Getting things ready for Lamb Champs! 🐑

On Thursday, our ESL team was at the Free State Stadium getting everything ready for Saturday’s Lamb Champs event.

We pre-built the custom-built sink table, installed the sink and pipework, connected the water tank outside the tent, and even fitted a small gas geyser on the side to provide hot water.

It might be a temporary setup, but we still made sure it was done properly and ready to handle the weekend.

By Saturday, everything was ready to go. 👊💙

That constant sound of a toilet running... 😩🚽💧

You know the one. That annoying hissing or trickling sound that keeps going long after you have flushed. It might seem like a small problem, but it can be frustrating to listen to — and every minute it keeps running, water is being wasted.

If your toilet keeps running after you flush, don't ignore it.

The cause is often a simple problem inside the toilet tank.

🔍 Check for any of these first:

• A worn or damaged flapper
• A flapper that isn't sealing properly
• A chain that is tangled or too tight
• Water flowing into the overflow pipe
• A faulty fill valve
• A water level that is set too high

💡 Try the food colouring test: Add a few drops of food colouring to the toilet tank and wait 10 minutes without flushing. If colour appears in the bowl, you have a leak.

In many cases, the toilet will run because water is leaking from the tank into the bowl, causing the fill valve to keep refilling the tank.

It may only require an adjustment or replacement part/s. If the toilet keeps running, however, it is best to have it checked.

Hear it running? Don't ignore it.

Stop Flushing These Items 🚽

Your toilet isn't a rubbish bin.

What you flush can travel much further than you think — and items that don't break down properly can get stuck, collect other waste and eventually cause a serious blockage.

🚫 Never flush:
• Wet wipes — even if labelled "flushable"
• Paper towels & facial tissues
• Cotton buds & cotton balls
• Dental floss & hair
• Sanitary pads, tampons & nappies
• Cat litter
• Grease, oils & fats
• Food scraps & household waste

The simple rule to remember is:

P*e. Poo. Toilet paper. That's it.

Everything else belongs in the bin.

A blocked drain can mean more than an inconvenience. It can lead to overflowing toilets, wastewater backing up into your home, unpleasant smells, property damage and an expensive plumbing repair.

If your toilet is flushing slowly, gurgling, backing up or your drains keep blocking, don't ignore the warning signs.

Prevention is always better than a plumbing emergency.

Need help with a blocked drain? ESL Plumbing's experienced maintenance team provides professional drain and blockage services.
