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

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

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.

But many new homeowners find out too late that their new home has severe plumbing problems buried far beneath the walls, with old or inadequate
A big indicator that water leakage is awry is standing water, or pools of water in certain areas of your yard, that won’t dry up and are recurring. Excess water in your yard usually indicates a leak in the sewer line coming from your home and can contain waste that your children and pets can easily gain access too, not to mention being a breeding ground for pests, insects and germs. Swampy patches in your grass or garden beds, or areas where the grass or plants look particularly green are usually the areas to inspect first.
Check your water heater for year of manufacture and any signs of damage from the outside. Water heaters and their elements can be costly to repair or replace so frequent checks are essential. If you live in an area that experiences ‘hard water’, the elements and fixtures can corrode quickly so if your hot water is limited or the heater shows signs of damage or significant age, it’s best to call your plumber to assess before it ends up costly you significantly.
As any parent will tell you, antibacterial wipes (or baby/wet wipes as they are known in Australia) are a godsend for parents of babies and toddlers. These small sheets of moist fibres are not exclusive to parents of young children; teenagers use them frequently for various purposes and there are now sanitary wipes available for all ages as an alternative for dry toilet paper. Whilst some of these products are actually marketed as flushable, recent research has revealed that these wet wipes are causing major issues in our wastewater systems.
