Blocked Drains Sutherland Shire

If your toilet is clogged, try using a plunger first. If that doesn't work, you may need to use a plumbing snake or call a professional plumber.

To prevent pipes from freezing, insulate them with foam sleeves, keep your home heated, and let faucets drip during extremely cold weather to keep water moving.

A slow-draining sink is often caused by a buildup of debris, such as hair, soap scum, or food particles. Cleaning the drain trap or using a plumber's snake can usually resolve the issue.

Low water pressure can be caused by several factors, including clogged pipes, a malfunctioning pressure regulator, or issues with the municipal water supply. Checking and cleaning aerators on faucets and showerheads can sometimes help.

If your water heater isn't providing enough hot water, it could be due to sediment buildup in the tank, a faulty thermostat, or a malfunctioning heating element. Regular maintenance and flushing the tank can improve performance.

Hidden leaks can be detected by monitoring your water bill for unexplained increases, checking for damp spots or mould growth, and using a water metre to track usage when no water is being used.
