Should I install an isolation valve?
We always recommend people to install isolation switches when given the chance, as they are important in preventing leaks and bursts from damaging your home if they occur. An isolation switch, often seen supporting flexihoses, can isolate a water supply whenever you wish to prevent water from flowing through a particular system.
How can I fix leaking or stiff taps?
First, you should turn off the water supply. If you feel confident, you can attempt to fix the issue yourself by following online tutorials or by examining the parts of the tap that might be damaged. However, there is always a risk of creating further damage.
Therefore, we recommend to call a plumber for issues like this.
I suddenly have a high water bill, what can I do?
A high water bill is often a sign of a water leak. You should check your house's taps, flexihoses, and toilets for any drips, unusual smells/sounds, or running water. If you can't find anything, try performing a water meter test. If necessary, call a plumber.

What should I do if I can smell gas?
You should immediately call a gas fitter or emergency services 000 if necessary.
Evacuate the premises and warn your neighbors if you feel it is necessary.
