Plumbing issues are a part of everyday life, but knowing when to fix a small problem yourself — and when to call in an expert — can save you time, stress, and money.
At David A. Farrer, we’ve been helping homeowners and businesses across Lancaster, Morecambe, and the surrounding areas with reliable plumbing solutions for decades.
Here are five common plumbing problems we see — and what you should do if you spot them.
1. Dripping Taps
A dripping tap might seem like a small annoyance, but it can waste a surprising amount of water over time.
If a quick washer replacement doesn’t fix the issue, it could point to a deeper problem inside the tap or pipework. We’re here to help if it persists.
2. Low Water Pressure
Struggling with a weak shower or slow-filling sinks? Low water pressure can be caused by pipe blockages, leaks, or issues with your water supply.
A professional plumber can diagnose the cause and restore strong, steady pressure.
3. Blocked Drains
Blocked sinks, showers, or toilets are a common headache. While small clogs can sometimes be cleared with basic tools, persistent blockages need expert attention to avoid damaging your pipes.
4. Boiler Problems
No hot water or heating? Strange noises from your boiler?
It could be anything from low pressure to a mechanical fault. Our Gas Safe registered engineers can safely diagnose and repair boiler issues across Lancaster, Morecambe, and surrounding towns.
5. Burst Pipes
Burst pipes can cause serious water damage if not dealt with quickly.
If you spot a sudden leak, shut off your water supply immediately and call a plumber — fast action can prevent major repair costs.
