What is a tempering valve and why do I need one?
A tempering valve mixes hot and cold water to ensure safe water temperatures at outlets like taps and showers. It's a safety requirement in many areas to prevent scalding, especially in homes with children or elderly occupants. The valve keeps water at around 50°C, even if your hot water system is set much higher. If your water is coming out too hot or too cold, a faulty tempering valve could be the issue.
How do I shut off my home's main water supply?
To shut off the main water supply, locate your water meter — typically found at the front boundary of your property or near the street. Turn the isolation tap or stop valve clockwise (to the right) until fully closed. This stops water flowing into your home. Knowing this location is important during emergencies like burst pipes. In units or townhouses, the main shut-off valve is often inside a service cupboard or near the laundry.
What causes water to back up in my sink?
Water backing up in your sink usually means a partial or full blockage in the waste pipe. This is often caused by grease, food scraps, soap residue or foreign objects lodged in the plumbing. If multiple sinks are affected, the blockage may be in the main drain line. Clearing it may require a plunger, plumber’s snake or professional jetting. Ignoring the issue can lead to overflows, pipe damage or even hidden leaks.
Can tree roots damage my pipes?
Yes, tree roots are a major cause of underground pipe damage. Roots naturally seek out moisture and can enter small cracks or joints in older pipes. Over time, they grow inside the pipe, restricting flow or causing blockages. Clay pipes and older systems are especially vulnerable. CCTV drain inspections can identify root intrusion, and high-pressure water jetting or root cutting tools can remove them. In serious cases, pipe replacement may be required.
