01
Blocked Drains & Sewer Backups
Water draining slowly, an overflowing gully or more than one blocked fixture can point to a restriction in the waste or sewer line. The cause might be built-up waste, roots, a damaged pipe or a local fixture blockage.
What we check: Which fixtures are affected, available access points and whether clearing, high-pressure jetting or a CCTV drain inspection is appropriate.

02
Burst & Leaking Water Pipes
Water appearing suddenly, a burst line or an unexpected drop in water pressure may need prompt isolation. If safe, turn off the main water supply to limit damage; the repair depends on pipe material, access and the location of the failure.
What we check: The source and extent of the leak, accessible isolation points, pipe condition and the scope of replacement pipework needed.

03
Hidden Water Leaks & Unexplained Usage
A higher-than-usual water bill, damp wall or wet ground can suggest a concealed leak. If all taps and appliances are off, unexpected water-meter movement may be another sign, but it does not establish where a leak is located.
What we check: Water-meter behaviour, affected fixtures, accessible water lines and whether further leak-location testing is justified.

04
Running, Leaking & Poorly Flushing Toilets
A toilet that continually refills, leaks onto the floor or does not flush properly may have a failed inlet valve, outlet seal, flush component or a drainage problem. The repair depends on the fault found.
What we check: The cistern and flush mechanism, visible seals and connections, and whether the problem is in the toilet or connected drainage.

05
Dripping Taps & Leaking Mixers
A dripping tap, stiff handle or leaking mixer may be caused by a worn washer, cartridge or seal. Sometimes replacement is better value than repair, depending on the fitting and availability of compatible parts.
What we check: Tap or mixer type, access to isolation valves, cartridge compatibility and the condition of the fitting.

06
Low Water Pressure & Poor Flow
Low flow at one tap can be a fixture issue, while poor pressure throughout the property may involve a valve, supply restriction or pipework. A whole-street interruption may instead be an issue for the local water provider.
What we check: Which outlets are affected, measured pressure and flow where appropriate, isolation valves and accessible supply components.
