5 Common Plumbing Issues in Singapore and How to Fix Them
Plumbing problems are a nuisance in any home. In Singapore's high-rise buildings and landed properties, issues like leaks and chokes can escalate quickly if not addressed. Zekra Engineering Pte Ltd offers fast and reliable plumbing services to keep your home dry and functional.
The Most Common Plumbing Problems
1. Leaking Taps and Pipes
A dripping tap wastes water and increases your utility bill. Often caused by worn-out washers or O-rings, this is a simple fix for a professional plumber.
2. Clogged Drains
Hair, soap scum, and food debris can block sinks and floor traps. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners as they can damage pipes. Instead, call us for safe and thorough clearing.
3. Running Toilet
A toilet that keeps running wastes hundreds of litres daily. The issue is usually a faulty flapper or fill valve.
4. Low Water Pressure
This can be due to pipe corrosion, hidden leaks, or municipal supply issues. We diagnose the cause and restore proper pressure.
5. Water Heater Malfunction
No hot water? It could be a faulty heating element, thermostat, or a tripped circuit. We repair or replace water heaters of all brands.
Why Plumbing Maintenance Matters
- Prevents water damage to ceilings and walls
