There are numerous plumbing mishaps that are waiting to happen in your house without any warning. Bursts and leaks are the most common and well known of all plumbing issues. Leaks can occur at any time, and in any part of the plumbing system that services your house. In severe cold weather leaks and bursts are at their most regular, as the freezing temperatures cause any un-insulated pipe work to freeze. They say prevention is better than a cure, so when the cold weather approaches get in touch with a local plumber so he or she can protect any bared pipe work.

One of the main areas for leakages is in the loft or attic, where the temperature can drop to well beneath freezing. A burst in the loft can have catastrophic consequences for the rooms that are directly below the burst pipe. The plaster work can become soaking and in a great deal of cases the actual ceiling will cave in. To prevent this happening you can protect the pipe work yourself, for the cost of the insulation and an hour of your time you will be able to avoid a lot of misery and damage to your personal things. GA plumbers in Liverpool use the pre formed poly pipe lagging, which is obtainable from any good DIY shops or plumbers merchants. GA plumbers Liverpool also suggest that you insulate your pipe work ahead of the cold weather kicks in, for the time and work concerned it could save you an absolute fortune.

Different plumbing problems that happen around the home are frustrating leaks and drips. People tend to overlook tiny problems like drips because they don't seem that great of a issue at the time. It is also advisable to cure any leakages as soon as you observe them. A little seep over time can turn into a huge issue; I once traveled to a property, for a reported seep on the immersion heater. After I had repaired the seep I noticed that the floor boards and trusses below the tank where rotten. This had become a major problem for the customer as the weight of the tank was just supported by the rotted wood work and was in real danger of falling through in to the room below. Keep in mind the weight of the tank and the fact it would be full of near boiling water, if it came down through the ceiling in to the room beneath. Any individual directly beneath the tank would be in peril of severe injury or scolding. And all this from a little leak that was left unattended for a duration of time, by the owner of the place. Fortunately there was only financial damage, but again this could have been avoided.
