What’s the easiest way to look after a septic tank?
Keeping a septic tank healthy is mostly about consistency. Get it inspected and pumped out every couple of years, depending on usage. A plumber will check the filters, baffles and drainage area to make sure everything’s working as it should.
Avoid pouring chemicals or grease down drains, as they can harm the bacteria that break down waste. Watch for slow drains or bad smells; those are early warning signs of a blockage or overflow.
Regular care helps your system last decades longer and keeps your property free from unpleasant surprises, smells or costly repairs.
Why does my tap water sometimes look cloudy?
Cloudy or milky water usually comes from trapped air or pressure changes within the plumbing system. It’s common after water supply work or during seasonal shifts when pipes expand and contract.
Letting the tap run for a minute can help the air clear out. If it doesn’t, the cause might be mineral build-up or sediment from older pipes or tanks. A plumber can flush the system, check filters and inspect fittings to restore water clarity.
Regular maintenance and cleaning prevent cloudiness from returning and keep your water fresh, safe and pleasant to use every day.
How can I stop tree roots getting into drains?
Older copper or galvanised steel pipes can corrode from the inside out, leading to leaks, rust stains and lower water pressure. If your home still has its original plumbing, replacing it can save money in the long run.
Newer materials like PEX or PVC are longer-lasting and better suited to varying water conditions, especially for properties that rely on tanks or bores. Replacing old pipework also helps improve water quality and flow, making taps, showers and appliances perform more efficiently. It’s a worthwhile upgrade for older homes that need a bit of modern reliability.
