Low water pressure in the shower can result from a variety of issues, including mineral buildup in the showerhead, clogs in the pipes, or a problem with the pressure regulator. Cleaning the showerhead and having a plumber assess your plumbing system can help identify and fix the problem.

A constantly running toilet is usually due to a problem with the flapper, flush valve, Under water valve washer, or the fill valve in the tank. Replacing, or adjusting these components can often resolve the issue. If not, it’s best to consult a plumber. If you do not want water meters we need to conserve water. Constantly running cisterns cause huge water loss.

The frequency of septic tank pumping depends on factors such as tank size, household size, and water usage. On average, septic tanks should be pumped every 3 to 5 years. However, it’s best to consult with a septic system professional to determine the right schedule for your specific situation.

If you discover a leaking pipe, the first step is to turn off the water supply to that specific area or the entire house if necessary. Then, contact a plumber immediately to assess and repair the leak. Depending on the severity, you may need to collect the leaking water in a container or use a temporary patch until the plumber arrives.

A leaking faucet is often caused by worn-out washers, O-rings, or seals inside the faucet. You can attempt to fix it by turning off the water supply to the faucet, disassembling it, and replacing the damaged components. If you’re not comfortable with this process, or if the leak continues after the repair, consider hiring a plumber.

Finding a water leak can be challenging if it is just dampness. The bigger leaks are obvious. If you suspect a leak but can’t locate it, start by checking for visible signs, like water stains or mold. You can also monitor your water meter for unusual activity when no water is being used eg take a reading over night and see how different they are. Fixing the leak often requires a professional plumber who can use specialized equipment to pinpoint the source and make the necessary repairs. Sometimes we have to cut a wall open but the plaster board is likely already ruined so no further loss in that instance. We can do the reinstatement too.
