Fixing Leaky Faucets

Leaky faucets can be a frustrating issue, but it's relatively easy to fix. To start, turn off the water supply to the faucet by locating the shut-off valve behind the sink and turning it clockwise.

Fixing Slow Drains

Slow drains can be caused by clogs, grease buildup, or low water pressure. To fix slow drains, try using a drain snake to clear any blockages, or use a chemical drain cleaner if the issue persists.

Preventing Frozen Pipes

Frozen pipes can be a serious issue, especially in Adelaide's cold climate. To prevent frozen pipes, insulate exposed pipes under sinks and faucets, and consider installing freeze-proof faucets.
