Common Plumbing Problems in Kensington
Leaky Basements?
Many homes in the area have poorly constructed basements from the 1990s. We often find cracked render, loose tiling and damp prone to leaks through these aged foundations.
Burst Taps?
The high rainfall in Kensington results in frequent root intrusions into galvanised steel pipes, particularly near trees with dense foliage. This causes burst taps due to excessive pressure when water.
Frozen Pipes?
Older homes without insulated services often freeze during cold snaps, causing bursts of hot water in toilets and shower basins. We frequently need to replace faulty thermostats or pipe insulation to.
