Here are Top 8 Plumbing Myths you should ignore
You can flush baby wipes or face wipes
This is one of the common myths, where people think flushing any object through the drainpipe might get it directly to the drainage system, flush their baby wipes or waste garbage and regret it later when it blocks the drain pipeline. If there are kids around, it’s common for kids to flush their toys or whatever they could get in hand. Make sure to not flush any heavy object through the drainpipe, for now it may flush yet still it might block the remaining flow from the top.
Low Water Pressure is Common
Whenever you have low water pressure, do not ignore it. Low water pressure may be due to a leak in your water pipeline or blockage within the pipeline. It’s always important to check water pressure level, water pressure level impacts the heating system within your home, water flow, and at some point, there won’t be any water if you haven’t informed the ESBAH Plumbers about water pressure level. The team at ESBAH Plumbers will help you to understand the problem behind the low water pressure level and provide a fast solution
Drain Pipes are working properly as the water is flowing without blockage
We recommend that our clients have an inspection check now and then in their pipeline, central heating system, and components within the home that can become the cause of plumbing problems. As most of you know, when the water flows smoothly, our mentality makes us feel the drain pipeline is good.
Here are warning stages before your drain pipe gets completely clogged
- Water Drains Slowly
- A bad odour that comes through the drain pipe
- If your house receives more Hard Water, then the replacement of the drain pipeline is more important, if the drain pipelines haven’t been replaced for ages.

Hard Water is nothing to worry about
It’s a common and dangerous plumbing myth, promoted by household product sellers. Companies that sell certain household products, do make sure it’s customers don’t know the impact caused by Hard Water in Plumbing systems. Hard Water is not good for health and as well as for any household materials that require frequent usage of water.
Here are a few components that are frequently damaged by Hard Water
- Pipeline
- Radiator
- Boiler
- Central Heating System
- Tap & Faucets
There isn’t any household product that can adapt to hard water and last long as said in the Warranty. So repair, servicing, and inspection of components make sure it lives up to the warranty given by the household product companies.

Boiler making sound isn’t a problem
If a plumber says that an unusual sound coming from the boiler isn’t a problem, then red flag the plumber and hire professional local plumbers like ESBAH Emergency Plumbing Services. Don’t take the unusual sounds from the boiler lightly as they might lead to extreme expenses if they aren’t serviced at the starting stage.
Unusual sounds coming from boiler due to

Drain cleaners are safe to use in Clogged Drains
Another one of common advertising myths used by clog drain liquid product companies. These Drain Cleaners can be effective for the time being, which can be used in case of emergency. Yet they do bring a problem along with a solution, these drain cleaners damage the pipeline and even create a crack in the weakest part of the pipeline. These Drain Cleaners act like an acid that clears the pathway in the pipeline, is effective against the clogged substance and affects the pipeline completely. None of the plumbing professionals would recommend the usage of drain cleaners frequently.
The Radiator isn’t heating soon is normal during winter
There isn’t anything normal about the central heating system, boiler, and especially radiator. Every unusual process different from the original way of processing is caused due to a problem within the specific component. If your radiator isn’t heating well during winter, there might be sludge build-up or radiator leak which you might haven’t checked before. These unnoticed plumbing leaks in radiators do reflect during the time of frequent usage, especially during winter.

Leaking Taps isn’t a problem
In a few years, leaking taps in your home might get you a penalty or double the energy bills. The United Kingdom is about to pass a bill that could help save water and provide it to every household. As most parts of the United Kingdom is surrounded by Hard Water, the households in hard water regions are supplied with soft water for drinking purposes. So the unnoticed plumbing leaks in water pipelines and taps have created scarcity in a few parts of hard water regions.
