A drip under the sink or a damp patch on a wall rarely fixes itself. Left alone, small leaks soften floors, stain ceilings and push up bills. If you’re in Kenmare or nearby, tell us what you’ve noticed and we’ll connect you with a local plumber who can look at it.
Leaks and repairs a plumber can sort
- Dripping or stiff taps and mixers
- Toilets that keep running or leak at the base
- Leaking pipes, joints, radiators and valves
- Hidden leaks in floors, walls and ceilings
- Weak water pressure, banging pipes or air in the system
- Pipes that have split after freezing
Clues to a hidden leak
- The water meter or pump keeps working with every tap off
- Damp patches, mould or lifting paint with no obvious cause
- A pump that cuts in more often than it used to
- The sound of water when nothing is running
Period buildings and country houses
Kenmare has many older buildings in the town centre, and the surrounding area has farmhouses and holiday homes with older or mixed pipework. Older pipes, tired joints and fittings that have been added over the years are common. A good plumber will say what’s worth repairing now and what’s worth replacing.
Private water supplies
Many homes outside Kenmare take their water from a private well or group scheme with a pump and pressure vessel. If you have one, say so when you get in touch, as not every plumber works on them.
