Your plumbing system runs like clockwork until something goes wrong – and then all of a sudden it commands your attention… quick.
If you have experienced a wet floor or if there is evidence of water damage through crumbling paint and wall materials, then the time to act is now. Here are 5 ways you can get things moving again in your home or business around Loughborough, Shepshed, Hathern, Belton, and the East Midlands.
1. Turn off the Water
Your first priority when plumbing issues become apparent is to turn off the source of the problem. Turning off the main water to the home might sound inconvenient, but it can stop any more damage from happening. It might also allow you to see exactly what the problem is upon closer inspection, whether that is a crack in the pipes or a blocked drain.
2. Check the Sump Pump
The sump pump of a home or business premises can cause a lot of issues if it is clogged or simply not working right. Use water to try to flush out the system if necessary. If you are unsure, please get in contact with the team at Synergy Plumbing Services.
3. Look at the Drains
People often have the misconception that drain backup problems are attributed to just the pipes around your building. Sometimes the problem is not with your personal drains, but shared drains and culverts that are close to the house or property. Professionals such as Synergy Plumbing Services can clear shared drains, or help you to identify underlying problems.
4. Check the Water Heater
Pressure can build up fast within a water heater and that pressure has been known to cause the system to drastically wrong. When turning off the water to deal with plumbing issues, do not forget about the need to turn off the water heater as well. Synergy are qualified to service and fix water heaters.
5. Inspections
Storms and flooding is a common problem. Having your system regularly inspected after these storms and mishaps will ensure that everything is working properly. Always inspect for obvious debris or obstructions cased by leaves or roots. Homeowners can do many things themselves, but when it comes to plumbing needs, it is best to call a professional.
