Spring News from Accord Plumbing

Spring is here with the days getting longer and temperatures milder. Spring is the ideal time for getting your home in order, and making changes that can save you money and have a positive impact on the environment.

Prevent dollars going down the drain

Did you know that a single slow-dripping tap could add $35.00 a year to your water bill? Water is a precious and ever more costly resource, so ensure your home is leak free. Accord Plumbing can detect and repair any leaking taps and pipes in and around your home. Around 40% of domestic water use occurs in the bathroom and toilet; there are great water saving devices around to help cut your usage.

A leaky toilet cistern is the most common household leak. Add a few drops of vegetable dye to the water in your cistern to see whether water is leaking into the bowl between flushes. Flush thoroughly after the test to avoid staining the porcelain. If you do detect a problem, Accord Plumbing can put your cistern right.

What’s that gurgling noise?

When you flush the toilet do you hear gurgling sounds in a nearby sink or drain? These noises can be a symptom of blocked or inadequate drains, with the flushing toilet trying unsuccessfully to draw air into the drain line. Accord Plumbing can diagnose and fix your gurgling drains before the problem gets more serious.

Spring bathroom makeover

If you’re considering updating your bathroom or toilet this spring, Accord Plumbing are the people to call. Choose your new fixtures and systems and Accord will get them and install them for you.

Helpful Hint – no more laundry sewer smells

It’s not uncommon to have a sewer smell coming from the laundry plumbing. There are a few possible causes:

If you don’t use your washing machine very often, the waste line can hold water that can become smelly after a time.
The laundry drain may not have the correct trap installed and dangerous sewer fumes could be entering your home.

Solution

Flush out the trap in the laundry floor with water from a bucket. If this doesn’t help contact Accord Plumbing and they can diagnose and fix your problem.
