In a plumbing emergency such as burst pipes, severe leaks or blocked drains, the first and most crucial step is to turn off the main water supply to prevent further water damage to your property. The shut-off valve is usually located near your water meter or where the main water line enters your home. After shutting off the water, immediately contact a licensed plumber who can provide emergency services. While waiting for the plumber, avoid using any water fixtures including sinks, toilets or showers to minimise further complications. Having the contact details of a reliable local plumber saved on your phone can save you valuable time during emergencies.

Hot water systems typically last between 10-15 years, depending on the type, usage and maintenance. Signs that your hot water system may need replacing include inconsistent water temperatures, rusty or discoloured water, unusual noises like banging or popping and reduced water pressure. If your system frequently requires repairs, it may be more cost-effective to replace it with a new, energy-efficient model. Leaks around the tank or a lack of hot water altogether are also indicators that your system might be failing. A licensed plumber can assess the condition of your current system and recommend whether repair or replacement is the best option to ensure a reliable hot water supply.

Blocked drains are a common household issue and can be caused by a variety of factors, including the build-up of grease, soap scum, hair and food particles in kitchen and bathroom sinks. Other common causes include tree roots infiltrating sewer lines, which can crack or block pipes, and foreign objects like wipes, sanitary products or toys being flushed down toilets. Over time, these materials accumulate and restrict water flow, leading to slow-draining sinks, unpleasant odours and potential water damage. Regular maintenance, such as clearing debris from drains, using drain guards and avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items, can help prevent blockages and keep your plumbing system functioning smoothly.
