Here are some DIY Tips for Handling Minor Plumbing Emergencies
Remember, while these tips can be helpful for minor issues, more significant problems and anything involving gas appliances should be handled by a qualified professional. Always prioritize safety and don’t hesitate to call a professional if you’re unsure or uncomfortable with a particular plumbing task.
Clean the showerhead: Mineral buildup can block the holes in the showerhead, reducing water pressure. Soak the showerhead in a vinegar solution to dissolve the deposits.
- Turn off the water supply to the faucet.
- Remove the faucet handle and check the washer and O-ring inside. Replacing a worn-out washer or O-ring can often fix a dripping faucet.
Check the float and the flapper inside the toilet tank. Adjust the float if the water level is too high. If the flapper is not sealing properly, it may need to be cleaned or replaced.
- If you suspect a pipe is frozen, gently warm it with a hair dryer, starting from the faucet end and moving back toward the coldest section.
- Keep the faucet open slightly to allow water to flow and relieve pressure.
- For a temporary fix, use plumber’s tape or epoxy putty to seal small leaks until a permanent repair can be made.
- Always turn off the water supply to the affected pipe before attempting any repairs.
Use a plunger specifically designed for sinks (a cup plunger) to try and dislodge any blockages. If the clog persists, you can use a plumber’s snake to reach deeper into the drain. Carefully insert the snake into the drain and turn it to catch and pull out debris. This can be particularly effective for hair clogs in bathroom sinks or tubs. Remember to clean the drain stopper regularly, as hair and soap scum can accumulate there, causing slow drainage.
Clogged Drains and Toilets
Use a plunger: A plunger can often dislodge clogs in sinks, toilets, and showers. Make sure you’re using the correct type of plunger for the job—a flange plunger for toilets and a cup plunger for sinks and baths—to increase your chances of clearing the blockage.
For best results, create a tight seal and use firm, even pressure when plunging. If the blockage persists, try adding hot water to help loosen the clog before plunging again.

Camilla Smith
Great customer service From the initial telephone conversation with Rachel, I felt in safe hands with 0800 Homefix. Rachel arranged for an engineer to inspect the problems I was having with my faulty boiler, Rachel arranged for an engineer to come out that day which was brilliant. The customer service was brilliant from the start to finish, I highly recommend 0800 Homefix. Thank you again.

Customer in Wokingham
Following on from a new central heating system installed by 0800 Homefix there was a lot of dust throughout the property, it was a huge job in fairness we never had central heating before as it was warm air units so the engineers were working in every room running pipes and hanging radiators. 0800 Homefix kindly facilitated a professional deep clean following on from the works at no extra cost. Very thoughtful and professional. The house is now spotless. Would highly recommend.

Customer in Farnham
Leak fixed I called out we fix to investigate a leak that was present in my kitchen. I was reluctant to do so due to the ongoing matters with COVID-19. However, the engineer that turned up to fix the leak was equipped with a face mask, gloves and shoe covers. He also made sure to keep 2 metres distance away from me and my wife at all times. He fixed the leak and kept everything tidy and clean throughout. Would not think twice about recommending!
