Spring in Perth is the perfect time to give your home’s plumbing a little TLC. After the colder months, pipes and drains can accumulate debris, grease, and even tree root growth. By taking a few preventative steps now, you can avoid costly plumbing emergencies down the track
Clear Out Your Drains
Spring often brings more outdoor activity – and more debris washing into your drains. Regularly check and clear outdoor drains of leaves, sand and garden waste. Indoors, be mindful of what’s going down the sink. Food scraps, oils and coffee grounds can quickly lead to blockages
Check For Slow Draining Fixtures
A slowly draining sink, shower or toilet can be the first sign of a blockage. Don’t ignore it. Early intervention usually means a quick fix, saving you from a full-scale drain disaster later.
Inspect for Leaks & Drips
Leaking taps and pipes aren’t just annoying – they waste water and can cause hidden damage. Check under sinks, around your hot water system and along visible pipework. If you spot anything, it’s best to call in a qualified plumber.
Tree Roots & Underground Pipes
In Perth’s sandy soil, tree roots are notorious for finding their way into drains. If you’ve noticed recurring blockages or bad smells, an in-drain camera inspection can pinpoint the problem before it becomes a major repair.
