 Repair plumbing noises yourself Accessing pipes, valves, connections and fixtures can be difficult if you are not familiar with residential plumbing projects. A few simple steps can be taken to fix the noise, but the repair may not be easy, even for the most experienced do-it-yourself homeowner.  Screeching High-pitched noises, such as squealing, whistling and bellowing, coming from the plumbing system usually indicate that the valves are in need of repair. One of the bolts, nuts or other small pieces of hardware may be broken, worn or missing. You can check the valve hardware to find the source of the problem, then simply replace the broken piece. We can also schedule one of our technicians to come and fix the problem. Gurgling Drains can produce noises due to problems within the pipes that carry water to the sewer, such as a gurgling sound just below the drain or in the walls. The gurgling indicates that the pipe is partially clogged and needs to be cleared. When to call a ...

Low water pressure in your home?

 Obsolete equipment Obsolete equipment is one of the most common causes of low water pressure in homes. Old galvanised steel water pipes can corrode to such an extent that water flow is severely restricted. A build-up of mineral deposits such as sediment and limescale can clog systems, preventing water from flowing freely. This not only has an impact on water pressure, but can also affect water quality. Even if the water pipes corrode on the inside, one can notice this phenomenon even without seeing the limescale build-up. The accumulation of materials inside the pipe can gradually close the line. This problem takes years to develop. That is why the reduction in water pressure is very gradual. However, if you move into a house with outdated steel pipes, the problem can start earlier. Defective pressure regulators Pressure regulators are control valves that regulate the pressure in the pipe system. They play an important role in reducing the pressure to a safe level that does not da...
