Plumbing problems solved
Welcome to our plumbing tips page, brought to you by Raydom Engineering Services Ltd. Here, we share expert advice to help you tackle common plumbing issues, save money, and maintain a healthy plumbing system in your home or business in Slough and the wider London area.
Common plumbing problems
Many of our customers struggle with dripping taps, blocked drains, running toilets, and low water pressure. These issues can be frustrating and, if left unaddressed, can lead to more significant problems and higher water bills. Raydom Engineering Services Ltd is here to help you resolve these and other plumbing challenges efficiently.
Simple advice for saving money
A few simple plumbing tips can save you both time and money. Firstly, fix dripping taps promptly to avoid water wastage. Secondly, avoid pouring fats, oils, and grease (FOG) down the drain, as they can cause blockages. Instead, collect them in a container and dispose of them properly. Thirdly, regularly flush your water heater to remove sediment buildup, improving its efficiency and lifespan. These small steps can make a big difference to your bills.
DIY or call a plumber?
Minor issues like a dripping tap or a slightly clogged drain can often be fixed yourself with the right tools and some guidance. However, it’s definitely time to call a plumber when you're dealing with major leaks, burst pipes, sewage backups, or any plumbing work that involves gas lines or requires specialised knowledge. Incorrectly handling these situations can lead to property damage and safety hazards. When in doubt, contact Raydom Engineering Services Ltd for professional assistance.
Plumbing upkeep
One of the best things you can do to keep your plumbing in good shape is to regularly inspect it for leaks and address them promptly. Additionally, avoid flushing non-flushable items like wet wipes and sanitary products down the toilet, as these can cause blockages. Consider using drain strainers in your sinks and showers to catch hair and debris before they clog your drains. Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs down the line.
