Low Water Pressure and Inconsistent Supply
Many Ardmore homes, especially those relying on older water lines or rural connections, can experience low water pressure. This might show up as slow-filling taps, weak shower flow or inconsistent supply throughout the house. Blockages from sediment or mineral build-up are common factors, as is ageing pipework that starts to corrode or leak.
Sometimes the issue is connected to pump systems or external supply problems particular to the area. We troubleshoot and fix these issues, getting your water flow back to what it should be.
Blocked or Slow Draining Toilets and Drains
Blocked drains are a top reason Ardmore locals call us out. Tree roots are a frequent culprit with so many established gardens and properties in the area. Everyday items like wipes, sanitary products, or a buildup of kitchen grease are also common causes, especially in busy households.
Rural properties using septic tanks can see further complications if the system is overloaded. We use specialist equipment to clear drains and pinpoint ongoing issues, helping avoid future blockages and costly damage.
Leaking and Failing Black Plastic Pipes
Many properties around Ardmore, especially those built in the late 20th century, still have original black plastic piping. These pipes are known for becoming brittle over time, leading to persistent leaks or even sudden bursts. Minor leaks can go unnoticed at first, but over months they may cause damage to floors, walls, and insulation.
Our team often works with homeowners to identify the source of moisture, replace sections of compromised pipe, and upgrade to modern alternatives like Dux Secura. We also advise on ways to spot early pipe issues before they turn into bigger repairs.
Outdated Hot Water Cylinders and Sudden Hot Water Loss
A lot of homes in Ardmore still rely on older hot water systems such as the Vulcan Freeloader cylinders. These units are known for eventual breakdowns—anything from lukewarm showers to no hot water at all, usually when you least expect it. Ageing tanks may also leak or waste energy, pushing up your power bills over time.
We regularly handle urgent replacements with reliable, warranty-backed cylinders like Rheem Stellar, giving you more efficient and longer-lasting hot water. Our team can check your hot water setup, suggest improvements, and install new systems with minimal disruption.
