Frequently Asked Questions about Plumbing

What should I do if there is a leak in my home?

If you notice a leak the first action to take is to turn your water off. Locate the stopcock and make sure it is turned all the way off.

You may want to turn of your heating and electricity if you’re worried the leak is coming from the heating system or water is near wires.

Next, run your taps to make sure all the water leaves the pipes.

Call a plumber to identify the problem and fix it before it gets worse.

Whilst you wait for a plumber, you may want to move furniture or other household items out of the way of the leak in case they get damaged. A dehumidifier is a good way of collecting excess moisture caused by a leak.

How can I prevent water leaks in my home?

Plumbing leaks can spring for a variety of reasons so there are several ways you can prevent them.

Get your boiler serviced
Maintain good water pressure
Check before you hammer
Use pipe insulation
Don’t let your pipes freeze
Regularly check for seal deterioration

Get your boiler serviced regularly, at least once a year. Boiler servicing can help identify issues with pipes and water pressure.

Keep your water pressure at a sensible level. You need enough pressure for water to get through your pipes but don’t have it too high as that can cause too much stress on the pipework.

Don’t put holes in your pipes. This might seem obvious, but you’ll be surprised how many people cause leaks because they have hang pictures up without checking what they were hammering or drilling in to. Use a stud finder to detect pipes in the walls so you can avoid damaging them. Stud finders are also great for detecting wires.

Insulate your pipes to protect them from freezing. Frozen water expands which can cause damage to pipes. Insulation reduces the likelihood and severity of freezing pipes, plus it keeps your water cooler in the summer too.

Turn your boiler to frost settings. Your boiler might have a setting that automatically detects when temperatures have reached freezing and warms the water so it doesn’t freeze in the pipes.

Check your appliances and taps regularly. The seals on appliances like dishwashers and washing machines can wear out over time so it’s important to check their integrity. The same goes for toilets, baths, showers and sinks; anywhere there are pipes connecting.
