1. Blocked Sink, Bath & Shower Drains

Sydney’s most common plumbing issue is a blocked kitchen sink, bathroom sink, or bath/shower drain. Over time, debris like hair, fat from soap, grease from cooking, or food particles can cause severe clogs in your drain.

You may need the help of a plumbing professional to break apart the clogs in your blocked drains and ensure that your plumbing fixtures can drain adequately once again.

2. Clogged Toilets

Toilets can become clogged if the water is not strong enough to clear away waste and toilet paper or if objects like sanitary pads, paper towels, and other non-flushable are flushed down the toilet. Some clogs can be cleared on your own, but large clogs typically require the help of a professional plumber.

3. Clogged Garbage Disposal

If your kitchen sink drain has a garbage disposal, it can become clogged by some kinds of food, such as coffee grounds or very fibrous foods like pineapple. You may need the help of a plumber to remove your garbage disposal, clean the debris out of the appliance, and re-install it into your kitchen sink.

4. Dripping Faucets/Taps & Leaky Pipes

A dripping faucet or tap isn’t just a minor annoyance – it can cost you money on your monthly water bill. The same is true of leaky pipes, which can also cause severe water damage to your carpet, electrical systems, and even the structural components of your home. If you notice any signs of leaks or water damage or if you have a faucet

5. Leaking Or Running Toilets

A running or leaking toilet can cost you a lot of money on your water bills or even cause water damage in your bathroom. Leaking or running toilets are often damaged and may require specialised repairs or replacement to fix the issue and keep your bathroom clean and dry.

6. Low Water Pressure

Low water pressure could indicate a valve issue, leak, or old pipes with a lot of mineral build-up. You’ll need the help of a professional plumber to diagnose the problem and determine the proper solution.

7. Faulty Water Heater

If your water heater isn’t working, it may need maintenance or repairs or be replaced entirely. A faulty water heater isn’t just inconvenient. Still, it can also be dangerous if it heats your water to an excessively high temperature or if it’s a gas heater that begins leaking carbon monoxide. Contact a plumber immediately if you’re having issues with your hot water system.
