GENERAL PLUMBING AND UNVENTED TECHNOLOGY
Top Tips
The following tips may help you reduce the risk of a plumbing emergency and could save unnecessary
expense and distress.
- Find out where your stop valve is located on the incoming water supply main and label
it.
- Do you know where other service valves are located? Label them and check from time to time
that they are working correctly.
- It's helpful to know the location of any drain valves. These can be used in an emergency to
empty your water and central heating systems (once the source of heat has been put
out).
- Ensure that the storage system and exposed pipes are properly insulated, particularly in the
roof space or attic.
- In very cold weather take special care to prevent water pipes becoming frozen. If you have a
storage cistern in the roof space, it's a good idea to open the hatch. Heat from the house will help to
keep the cistern from freezing.
- Inspect your cold water storage cistern (tank) regularly and, if it is metal, make sure it is
not corroding. Call in your professional plumber if there is any sign of a problem.
- Check the condition of flexible hosepipes to plumbed-in domestic appliances at regular
intervals.
- Dripping taps or continuously running overflow pipes are a sure sign that your plumbing system
requires maintenance. To avoid them becoming major problems call in the services of your local
professional plumber, who can be found through the CIPHE.
- Have central heating boilers and other heating appliances serviced yearly.
- Make a note of your CIPHE plumber / heating installer's telephone number for future
reference.
