Plumbing & Boiler Issues
Low Boiler Pressure
Although having low boiler pressure is not a serious issue, it can have a real effect on how well your shower runs and the cost of keeping your house warm. Our plumber Nottingham offers one-time fixes, as well as annual boiler and heat pump installation Nottingham servicing to ensure optimal performance from your boiler.
Sewage Problems
Bad smells coming from your drains could suggest that you have a blockage somewhere in the sewage line; this is one of the most common problems in plumbing. Blockages can be caused by flushing the wrong items down your toilet and drain or even having tree roots growing in your sewage. Though it may be a common issue, it can also become extremely messy without the correct tools and knowledge to correct the problem. Our plumbers Nottingham are equipped and ready to locate the main source of the problem and return your plumbing back to optimal functionality.
Burst Pipes
Although having low boiler pressure is not a serious issue, it can have a real effect on how well your shower runs and the cost of keeping your house warm. Our plumber Nottingham offers one-time fixes, as well as annual boiler and heat pump installation Nottingham servicing to ensure optimal performance from your boiler.
What We
Suggest to Avoid
Sanitary products
These are designed to absorb liquid and not to break it down, so flushing them will only help them to expand more.
Grease, fats and oils
Pouring fats and oils down the sink can severely clog your sewage pipes. Instead, you should let them solidify (by pouring them into a container and keeping them in the fridge), and wipe excess grease with a paper towel before you wash up.
Hair
If you’ve noticed that your shower is flooding, then this could be due to your pipes being blocked with hair. Try investing in a drain cover that will trap hair, or regularly flushing out the plughole with a baking soda mixture.
Wipes
Even ‘flushable’ wipes will not disintegrate in the same way that toilet paper does. They also contain small plastic fibres which can harm marine life, or, potentially end up entering the human food chain.
We understand that over time, items, substances and disposals may cause blockages and other plumbing issues. Simply contact our plumbers in Nottingham for further information on how to avoid issues with your property’s appliances.
