Indoor plumbing is essential to keep a household running smoothly. If not maintained regularly, repairs (or restorations) can become an expensive nightmare. Many homeowners make basic mistakes and don’t notice so until something goes very wrong. Keep your water bill as low as possible with these simple pointers.
Forgetting to turn off the water supply
If you are not attentive, clogged, or slow running drains can become a problem. Leaky faucets are important plumbing fixtures that need addressing quickly. Make sure you’re aware of where the water main and shut-off valves that control the water flow to your toilets and sinks are located.
Using drain cleaning products with strong chemicals
A clogged drain in your home caused by liquid fats being poured down the drain or soap scum and hair accumulation can be unsightly and odorous after some time. Our first point of call is usually to use a drain unblocking treatment easily bought from your local supermarket and deal with it.
However, some of these drain unblocking products can be very acidic and be chock full of chemicals that can actually cause damage to your pipes if not used correctly. Make sure you follow the instructions provided on a drain unblocking product to ensure you don’t cause further damage to your pipes.
Fixing plumbing issues on your own
Attempting to repair plumbing problems on your own can cause further issues if you’re not fully sure of what you’re doing. Furthermore, some repairs require certain permits or qualifications, or you could potentially void any warranty you may have on a specific component in your plumbing system. It’s always best to get a professionally qualified plumber or contractor to come out to deal with the issue instead of attempting to do this yourself.

Innovative touchless plumbing fixtures
Cutting edge technology is constantly improving our modern day lives. It may take a little time for these improvements to pay off, however, we’ve come a long way since the creation of modern day plumbing systems.
Installing touchless toilets
This plumbing system is essentially hands-free and when sensors indicate that the user has finished using the toiler, the flush will automatically go into operation. Physical buttons and levers are also a component of this toilet in case manual operation is required.
One of the most appealing aspects of such a toilet is the fact that you’re less likely to transfer germs to your bathroom sink taps whilst also saving how much water is used.
How to deal with burst pipes?
A very inconvenient but disappointingly common household problem is an unexpected burst pipe within your home. What can you do whilst you wait for a professional plumber to attend your property? There are several simple fixes for such times that may prevent the problem from becoming worse or causing damage to your home.
Turn off the main water supply valve
The first thing you can do is turn off the main water valve to prevent water wastage and damage to your property. If you’re not sure where your main water valve is located, your best bet would be to check your kitchen first.
Drain the pipe and turn off the electricity
Once you’ve switched off the main valve, you’ll need to drain the pipes to ensure no further water leaks from the damaged piping. Flush all of the toilets and switch the faucets to cold water. The last thing you’ll want is to accidentally have piping hot water leaking. This can also be avoided by turning off your boiler. Water naturally conducts electricity so make sure you turn the power off if there is any potential for the leak to reach electrical outlets/sockets and fuse panels.
Identify the source
It might be hard to pinpoint the source of leaks. Even upon closer investigation, the exact location of the burst pipe can be elusive due to how your plumbing system is set up in your home. You should probably initially check the locations of any obvious signs first such as bulging ceilings, pooling water, or the cupboard under the sink filling up with water.
Determine the size of the break in the pipe
Fortunately, determining the extent of the damage once the source has been found is a straightforward process. In most cases, a chemical bonding agent or solvent is used to seal any gaps and fractures. It’s natural to be overwhelmed when you’re in a situation like this but rest assured you can rely on our plumbers at Intercity Gas to repair or replace your damaged pipes when the job isn’t something you could rectify yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my home needs a mains water line repair?+
You may notice a dramatic increase in your water bills, weird noises coming from the pipes, low water pressure from your faucets, or discoloured, contaminated, or cloudy water. Any of these can be a sign you may have a fault in your plumbing system that requires a diagnosis and repair.
Should you replace polybutylene piping in your home?+
Some homes built between the 1970s and 1990s featured polybutylene pipe due to it being considered easy to plumb as it was composed of flexible plastic. It is, however, highly susceptible to breaking and is still being removed from homes as a preventative precaution. If your polybutylene pipe is deteriorating, an examination can identify why.
Why is my toilet gurgling?+
A gurgling toilet could mean that something is wrong. Don’t disregard the issue as your toilet could cause a very inconvenient problem if it isn’t flushing correctly. Flushed water may back up, or it may consistently smell very bad along with causing potential damage to your plumbing system.
What is the expected lifespan of my home’s plumbing system?+
Your home’s plumbing system is in constant use all day, every day, and making sure you maintain that system can extend its lifespan. Pipes made of brass, iron, or steel have a sustainable lifespan of around 50-70 years. Copper pipes have a lifespan of around 70-80 years and more, whereas PVC pipes will always have a lifespan of fewer than 50 years.
