Plumbing advice
Simple maintenance habits that reduce the risk of leaks and water damage in your home, from flexible hoses to water pressure.
Check flexible hoses
Braided flexible hoses under sinks, basins and toilets are a common cause of indoor flooding. Replace any with rust, fraying or bulging.
Keep an eye on wet areas
- Maintain grout and silicone in showers
- Look under sinks every few months
- Watch for swelling cabinetry
Mind your water pressure
Very high water pressure stresses pipes, fittings and appliances. A plumber can test it and fit or replace a pressure-limiting valve if required.
Know your stop tap
Find your main stop tap now so you can act fast if a pipe bursts.
