Plumbing FAQs
|
1. Why is my water pressure so low in my Swindon home?
Answer: Low water pressure in Swindon is often caused by limescale build up in old pipework or a faulty pressure-reducing valve. Since Swindon is a hard water area, calcium deposits can restrict flow over time. If the issue is only in the shower, it may be a blocked showerhead; if it's house-wide, we can install a booster pump or upgrade you to an unvented hot water cylinder for high-pressure performance throughout the property. 2. How can I stop my pipes from making a loud banging noise? Answer: This "banging" is usually Water Hammer, caused by a sudden change in water flow or high pressure. It can also be due to pipes that aren't securely clipped behind walls. At MPS Heating, we diagnose the cause—whether it’s a faulty ball valve in your tank or the need for a water hammer arrestor—to silence your plumbing and prevent long-term joint damage. 3. What are the signs of a hidden plumbing leak under my floor? Answer: If your water meter is spinning while no taps are on, or you notice warm spots on your laminate flooring, you likely have a "slab leak." Other signs include damp smells, unexplained mould growth, or a sudden drop in boiler pressure. We use specialized leak detection techniques to find the source quickly, minimizing the need to lift up your entire floor. |
4. Is a water softener worth it for a home in Swindon?
Answer: Absolutely. Swindon’s water is classified as "very hard," which causes scale to destroy heating elements in dishwashers, washing machines, and boilers. Installing a water softener or a scale reducer at your mains entry point can:
5. Why does my kitchen sink keep gurgling when the bath drains? Answer: A gurgling sink usually points to a venting issue or a partial blockage in your waste pipes. As water travels down the drain, it creates a vacuum; if your pipes aren't venting correctly, air is sucked through the traps, causing that noise. We can install an Air Admittance Valve (Durgo valve) to equalize the pressure and stop the smell and sound instantly. 6. What should I do if my plastic pipes are leaking at the joints? Answer: Most modern Swindon homes use "Push-fit" plastic plumbing. If these leak, it’s usually due to a perished O-ring or a pipe that wasn't pushed in fully during the original build. Turn off your stopcock immediately. We recommend replacing the affected fitting and ensuring the pipe ends are "de-burred" and fitted with the correct inserts to guarantee a watertight seal. |
