There are some plumbing projects that are simple enough for you to do yourself – pouring an unclogging product down a drain, tightening a leaky joint or stopping a running toilet for example.
But when the unclogging solution doesn’t work, your pipes continue to leak or your toilet begins to overflow, then it’s time to call a plumber.
The signs
Below are some of the signs you might need to call a Loughborough plumber:
- Frozen Pipes – During really cold weather your pipes can freeze which then leads to cracking and bursting.
- Blocked Toilet – This could be something as simple as an object lodged in the u-bend or could be a sign of a damaged sewage pipe.
- Blocked Bath – Usually due to large amounts of hair clogging the drain.
- Dripping Tap – This is most likely to be a problem with the seal that separates the water flow and your tap and can seem a simple job but is often difficult to fix.
- Low Water Pressure – Sometimes due to poor water supply or a poor supply-line design but usually is the result of mineral deposits, rust or other obstructions in the pipes.
- Leaking Pipes – This could be a sign of eroding or degrading pipes or a problem with the water seal. Both of which requires extensive knowledge and training to fix.
- Backed-Up Pipes – If you’re experiencing clogs in every sink, toilet, shower and bath in your house, this could be due to problems with the main plumbing line/pipe.
- Broken Sewer Pipe – A problem identified by a gurgling sound in the toilet, no water in the toilet bowl, a backed-up toilet or bath or an unpleasant odour.
- Inconsistent Water Flow – This could indicate a mineral build-up or rust within the fixture or pipes. But if you see the problem in multiple faucets and water fixtures, there could be a more general issue.
- Boiler Problems – If your water isn’t heating correctly then this is usually a sign that your boiler isn’t working properly and needs the attention of a plumber.
