Springtime is upon us. How's the garden looking? Looking to get an outside tap fitted?

Having an outside tap has so many potential benefits. Here are just a few of them;

1. Watering the flowers: No need for constant refills of your watering can.
2. Washing the car: Add to that a power hose attachment and you have your own car wash.
3. Hosing down your dogs after a muddy walk before they completely mess the inside of your house.
4. Bet those outdoor household items such as bins haven't been cleaned for a while!
5. Maybe a bit early but in the summer filling that paddling pool can take minutes rather than hours.

Quick Tip: Test Your Toilet’s Flush Valve Seal for Leaks.

Toilet leaks can be a real pain, but if you catch them early they’ll be more manageable and could save you some more serious plumbing problems down the road.

One of the places you’ll likely find a leak is in your toilet’s flush valve seal. The flush valve seal is what keeps water from flowing from the tank to the bowl of your toilet when it isn’t in flushing mode. Catching a leak in your flush valve seal early requires a simple test: food colouring.

No, you didn’t misread that. All it takes is a couple of drops of food colouring in your toilet tank. Check back in a few hours. If some of the coloured water has found its way into your toilet bowl, that means you have a leak.

Quick Tip: Know Where Your Main Water Valve Is

Plumbing isn’t one of the things that you actively learn about, but it is important to know where your main water valve is and what to do if there is an issue.

If knock on wood, you have pipes burst, turning off your main water valve will help minimize the damage until we can get there to help. If you don’t know where it is, you’re going to spend a lot of time scrambling while your home sustains significant water damage.

Quick Tips: Watch What You Flush

There are certain things that should be flushed and certain things that should definitely not be flushed. We’re pretty sure you catch our meaning.

If you start flushing things other than toilet paper and bodily waste down the toilet, you could cause some serious clogs that we’re betting you really don’t want to deal with. That includes hygiene products, cotton balls, prescription medications, and yes…unfortunate fish.

If you’re noticing that your toilet becomes clogged more and more frequently, there are some additional causes that could be the root of your problem.

Quick Tips: Use A Strainer

Clogs are one of the most common plumbing problems, and when it comes to a shower or sink drain, it can become gross and messy thanks to hair and soap residue.

Avoiding the icky is as simple as using a basket strainer. This will help prevent time-consuming and unpleasant tasks in the future.

When was the last time you had your boiler serviced one, two, three years ago?

Now's your chance to fix that. Pevex Heating and Plumbing are currently running an offer till the end of April to get your residential boiler serviced for £80 only.

Why do you need your boiler serviced every year?

1: Ensure it's running efficiently and safely for the year ahead and ensure there are no potentially harmful leaks of combustible products that may damage the health of your household.

2: Some manufacturer's warrantees may become invalid if you do not service your appliance annually.

3: Perhaps the best reason. Prevention is better and often cheaper than an emergency callout. Regular maintenance minimises the risk of breakdown and will help lengthen the lifespan of your boiler.

Give us a call on 07704 288484 to book your appointment.

Quick Tip: Don’t Pour Grease or Oil Down the Drain

Have you ever heard people talk about eating food to get a ‘grease coat’, or fill themselves up? The same thing that happens when you eat greasy food happens when you dump grease or oil down the drain.

The grease and oil will build up. You won’t notice it at first – you’ll think it’s totally fine, and that as a liquid, down the sink is where it should go. But little by little that grease and oil will clog your pipes and leave you with some serious plumbing problems.

Think about your pipes before pouring that cooking liquid down the drain, and opt for a safer disposal option. For example, wait for the fat to solidify before throwing it in your compost bin.

Always nice when a client takes the time out to write something nice.

"Simple clean and professional, Thomas is professional and took great care in keeping the site clean. He explained what was wrong and rectified it, even rectifying the faults not initially agreed. Very happy with the job done can now sleep easy. Would be getting my boiler and tank serviced annually with him."

A job we did a while back at Brentford School for Girls. Whilst we treat all our clients exactly the same, jobs involving the old and young, there's always that added sense of urgency. The school had an old commercial boiler that was leaking. The job required identifying the leak and repairing it. Whilst it sounds simple enough because it was a commercial boiler it took a bit of time, but we fixed it in the end.

Another happy satisfied customer. This time in Twickenham. Over the last few years, I have noticed more and more homes asking for water softener installations.

They went for the Kinetico Kube 1 Non-Electric Water Softener - For households with up to 2 bathrooms. There is also a larger model for households with up to 4 bathrooms.

Living in a particularly hard-water region water softeners are beneficial to your hair and skin. Softer water reduces the build-up caused by limescale which is particularly noticeable on kettles, taps, and showerheads.

If you're thinking of getting a water softener installed please get in touch.

Here is a nice video explaining the benefits of having a water softener: https://youtu.be/6MXHhWU532s
