Common Plumbing Problems in Research
Dampness Issues?
Many homes in the area have poorly ventilated attics or crawl spaces due to inadequate insulation. This leads to condensation on walls and ceilings, causing dampness.
Leaking Gutters?
The high rainfall in Research means gutters are prone to damage from branches breaking or old gutter materials deteriorating. Regular cleaning helps prevent water accumulation.
Burst Water Tanks?
Older homes with galvanised steel tanks and inadequate tank protection against vandalism or animal attack can experience bursting due to rising water levels.
From Our Plumbers
"On blocked drains in Research, we typically find tree root intrusion due to older clay pipes in the area. Our CCTV drain camera usually pinpoints the exact location within 15 minutes, so our plumbers can give you an accurate quote before starting any work."
