Older homes in Wangaratta, Benalla, and surrounding areas often capture attention with their charm, classic design, and rich history. However, with this character comes a set of common plumbing challenges that homeowners need to be aware of.
At Newton Plumbing Services, we regularly help homeowners tackle these age-related plumbing issues to keep their homes running smoothly and efficiently. Here are the top five problems you might face — and how we can help:
1. Aging Pipes
Older homes may have galvanized steel or copper pipes that have corroded over time, leading to leaks, discoloured water, and reduced water flow.
Our Solution:
We provide professional pipe inspections and replacement services, using modern materials like PVC or PEX for a long-lasting, reliable plumbing system.
2. Blocked or Slow Drains
Years of debris build-up — including grease, soap, and hair — can restrict water flow, causing frustratingly slow drains or frequent blockages.
Our Solution:
Our team uses high-pressure water jetting and camera inspections to locate and clear blockages safely, ensuring your drains flow freely again.
3. Leaky Taps & Fixtures
Outdated taps, valves, and fittings often wear out, leading to constant drips that waste water and increase your bills.
Our Solution:
Newton Plumbing Services can repair or replace your old fixtures with modern, water-efficient options that look great and perform even better.
4. Low Water Pressure
Low water pressure can result from corroded pipes, sediment in hot water systems, or old pressure regulators.
Our Solution:
We diagnose and fix the underlying causes of low water pressure, ensuring a consistent and satisfying flow throughout your home.
5. Outdated Hot Water Systems
Older hot water units are typically inefficient and prone to faults, leading to poor performance and higher energy costs.
Our Solution:
We supply and install new, energy-efficient hot water systems tailored to your household needs — ensuring hot water is always on hand.
