Everyone experiences plumbing issues from time to time and the bathroom is where most of these problems occur. With over 20 years of combined industry experience, the team at PMB Environmental Ltd undertakes a broad range of plumbing services to resolve any issue you’re facing. Whether you have blocked drains, leaking taps or low water pressure, we find the ideal solution. However, we know it can be frustrating when you don’t know why your drainage system isn’t working properly. That’s why we’ve created a handy guide to the most common bathroom plumbing issues our customers in Grays face.
Many bathroom drainage problems are easy to fix, but if you don’t have experience, it’s best to call the professionals at PMB Environmental Ltd. We ensure quick and effective solutions without causing further damage or unnecessary disruption.
Clogged drains are a very common occurrence in homes across Grays and the UK. They are often the result of people flushing inappropriate items, like wipes and cotton buds, down the toilet, or from hair, soap and other products building up in the system.
It’s easy to tell if you have a blockage because water won’t properly drain from your toilet, sink, bath or shower. As part of our plumbing services, we use specialist equipment, such as high-pressure water jets, to dislodge blockages and clean the system. With a CCTV survey, we make sure pipes in Grays are completely clear and free from damage.
Avoid using chemical cleaners as these won’t properly resolve the issue and may cause more damage.
Is your toilet constantly running? If yes, and you don’t address the issue, you could waste a lot of money in the long term. Running toilets can be the result of a few different issues, such as a faulty flapper seal or flush valve.
It may be a simple case of adjusting certain elements, but it may be necessary to replace a component. Offering extensive plumbing services, we supply and install any part you require.
If you have a dripping tap, you know how annoying it can be. In addition, a constant drip can really add to your water bills. Often, dripping taps in Grays are the result of ineffective washers.
The replacement process can be quite finicky, so you may find it best to call the experts at PMB Environmental Ltd.
Households in Grays often require our plumbing services for help with low water pressure. If your taps have low pressure, confirm if it’s both the hot and cold taps or just one. If both have issues, the aerator is the first place to start.
Calcium deposits build up in the aerator over time, affecting water flow. Cleaning the aerator is often enough to fix the problem.
Other causes of low water pressure include:
Low water pressure can result in water merely trickling from your taps or shower. As well as being frustrating, this makes your bathroom effectively unusable. Some modern showers won’t work below a certain pressure, so use our plumbing services to keep your home functional.
