* More outdoor fun means more dirty clothes. Be sure to check your washing machine hoses for bulges, leaks or cracks and be sure to remove the dryer lint regularly. Remember washing machine hoses should be replaced approximately every three years.

* Move your washing machine at least 10cm away from the wall to prevent the hose from kinking and getting damaged. Never leave your home whilst your washer is running.

* Be careful what you put down your kitchen disposal after cooking. Most incinerators are not equipped to handle stringy foods. Fats and cooking oils can also block the pipes. Pasta, rice and eggshells should also be avoided.  Always run cold water before you put anything down the sink to flush it through.

* One of the best home tips for saving money and energy whilst you are on holidays is to turn down the temperature of your hot water system and turn up the temperature of your fridge.

* The best defense to ensure your plumbing systems are running properly is to schedule annual maintenance inspections and keep on top of your systems before it's too late or when you need them most.

* The Network Plumbing membership program is designed to reward you for using our services with discounted pricing as well as giving you peace of mind on your plumbing and drainage. Included in the membership is a periodic inspection of your sewer drainage, taps & toilets and hot water system. Potential problems are spotted before they cause trouble. That alone, saves you money. If during the inspection we find any repairs that need to be done, they will be offered to you at a special discounted rate.  If you would like to find out more about becoming a member, please contact the office
