    Mr H2O: Overview Of Basic Plumbing Tools For DIY Maintenance

    Last updated 1 year ago

    If you need to carry out emergency plumbing to fix problems in your home, it’s essential to have the right tools for the job.

     

    In this video from Howcast, plumbing expert Tim Flynn introduces some of the tools commonly found in plumbers’ toolboxes and around the home, such as plungers, pliers and screwdrivers. Many of these tools are multifunctional, and can be used for other jobs aside from plumbing – such as electrical work – while others may be designed especially for plumbing use. It’s also important to have a torch handy to ensure the accuracy of work carried out in dark conditions, and to make sure you replace fittings such as washers on a yearly basis.

    If your plumbing problem is more intricate or extensive, it will be necessary to hire licensed plumbers rather than attempt to fix it yourself. Contact Mr H2O on 02 8999 5091 for electrical and plumbing services in Sefton and Sydney.

     

     

    Mr H2O's Tips For Detecting A Gas Leak

    Last updated 1 year ago

    Some emergency plumbers can offer assistance in other areas of home maintenance, including providing emergency gas repairs if you think you’ve spotted a leak.

    What to do if you spot a gas leak

    Gas leaks can be extremely hazardous and should be fixed as soon as possible, which requires learning how to spot the signs that a leak has occurred. If you smell gas, it’s advisable to leave the building immediately, and to avoid carrying out any activity that could produce a spark, such as switching on a light or telephone. Once you and other people in your household have reached a safe distance, you should call your gas company to disconnect your supply, as well as emergency gas technicians or plumbers to provide immediate assistance.

    How are gas leaks fixed?

    It’s never a good idea to attempt DIY solutions for gas leaks, even if you detect the leak as soon as it occurs, as in the event of a burst pipe or loose valve. Gas can be recognised as a rotten egg smell, and checking whether your gas meter is active when appliances are shut off is also an indication that gas is escaping. When you call for emergency repairs, technicians will shut off your home’s gas supply as soon as the source of the leak is detected, and seal or replace the pipe as well as properly test it before switching the gas back on.

    Summer Plumbing Emergencies From Mr H2o

    Last updated 1 year ago

    The summer season brings its share of plumbing hazards, so making sure you have the number of emergency plumbers handy could be vital for protecting your property from water damage.

    Types of plumbing emergencies

    Perhaps the most common emergency plumbing situation is leaks from pipes and joints, which can cause serious damage to properties if left untreated. As soon as you spot a serious leak, you should switch off your home’s water supply to minimise the damage, as well as the gas supply if the problem is with your hot water heater. Clogged drains and toilets are also common problems, especially if you’re hosting events such as barbecues in the summer season and more people are using your bathroom. If using a standard plunger does not work, it will usually be necessary to call a plumber to avoid the fixture becoming inoperative.

    Preventing common problems

    A little preparation can go a long way when getting your home ready to deal with all types of plumbing emergencies. Make sure you have plungers or coat hangers ready to fix clogged drains as soon as they occur, and avoid overloading the washing machine – especially if your kids have been playing outside and their clothes are covered in dirt, as this can clog and damage the appliance.

    Installing A Rainwater Tank On Your Property With Mr H2O

    Last updated 1 year ago

    Hiring plumbers to install your own water tank at home can reduce your reliance on the local water supply and lower your home’s environmental impact. This is  especially when installing systems that harvest natural rainwater for irrigation.

    Benefits of water tanks

    Having your own water tank gives you greater control over your household water consumption, and will mean you are not impacted by legislation such as sprinkler bans or problems with communal water supplies. When you install a 4000- to 5000-litre rainwater tank, you can reduce the environmental impact of caring for your lawn by reusing fresh water, as well as providing water for other uses such as toilet flushing, washing dishes and laundry. If you're looking for a water tank to supply drinking water, you will need to carefully inspect the hygiene of the tank itself, as well as the pipe delivery system.

    Water tank installation

    Many water tanks are plastic, as this material is cheaper, more durable and easier to move than metal tanks – this can be particularly useful for portable water storage. These tanks are also relatively easy to install, as long as you follow the correct procedure and ensure you choose a suitable location to store your tank, including laying a pad of sand for extra stability. It’s a good idea to hire a plumber to connect the inlet pipes, overflow pipes and outlets to your home’s water delivery system.
