A slow drip or a stain on the ceiling is easy to ignore until the bill arrives. If you’re in Tralee or nearby, tell us what you’ve noticed and we’ll connect you with a local plumber who can find the cause.
Common repairs
- Dripping taps, worn washers and failing mixer cartridges
- Running or leaking toilets and cisterns
- Leaking joints, valves and radiators
- Pipes that have burst or split after freezing
- Poor water pressure and noisy pipes
- Leaks under baths, showers and kitchen sinks
Spotting a leak you can’t see
- Turn off every tap and check whether the water meter still moves
- Look for damp walls, bubbling paint or a musty smell
- Check under sinks and behind toilets for staining
- Listen for running water when the house is quiet
Different houses, different problems
Tralee has older houses in and around the town centre as well as many newer estates. Older homes tend to have tired pipework and fittings, while newer ones can have problems with hidden joints, push-fit connections and poorly supported pipes. A plumber will tell you what’s causing the problem and whether it’s worth repairing or replacing.
Near the coast
Properties out towards Fenit, Blennerville and Castlegregory are more exposed to the weather. Outside taps, pipes in unheated sheds and garages and anything on an exposed wall are worth checking before winter.
