General Questions
Plumbers replace, repair, and maintain pipes, fixtures, and water heaters, among other things, in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Commercial and residential properties are both their speciality.
Hydrogen, sulfur, and bacteria all combine to cause foul-smelling water. In the water that your appliances use, bacteria and sulfur are present naturally, and they will not make you sick. As a result of the reaction between the magnesium rod in your water heater tank and the sulfur and bacteria in the water, hydrogen is formed, which leads to the odour. Your water heater’s water should be fresh enough to drink, so you need to purify the water.
To work as a plumber in most Irish cities, you need a plumbing license. To begin with, find out if he has a license. If he hasn’t worked in the plumbing industry for a while, you could ask if he has served the neighbourhood.
You must calla plumber if you sense an obstruction in your main drain system. You might even explode if the bug is serious.
If it has been a while since you replaced your plumbing, consider replacing the pipes. Make sure the water pipes are drained properly if any blockages were found.
EMERGENCY QUESTIONS
You can check if you suspect there might be a leak in your home easily. You should go outside and measure your water level. You should make sure there is no water usage for a few hours, once you check the meter again (it’s probably easiest to check this at night and the next morning). Cork Plumber will take care of the leak right away if the level has changed.
Yes! More than simply increasing in size as the leakages (see above), leaks can cause damage to your home as well. There are several other benefits associated with leak detection and repair, including:
- The amount of water lost was reduced or eliminated.
- Less possibility of leaks resulting in damage.
- Emergency repairs are reduced
- Water and pressure are reduced as a result.
Yes. The corrosion that results from water leaking from your pipes can eventually cause even the smallest leak or spill to become so large that it can damage your home.
It is a simple matter to clean faucets with a soft cloth and a damp cloth. The manufacturer of the faucets that you have might have recommended cleaning solutions for deeper stains if you just installed them. You should never use abrasive cleaners or pads to remove your faucet’s finish.
The faucet repair option is a perfect solution if you can restore the shine on the faucet. Replacement parts may be more difficult to replace if your faucet is too badly corroded or old to be replaced. However, it may be easier and perhaps cheaper to just get a new faucet.

SERVICES INFO
Depending on the level of subsurface drainage, the depth of the drainage system, the depth of the basement, and other factors, sump pumps can require different horsepower (the 3/4 hp pump is most common).
Without knowing exactly what’s going on in your home, it’s hard to say what your needs are. You can get an estimate of your water usage (gallons per minute) by considering how much water your family uses daily – how long are your showers? What’s the frequency of your dishwasher or washing machine use? Are they ever used at the same time? If you want a tankless water heater that meets your family’s needs, contact Len The Plumber to install one that meets your rough estimate of how much water you consume.
Water enters your home at a much lower temperature when it gets cold out. Consequently, the inbound cold water cools down the hot water in your tank a significant amount more. Also, if your water heater is not performing as well as it could be due to sediment build-up in its tank.
