Water-Saving Upgrades
Why do my pipes make banging noises and is it dangerous?
That bang is a pressure surge when fast-closing taps or appliances stop water suddenly. Loose pipework or high water pressure can make the thump louder and more frequent. Simple fixes include securing loose pipes, installing slow-close valves, or fitting water-hammer arrestors/pressure regulators. Left unchecked, repeated shocks can stress joints and valves, so it’s worth addressing sooner rather than later.
What are the signs of a hidden leak, and how can I check before calling a plumber?
Unexplained higher water bills, a constantly ticking water meter, damp or warm patches, musty smells, and warped floors are classic clues. Turn off fixtures, then check if the meter still moves—movement suggests a leak on the property side. Food colouring in toilet cisterns can reveal silent leaks into the bowl. If water is spreading quickly, shut off the main supply and document the area with photos.
How often should a hot water system be serviced, and what helps it last longer?
Most units benefit from a yearly inspection to check valves, thermostat settings, and overall condition. Flushing sediment from storage tanks annually can improve efficiency and reduce noise. Testing the temperature/pressure relief valve regularly and replacing sacrificial anodes every 3–5 years (water quality dependent) supports longevity. If the unit is 10–12+ years old, shows rusty water, or struggles to keep up, planning a replacement can prevent sudden failures.
