Top 6 Frequently Asked Plumbing And Heating Questions – Answered By The Experts - PGS Services
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerWhile
every London or South East England home is likely to have plumbing or heating
issues at one time or another, some problems are more common than others.
However,
before you directly request the assistance of our Oxshott, Clapham or Brixton plumbers at PGS Plumbers, you might be interested in consulting our
answers to six of the most frequently asked questions about plumbing and
heating issues.
Why
is my water bill so high?
The
amount of water that you use every month will naturally fluctuate a little bit.
However, if your water bill suddenly drastically increases, this isn’t just a
potential shock for your wallet – it might also be attributable to one of the
below issues.
- A leaking tap. A leaking tap or
faucet is one of the most common causes of increases in water bills, as
you can waste a lot of water without even realising it.
- Leaking toilets. Toilets
already account for a lot of the water we use daily, so you can imagine
how much water can be wasted if there is a leak.
- Wasting water. Your high water
bill might not be down to a problem with your plumbing, but instead be
caused by the rate at which you use water.
- Outdated, inefficient, or
leaking pipes. The pipes that you can’t see in and around your home might
have a leak or could possibly be outdated or loose.
Is it my plumbing that is making my house smell?
If
you can smell a strange sewer-like scent in your home, this is probably
something to do with your plumbing system. It is likely that you have a clog in one of your
drainage pipes or that the U-trap in your toilet
bowl has dried up.
What
is that noise every time I use my appliances?
If
you hear a consistent noise every time you turn on any appliances such as your
heating or shower, give
our Kingston, Guildford or Brixton plumbers and heating engineers a call. If the noise is ignored it can lead to further damage, as
it is likely your pipes are not properly fastened.
Where is my water shut-off valve?
You
should always know where your water shut-off valve is, in case of an emergency.
Firstly, check any documents from when
you bought or leased the house,
as the water valve should be listed. If it is not, check around the exterior of
your home, especially around the area where your water line meets the water
meter.
Why is my radiator not heating up?
Most
commonly, radiators that aren’t heating up have air, debris, or dirty water
trapped inside. If this is the case at your property, you will need to either
bleed your radiators (letting the air escape) or request our Barnes, Chertsey
or Brixton plumbers and heating experts’
powerflushing
services to flush your heating systems.
What
type of boiler should I choose?
There
are many
different boilers to choose from,
including regular, system, and combi boilers. However, the type of boiler that
is best for you depends on your individual circumstances. For advice on what
boiler would best suit your home and your needs, speak to one of our heating
and gas professionals today.
