Plumbing is one of those things property owners rarely think about until they face visible issues. Some homeowners like fixing minor problems by themselves without taking the time to determine the cause. This often leads to serious issues that cost more to repair and could lead to property damage.

Opting to work with professionals like Geelong Plumbers will help you fix plumbing and hot water issues the first time. Our team of technicians are qualified and experienced, so you will get quality services each time you call on us. Besides, we have invested in the latest plumbing equipment like sewer jetting, drain cameras, gas leakage detection meters, and hydro-jetting drain cleaners that enable our team to work proficiently and promptly.

So how do you know it is time to contact us? Below are the top signs of a plumbing issue.

You Don’t Have Water

Imagine coming home from work, and when you turn on the faucet or shower, you realise there is no water at all. When you try other taps and notice there is no water, ask if your neighbours are experiencing the same issue. If not, then you will know you have a problem with your plumbing system and need help from Geelong Plumbers. The chances are that you are facing a major plumbing problem like a major leak, frozen pipes or backup issue with the water main. Our plumber will identify the primary cause of your problem and fix it right away. This will also ensure you do not incur enormous bills if the issue is a leakage.

You Have Smelly or Discoloured Water

The water that comes from your taps and showerhead should always be fresh, clean, and odourless. If you notice it smells funny or the fixtures appear to be stained, you should know you have a problem that only a seasoned plumber can fix. If the water is greenish, then it might mean you have copper corrosion. Brown discolouration signifies that the water has too much iron, while awful smells show the sewage is seeping into the clean water. Once you call us, we will send a plumbing technician to determine the actual cause of the smelly or discoloured water and fix it.

You Don’t Have Hot Water

If you’re like most homeowners, you have a hot water system that provides the heated water you require for household use. An instant heater warms the water right before it is directed to the taps, while a tank water heater always has stored boiling water for immediate use. If you have a large storage hot water system or have an instant gas system, it must be functioning effectively and efficiently. In the event that you keep getting cold water repeatedly, you should contact a Geelong plumber immediately. We will send a technician to troubleshoot the problem as it could be a minor issue or a serious concern. Some of the things our plumbers will check include the heating elements, piping, thermostat, igniters, fuses, etc., and repair the unit promptly.

Do not do it yourself when you notice any of these signs, as you will likely put yourself at risk or cause more damages. It is better to call Geelong 24 Hour Plumbing on 1300 368 866 to get assistance on any plumbing-related matter. Our service is guaranteed and will come at an affordable rate.
