Why Does My Drain Get Clogged?
Human hair (as well as animal fur, or other stringy stuff, such as dental floss) is often a common contributor to clogs, especially in shower, laundry, bathtub, and bathroom drains. It’s particularly bad because it can knot up, combine with other substances like soap and grease, and attach itself to parts of the drain. Many of the most stubborn clogs have hair involved, in my experience, especially bathtubs, showers and bathroom sinks.
How Can I Prevent Leaking Pipes?
Have your boiler serviced regularly
Boiler leaking problems are common, particularly in older models that have not been regularly serviced. Boiler dripping may not seem like a big emergency but it can end up costing you a significant amount in wasted water. Not to mention, on-going boiler leaking can compromise your machine’s internal components. If you leave it too long, repairs may not be an option and you’ll end up having to fork out for a new machine. The best way to prevent your boiler leaking is to have it regularly serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This will allow any underlying problems to be identified before they get serious (and more expensive!) Some home cover policies include an annual boiler service, so be sure to take advantage of it. If you don’t, you may find that it renders your policy or even your boiler warranty invalid.Check your water pressure
Another easy way to prevent leakage from your water pipes is to regularly check the water pressure. Obviously, you can’t have it too low, as you won’t be able to wash the dinner dishes or enjoy a hot shower but at the same time, if it’s too high it can put a strain on your water pipes. High water pressure can seriously reduce the life expectancy of all your plumbing components, including the valves and joints, where leakages are most likely. If you notice an overly powerful spurt of water when you run your cold tap, the pressure may be a little high. You can try turning the stop tap down a little to see if it makes a difference. In some cases, you may need a plumber to install a pressure-reducing valve in your home.Insulate your pipes
Here in the UK, it can get pretty chilly in the winter, with temperatures dropping below zero for weeks on end. It’s important to remember that when temperatures outside fall below zero, any water in your outside drain pipes will freeze. When water freezes it expands, which can put a strain on your plumbing system and cause it to crack. Drain pipe lagging is the best way to insulate your plumbing system and prevent leaks in the winter. You can attempt drain pipe lagging yourself, however, it can be a bit of a tricky process. It’s much more time-efficient to hire a contractor to do it for you. Drain pipe lagging will not only prevent plumbing leaks but also help you save on energy costs. It’s definitely a worthwhile preventative measure to invest in. Wondering about gas pipe insulation? It’s not a common practice as unlike with water pipes, freezing and expansion is unlikely.How Can I Tell If My Toilet Needs to Be Replaced?
Nobody likes to deal with a clogged toilet. While they’re not uncommon, random or recurring clogs can indicate an issue. If you have an old, lowflush toilet, you may experience stoppages far too often. If you experience clogs more than once a week, or the clogs seem random and odd, you should probably replace your toilet.
If you don’t want to lose the water-saving benefits of a low-flush toilet, simply replace your current toilet with a more efficient and effective commode. Modern technologies have come a long way, and low-flush toilets are much better than they used to be.
My Drains Are Gurgling and Not Draining. What Would Cause This?
The P-Trap’s function is to protect your house from odours by creating a water seal that prevents sewer gas from coming up and out of your drains. Take a look under any sink in your house and you will see the trap – it is simply a piece of curved pipe that holds a small amount of water – effectively sealing off the drain from sewer gas.
When your P-Trap is damaged or incorrectly installed, sniff out any odours when flushing the toilet or when water is flowing down your shower or sink drain. If you can smell sewage, it’s time to replace your P-trap.
