Emergency toilet plumbing company in Geelong AU? How to solder a leaky pipe: If you need to solder a fitting while water from a leak is dripping out of the pipe, here’s an old plumber’s trick that’ll get you outta trouble. Grab a piece of white bread and shove it down as far as you can inside the pipe. The bread will stop the leak while you solder the fitting and will then (eventually) dissolve inside the pipe.
Before you go to bed, if the temperature is forecasted to dip below freezing, turn on a faucet with pipes running along an exterior wall for a slow drip. This keeps the water flowing, which reduces the risk of freezing. It also protects against burst pipes if the water does freeze, because it prevents pressure from building up between the faucet and an ice formation.
Having an emergency with any gas appliance is dangerous and life threatening. If you think you have a gas leak in your house, we first recommend calling your local fire department to make sure there are no health hazards. Once the fire department has been called, and your house has been cleared, we can come to fix up any mess. Our team can conduct carbon monoxide testing and make sure all the gas connections in your house are properly fixed. Having a gas leak is no joke and we take the matter seriously.

Don’t pour grease down the drain: After cooking a sizzling pan of bacon, the worst thing you could do to your pipes is to pour that grease down the drain. Why? Because the fat from the grease will coat the pipes and build up over time, which will eventually cause a huge clog—potentially both at home and in city-owned pipes.
