Limescale.Hard water is a primary cause of limescale. Limescale forms around our domestic equipment such as showers and taps. There are many other places for this limescale to form, including pipework, washers, dishwashers and heating systems. It is a good idea to fit something called a water softener to combat this problem, however they are quite expensive to fit. Edgeware Plumbers are experienced professionals and can fit water softeners.Waste Pipes.Waste pipes are vital to our wellbeing and should always be regularly maintained even if it is only a visual check. There are filter plates that can fit over our drains to catch debris such as hair etc. The drains on the exterior of our homes are prone to blockages by leaves etc so fit a leaf guard to stop this. Clean the guard at regular intervals.Guard Against Freezing.Ensure that pipework that is exposed to the elements is insulated exposed to freezing conditions is properly lagged. Also inspect the attic and basement pipes as required. Isolation of any taps outside prior to winter weather is a good idea. Look After Your Boiler.Your boiler will perform to its optimum efficiency if it is serviced and maintained at the recommended intervals. Look at the colour of the flame in the boiler, it should be blue colour. If the flame is a yellow colour, then there is probably an issue with the boiler. Any work on boilers must be carried out by a professional and registered plumber. An Edgeware Plumber can service boilers.Drips.Dripping taps are a common problem and in the main can be rectified by a quick tighten. A perished washer could be the problem in which case it is fairly easy to replace. Always isolate the water supply before carrying out any work. Call an expert if you are unsure.Know Your Valves.Site and mark your main stopcock valve so that if you have to isolate it in an emergency you can find it. Take some time and locate other valves in your house and label them too. Valves seize up now and again so it is a good idea to open and close regularly to keep the operation sound.
