What’s causing the loud banging I hear when I turn on my taps?

Plumbing pipes are anchored with straps every 1.5m horizontally and vertically. A banging noise happens when there’s not enough cushioning or secured straps around your pipes. To stop the banging you can opt for a plumber to add more strapping to your pipes. Additional strapping and cushioning could prevent wear on the pipes. It’s advised that you leave room for expansion when you anchor pipes, especially if they’re plastic tubing.

What do I do when my tap won’t turn off?

Most sinks have a main shut off tap located underneath the fixture. Turn the main tap off immediately if your sink faucet won’t close. If there isn’t a main tap under the sink, turn your water off completely by closing the valve outside your house. Turning off the main water supply is temporary until you can bring in a plumber to fix your sink tap.

Where do I find the main water shut off for the tap?

The valve that turns off your water supply is typically situated outside in the backyard or in your garage. When moving to a new property, always familiarise yourself with where the main water valve is situated. Be prepared in case of any plumbing requirements.

How do I know if I have a leaking or burst pipe?

Sometimes you may not know that you have a burst pipe until it’s too late. Plumbing pipes are integrated into your walls and under your house, so it can be difficult to detect when a tube is damaged. If you’re experiencing abnormally high water bills for your property in Pretoria it could indicate that you have a leaking pipe somewhere. Another telltale sign of a burst pipe is mould growth on your walls or wet patches of soil in your garden.

How do I know when my drain is blocked?

One early sign of drain blockage is a foul odour coming from the sinks, bath or shower drains. If you notice a pungent odour coming from your drains, it may be time to contact plumbers in Pretoria to fix the problem.
