As a family-owned business based in Cheltenham, Longbeach Plumbing has been proudly serving the local community for over 40 years. In 2024, we’ve identified six common plumbing challenges faced by homes in Cheltenham and nearby suburbs. Addressing these issues promptly with a trusted, local plumber is key to maintaining a safe and efficient home.
The Top Six Plumbing Issues
1. Burst Flexi Hose Connections
Burst flexi hoses have become one of the most frequent plumbing emergencies this year. These flexible connectors, commonly found under sinks and behind toilets, often degrade with time. When they fail, they can cause severe water damage. Longbeach Plumbing offers inspections and replacements to prevent this common issue.
2. Blocked Drains
Blocked drains are a persistent issue caused by tree root intrusions, debris buildup, and grease accumulation in pipes. Longbeach Plumbing utilizes advanced tools like hydro jets and CCTV cameras to identify and clear blockages effectively. As licensed Vaporooter operators, we also offer a long-term solution by using this eco-friendly treatment to prevent tree root regrowth in your pipes, saving you from repeated drain blockages.
3. Leaking Toilets and Taps
Small leaks, whether from toilets or taps, can waste a significant amount of water and increase your utility bills. Our skilled plumbers quickly resolve these issues, helping you save water and money.
4. Hot Water System Failures
Aging hot water systems are a persistent issue in older Cheltenham homes. Longbeach Plumbing specializes in repairing or upgrading systems to ensure your household has reliable and energy-efficient hot water.
5. Burst Pipes
Melbourne’s fluctuating temperatures can stress pipes, causing them to crack or burst. Rapid response is crucial to minimize damage, and Longbeach Plumbing is always ready to provide fast, professional assistance during emergencies.
6. Gas Leaks
Gas leaks are a critical safety concern that require immediate action. Our team is equipped with the latest technology to detect and repair leaks, ensuring your home remains safe and compliant with safety standards.
