Our Top FAQs
(Questions and Answers in Detail)
01. How can I detect and fix a leak in my home?
Detecting a leak typically involves looking for water stains on walls or ceilings, damp spots on floors, or hearing the sound of running water when no taps are on. To fix minor leaks, you can use plumbing tape or sealant, but for significant issues, it's best to call our experienced team for a professional inspection and repair.
02. Why is my water pressure so low?
Low water pressure can be caused by various factors, including clogged pipes, leaks, or issues with the municipal water supply. We recommend checking for visible leaks and contacting us for an assessment if the problem persists.
03. What should I do if my pipes freeze in winter?
If you suspect your pipes are frozen, turn off the water supply immediately and call us for assistance. Do not attempt to thaw the pipes with a blowtorch; instead, use a hairdryer on a low setting or wrap them in towels soaked in warm water.
04. How do I know if my boiler or water heater needs replacing?
Signs that your boiler may need replacing include strange noises, frequent breakdowns, or a noticeable increase in energy bills. Our team can provide a thorough inspection to help you decide whether repair or replacement is the best option.
05. Why is my radiator not heating properly?
If your radiator is cold, it may need bleeding to release trapped air, or there could be an issue with your heating system. We can assess and resolve any issues to ensure your home remains warm and comfortable.
06. How can I make my heating system more energy-efficient?
Consider upgrading to a modern boiler, ensuring your home is well-insulated, and scheduling regular maintenance checks. Our team can advise on the best energy-efficient solutions for your heating system.
07. What should I do in a plumbing emergency, such as a burst pipe?
In the event of a plumbing emergency, turn off your water supply immediately and contact us for rapid assistance. Our experienced plumbers in Southwell are available for emergency call-outs to resolve urgent issues.
08. How often should I have my heating system or boiler serviced?
We recommend having your heating system serviced annually to ensure optimal performance and safety. Regular servicing can also help identify potential issues before they become costly repairs.
09. Can I DIY a plumbing repair, or should I call a professional?
While minor repairs may be manageable, we advise contacting a professional for significant issues. Our accredited team at Elite Heat Plumbing and Heating Ltd can ensure the repair is done safely and correctly.
10. Why does my toilet keep running after flushing?
A running toilet is often caused by a faulty flapper valve or issues with the fill valve. We can provide quick and efficient repairs to restore your toilet's functionality.
