Plumbing Newcastle, All areas of plumbing and gasfitting

One of the most common issues in commercial and residential plumbing is people failing to spot the warning signs. Often, they overlook minor issues and/or don’t perform routine checks. Simply put, they – do nothing – and hope the problems will go away by themselves. Of course, not every dripping tap is a disaster waiting to happen – but – many common problems can be an early indication of something more serious. The interesting thing is – many of the plumbing emergencies we handle in Newcastle and the Hunter are avoidable and preventable. It’s often easier, faster and cheaper for experienced plumbers to fix minor issues before they become major disasters. The good news is, with our free hints and tips – home and business owners can easily identify the warning signs, themselves: • Tip 1 – Look for Wet Spots: check under sinks, in attics and crawl spaces. If you find any traces of damp or mould, this might indicate your pipes are leaking! • Tip 2 – Monitor water Pressure: if your shower starts losing pressure, or kitchen / bathroom taps begin to run slowly, this might be a sign of ‘build up’ or ‘partial blockage’ inside your pipes! • Tip 3 – Check the Water Heater: inspect your water heater regularly, for any sign of rust and corrosion. This is an early warning indicator that it needs servicing or replacing! • Tip 4 – Check for Gas Leaks: spray some soapy water onto the gas shut off valve, located near the water heater. If you see any sign of bubbles forming, this might indicate a gas leak! • Tip 5 – Be prepared!: emergencies happen, so plan ahead. First, ensure you know where your shut-off valves are. Second, have the number of MCS plumbing stored in your mobile phone. If disaster strikes, you’ll be able to act fast! The best thing is, these free hints and tips are simple, quick and require no plumbing or DIY experience. If you spot any of the warning signs, Call Mitch from MCS Plumbing – before things get worse. Simply put, the earlier you call us, the easier, faster and cheaper it will be to keep you safe www.mcsplumbingnewcastle.com

Unless you like taking cold showers, it’s important to inspect and maintain your water heater on a regular basis. A thorough check-up every six months can minimize the chance of a sudden breakdown that could leave you with nothing but cold water until a plumber can make repairs. More modern and sophisticated systems like continuous water heaters, heat pumps and solar units should generally be inspected and maintained by trained plumbers, because tinkering with high-tech components is not a DIY job. But if you have a classic storage tank water heater, there are some basic maintenance steps you can perform yourself. Before you even touch your water heater, there are some areas you should check for warning signs that a problem is imminent. And the first is something you check every day -- your shower and Tapware. Have you noticed that your hot water has grown colder or hotter than it used to? This could foretell a problem with your unit’s heating element or thermostat which will require a plumber to diagnose. When you inspect the unit itself, check all around for puddles, drips or any sign of a leak. You should also look for cracks or rust on the outside of the tank. If you see either of these, it’s important to have a plumber assess whether the problems can be repaired or if it’s time for replacement. If you have a gas water heater, you should also check the appearance of the burner flame. It should be mostly blue, if it’s mostly yellow or orange, your heating element is burning inefficiently and should be adjusted or replaced.

Here is a Review Mitch Received today from one of our Clients , We Love Good Feedback. "Mitch was punctual. Big plus with contractors to us. He was friendly, professional and did a great job installing our water heater. We also unexpectedly needed an electrician, and in one phone call Mitch had an electrician here within an hour. We were able to have hot water again immediately. The electrician was also friendly and did a great job. The quote was very reasonable and we would highly recommend Mitch from MCS Plumbing Redhead without any hesitation at all." Thank You Carla from Fletcher
