What to do if I have a blocked drain?

Blocked drains driving you mad?
A damaged or collapsed drain won’t work properly; it runs the risk of leakage water or sewage into your home. Did you know that there could be a simple solution to your problems? There are many reasons behind the damage and the blockage – one that our experts can deal with. Here at Mainline Plumbing & Cheap Hot Water & Gas, whether it is blocked toilets or drains, our plumbers can fix it!

Mainline Plumbing in action

We all know that it doesn’t take much to end up with a blocked drain, especially in the bathroom. With a combo of hair and toothpaste – it’s never going to be a happy ending. However, it always seems to happen when you’re planning that big party or having visitors staying over.

Is your drain showing any of these signs?

Water is draining very slowly
The water is beginning to back up out of the sink drain
The water in the toilet bubbles when you run the tap
Gurgling noises are coming from the drains
There’s a smell of decaying food wafting from the kitchen sink
There are pools of water forming near a sink or the bath

At the first signs of a slowing drain, be sure to call Mainline Plumbing & Cheap Hot Water & Gas. Don’t wait until it’s a major block! We’ll be there in no time.

Sometimes you can clear the drain yourself. Turn the tap on and partially fill the sink with water. Using a plunger, work it up and down several times, remove and repeat a few more times. If it’s a double sink that you’re working on – one of the drains will need to be plugged off.

All too hard? Call our plumbing professionals at Mainline Plumbing & Cheap Hot Water & Gas. Day or night – we will be waiting for your call.

Things to avoid putting down your sink

Grease! It only hardens up and then sticks inside your drain. Empty your leftover grease and fat into a container and dispose of, ensuring none of it goes down your sink.
Coffee is another one. The coffee grounds can stick together and become backed up in your drain and can cause serious issues.
Egg shells. They create a granular waste that connects to other forms of waste, making it difficult for the piping in the drain.
Anything absorbent. Such items as segments of paper towels to cotton balls will absorb everything and will only add weight to the system.

Fortunately, many of these items can be placed into your household compost and can easily end up in your garden.

Another tip too! In future, stay away from chemical drain cleaners. They might seem like a quick fix, but they are very harsh and have been known to cause corrosion to your pipes.

Toilet leaks are energy and money leaks!

It is important that we use our water wisely and not waste it. It is a limited resource and as the population rises the demand for resources will increase. With climate change concerns, pervasive droughts, and high energy prices, nearly everyone is looking for ways to conserve resources and cut costs.

Toilet leaks

So, what can we do? Listed are some of the many ways to conserve water at home:

Use water tanks to catch rainfall. Currently, most of the rain just gets washed down the drain.
Make sure you’ve got a full load of laundry before you hit the ‘start’ button on the washing machine. Likewise, the dishwasher.
Fix any dripping taps or leaky toilets.
Buy efficient appliances. New appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers have water rating labels on them that tell you how much water they use.
Insulate hot water pipes. This avoids wasting water while waiting for hot water to flow through and saves energy.
Older style toilets use around 18 litres of water per flush! The latest ultra-low-flush toilets can use as little as 4.5 litres for a full flush and 3 litres for a half flush.
Keep a container of water in the fridge so that you won’t need to run the water down the sink until it’s cool enough to drink.
Washing fruit and vegetables in a half-filled sink instead of under running water is a great way to cut back on water wastage.
Encourage your friends and neighbours to be part of a water-conscious community. Promote water conservation in community newsletters, on bulletin boards, and by example. Encourage your friends, neighbours and co-workers to “do their part.”

The toilet is one of the most water-intensive fixtures in the house. If there is a toilet leak, you might be wasting about 750 litres of water every day. Imagine flushing your toilet more than 50 times for no reason at all!

Common toilet problems

Water Trickling into the Bowl, or “Phantom Flushes”
Water Trickling into the Tank
The Bowl Empties Slowly
The Dreaded Clog
Leaky Seals

Checking for toilet leaks can be difficult if you don’t know how to. You could try this very simple method to check for leakages:

Remove the toilet tank lid.
Drop one dye tablet or 10 drops of food colouring into the tank. (Dye tablets are often available for free through local water providers).
Put the lid back on. Do not flush.
Wait at least 10-15 minutes and then look in the bowl. If you see coloured water, you have a leak. If not, you don’t.

If you find any leaks or are having some doubts, you can contact the professionals. Mainline Plumbing & Cheap Hot Water & Gasthey are the plumbing and hot water specialists that can help you with advice and repair your toilet leaks.

Is your toilet leaking?
If so, that’s money just running down the drain!

Save money by using your pool cover.

Saving money can be as easy as covering your pool all year round.

Did you know you could be losing a lot of water from your pool through evaporation?

Are you constantly having to top up your pool?

In summer evaporation is by far the main contributor to water loss in your pool which will drive your water bill up. A pool can lose water every day and with the warm temperatures that amount is increased.

Cover your pool and save

Outdoor and indoor pool’s water evaporation can be lessened by using a pool cover when it is not in use. Using your pool cover even in summer is the most efficient and economical way to reduce water loss.

Pool covers are very easy to use.

Just remove the cover before swimming and replace it when you are done.

Remember NEVER swim in your pool with the cover still on.

Pool covers

Besides offering energy savings, pool covers also do the following:

Conserve water by reducing the amount of make-up water needed by 30%–50%
Reduce the pool’s chemical consumption by 35%–60%
Reduce cleaning time by keeping dirt and other debris out of the pool.
Keep your pool warmer when the temperature drops off.

Do you have a pool cover?

You will be amazed by how much water evaporates over the summer months.

Save water and the environment.

What to do with a noisy tap?

Do you have a noisy tap, that is driving everyone crazy?

Especially in the middle of the night when someone gets up to go to the toilet and tries to wash their hands quietly and wakes the whole household up with dreadful banging, rattling and vibrating noises. Is it just a one off noise or is it persisting? Luckily, noisy taps are usually pretty easy to fix – so, give Mainline Plumbing & Cheap Hot Water & Gas a call.

Tap Problems Call Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water & Gas

Possible causes for a noisy tap

Sometimes this is also referred to as water hammer. It is when a shock wave of high water pressure in the pipes is caused by the sudden closing of a valve. Want to know what could be causing your tap to scream and make those unbearable noises? It could be any of the following reasons:

Faults in your plumbing design
Mineral deposits on the aerator
Faulty tap washers
Wrong size of tape or pipe
A buildup of scale
Solenoid valves on appliances
High water pressure

Why is my tap constantly dripping?

Firstly, check your water meter when no water is being used to see if it is still ticking over. If so, the leak will be either through your pipes or from your tap washers. You will be pleased to know that this is a quick fix. However, if there is a leaking pipe – you may need to search for damp patches in either your garden or your lawn. These are sometimes a little trickier to locate.

Do you have any idea how much money your dripping tap is costing you? You would be surprised to know that just one leaky tap is costing you thousands of litres of water – just going straight down the drain. Don’t hesitate – call Mainline Plumbing right away.
