Preventing blockages in your kitchen sink starts with good habits. Avoid pouring grease, oil, or food scraps down the drain. These substances solidify and stick to pipe walls, eventually causing clogs. Use sink strainers to catch debris and empty them into the bin. Run hot water after using the sink to help flush any residue through the system. Periodically cleaning the drain with a natural solution, like baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water, can also help break down minor build-up. If your sink drains slowly or emits bad smells, it may be time for a professional clean-out or inspection.

Yes, even small leaks in the bathroom can cause significant damage over time if left untreated. Water from leaking taps, pipes, or poorly sealed fixtures can seep into flooring, walls, or cabinetry, leading to warping, rot, and mould. Hidden leaks behind walls or under tiles are particularly problematic, as they may go unnoticed until damage becomes extensive. Signs to watch for include damp or discoloured surfaces, soft spots in flooring, peeling paint, or a persistent musty odour. Early detection and prompt repair by a licensed plumber can prevent expensive restoration work and help maintain a healthy indoor environment.

To locate hidden leaks, plumbers use advanced tools such as thermal imaging cameras, acoustic sensors, and moisture metres. These non-invasive devices detect temperature changes, sound vibrations, or elevated moisture levels within walls and ceilings. Once the leak is pinpointed, minimal access points are created for inspection and repair. Early detection helps avoid major structural damage and keeps repair costs low. Visual signs like bubbling paint, wet patches, or discolouration often indicate where to begin the search. Professional leak detection ensures accuracy and avoids unnecessary guesswork or demolition. If you suspect a leak, it’s best to have the area assessed quickly.
