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 Somerset West 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 Somerset West to fix the problem.

What Our Customers Say

Mike

Replacement of geyser

Michael

Very professional and informative in the field. Would highly recommend Leta Plumbing!!!

Geoffrey

I contacted Desmond from my farm in Laingsburg about a massive old bluegum tree that was too close to a house. I sent him photographs and got a quote back from him on the same day! We set a suitable day for him and his team to come - it's a 160km one-way trip - and they arrived bang on time. Everyone on the farm gathered to watch Desmond and his team - much like acrobats - climb the massive tree and slowly and carefully cut it down to size branch by branch. It is dangerous work and they were very professional about the task - no short-cuts, no unwarranted risks taken. I can absolutely recommend Desmond to anyone with a tree problem they need sorted.

Stephen

Andre was tasked to do a complex fan/light installation. Firstly and very important for me, he was punctual. He was very professional and worked quickly. The installation was done as expected. He cleaned up the working area after the job. I will make use of his services again and recommend you give him a try.

Jason

After asking friends and looking through reviews, I contacted Rubiter Group to look at my roof. Wouter , the owner, walked me through the process, , keeping me in loop every step of the way. Installation went great, the crew was attentive and courteous, to my wife and I. Appreciate the job that was done at my house.

Luyolo

I received a great quotation from this company, they did a great quality work, very neat in my property. What I appreciate is their reliability, that I could call them and I did not necessarily have to be present for them to do a good job. I have now used them on two occasions and they delivered on both times. Thank you Mr. Jonathan Isaacs and your team.

San

I had a drywall installed, thrilled with the quick, high standard of service I received @ a great price. Will recommend W.P. and his team any time, looking to forward to do more business with W.P. and his team I can honestly recommend them to anyone.

Owen

Best experience ever! no fuss just good value for money
