Almost everyone that has a hot water heater in their home or commercial premises wants to know what its lifespan will be and the frequency at which they need to get it maintained. Since a water heater is an appliance that would last for at least over a decade, you want to be sure that it works correctly and provides you with the functionality you need. Typically when you invest in a water heater from a renowned brand, you can expect it to last for between eight and ten years.

However, if you get it serviced with regularity, you will find that its performance is better and that it will also have an increased service life. We recommend to our clients that they should get hot water service done every six months. When you stick to this bi-annual schedule, it helps to maintain the performance of the system and ensure that you do not have to deal with breakdowns very often. However, this is not a thumb rule.

For example, if the hot water system is on a commercial or residential property that sees a significant amount of use every single day, then you might need to get the service done at shorter intervals. In this situation, we suggest that you get your hot water system serviced every three to four months. Our team of experts is here to handle this job. Not only will inspect the actual hot water unit but also the adjacent plumbing installation. If anything is wrong, they will inform you about it and fix it without delay.

Most people believe that using chemical toilet cleaners is the best way to ensure that their drains remain clean and clear at all times. These products are very readily available in hardware stores or even on supermarket shelves, making it easy for people to reach for them and stock them in their homes. However, even though these products claim that they can clean the drains very effectively, they also tend to cause some damage to the pipes. Apart from this, common chemical drain cleaners are toxic, which makes them unsafe for use in homes where there are children and pets.

The far better option to maintain your drains is to hire professionals like us for the job. We provide high-quality, reliable drain cleaning solutions to residential and commercial clients. We do not use any chemical drain cleaners in our work because they are harmful to the plumbing system. Instead, we use advanced equipment and tools such as CCTV drain cameras and water pressure jets in our work.

If any roots are blocking the drainage pipes, we use root cutting machines to clear the debris. As you can see, it takes much more than chemical drain cleaners to tackle the job without causing any damage to your plumbing system. It is also best to opt for preventive plumbing maintenance as this allows experts like us to determine whether there are any potential problems and fix them before they get out of hand.

There are times when people find that brown coloured water is emerging from the taps and showers in their homes. This can be quite alarming, and the fact is that you need to call in a plumber to address this issue. When you notice brown coloured water coming from the taps in your home, it means that there is rust inside the pipelines. The rust may be from the pipe itself or the hot water unit connected to it. In some instances, sediment builds up inside the hot water unit, causing a lot of debris and dirt to collect in it, which results in the brown coloured water.

This issue needs to be addressed without delay, and you need the services of professional plumbers like the ones at our company. We will use the latest equipment in our work and determine where the problem lies before fixing it. In case the rust and corrosion have eaten into the hot water tank, or if the unit is old, we may recommend that you get it replaced.

There is no fixed solution to this, and the ones that we offer will depend on the inspection that our experts carry out and their assessment of the problem. We also suggest that you get regular preventive plumbing maintenance done as this helps our professionals to spot issues early and address them before they get expensive and complex to fix.

It can be incredibly annoying to step into the shower and find that it takes very long for the hot water to come into it. You might not realise it, but this is quite a common problem that many homeowners complain about. There are various reasons why this could occur. In some cases, it is because the water heater unit location is very far away from specific bathrooms in the house.

In other cases, it is because the pipeline leading to the bathroom is very narrow, which means that it is unable to pull the hot water to the shower at the correct pace. In the case of poorly maintained plumbing systems, sediment build-up inside the pipes could also be causing this problem. No matter what the cause of the issue is, you need to get it fixed without delay.

Sometimes, you find that you lose hot water whenever you shower, and someone else in your house is using a tap at the same time. Various things can cause low water pressure. It could be because the pipe leading to the particular area is too narrow and it cannot support that heavy usage simultaneously. At other times it could be because there is rust build-up of sedimentation build up in the water tank causing low water pressure.

At times the hot water system might be at fault, and it might not have the capacity to heat water at the pace that it is being used.

Many people like to handle DIY projects in their home. While there is nothing wrong in handling minor carpentry projects or even painting individual rooms, plumbing issues are entirely different. These systems are quite complex, and many of the installations are also hidden behind walls or under the ground. It means that if you try to tackle any of these jobs yourself, you may end up causing more damage, which can become very costly to fix down the track.

It is far better to hire the services of a skilled and experienced plumber for all your plumbing issues. When it comes to hiring a plumber, you would want to know how much it will cost to hire them. However, there is no specific rate that all plumbers would charge for a particular job. There are many variables in the picture. The location of the plumbing company where your home is, the type of plumbing problem you are facing and the replacements needed are essential factors that determine the cost.

Sometimes, very experienced and credible companies may charge a higher rate for a particular task. However, they may provide superior services which become benefit for you. You can also ask them whether they charge by the hour or job, and this is another aspect that can change the cost of a particular service. Check whether they cover their work with guarantees as that is another benefit even if they charge slightly higher rates for a plumbing task.
