occur very quickly. Flooding is a very common occurrence when pipes are blocked due to the overflow of drains, which can not only damage floor surfaces, but internal cupboards as well.
