Common Plumbing Problems in Spence
Leaky Basements?
Many homes in the area have ageing concrete or brickwork foundations, leading to damp issues and water seepage into basements. We often find water trapped behind walls and under floors.
Burst Water Tanks?
The existing terracotta tanks in this suburb are prone to bursting due to age-related cracks and corrosion. Regular inspections help identify the issue before it causes significant damage.
Faulty Sump Pumps?
Older homes with inadequate sump pumps or poorly installed ones often fail, leading to water accumulation and potential foundation damage. We recommend upgrading to a reliable pump system for maintena potential issues before they become costly repairs.
