In our previous blog,
“Do-Re-Mi-Fall of leaves”, Bosman plumbing ventured into the vortex of falling leaves and the crisp morning air, checking pipes, gutters, and outlaying storm drain that clog our homes, and helped assess our current drainage system.
With regular compliance, self-checks and assistance of our local plumber system should be in tip-top shape. Although it’s still dry out, the importance of staying on top of any possible plumbing issues is a must. Still, when the weather turns, it’s even more important, especially heavy rain, which can affect your plumbing adversely.
Prevention is better than a problem down the line, so having an experienced Bosman plumber in your back pocket this winter is part of the must-have trend.
During winter, there can be many issues that could arise and here are a few to keep in mind.
Water pressure on pipes, though durable, adverse weather affects all plumbing systems. Heavy waterfall saturates, leaving heavy mud and shifting ground around your pipes. The soil is heavier as it is saturated with canter and can increase the external pressure on your piping.
Shifts in underground pipes are more prominent during heavy rain, and Shifting can cause the pipes to be moved and bent into positions that can cause ruptures.
If the pipes have leaks due to heavy rains, the ruptures can allow debris to enter the lines causing blockage and bends in pipes. Tree roots grow and expand during heavy rainfall and can shift with the mud sludge and cause additional blockage and ruptures.
Flooding is a severe problem but avoidable.
Call Bosman Plumbing for an immediate call-out should you suspect any blockage, backup, or broken pipes in your system. Even better, catching any problems early would avoid more significant issues.

As a parent, nothing shouts autumn-like Winter school uniforms, complaints about how it’s still night-time outside and school request for fallen leaves. Our little artist proudly displays their leaf chickens and brown-toned squiggles. As the season changes and our toes start curling on the cold bathroom floor, we prepare for all things frosty and wet.
With Cape Town expecting a decent winter rainfall this year, it might be a good time to consider a rainwater catchment container. If you have a catchment container installed, have you checked its health, microbe build up in your empty tank or looked at its fixtures and fitting? Make sure all points are open and still structurally sound.
How about that short winter checklist? It should be ingrained like the song; gutters and pipes and storm drain clogs, firewood and hot chocolate too.
As winter approaches, it’s time to check those exterior drains, pipes and gutters and even have a quick walk around checking local storm drains. A quick call or email to your local municipality will help them assess and clear external storm drains in your area, not just helping you but your neighbours and community.

Hot cross buns, Easter egg hunts, and long weekends with family and friends seem like an eternity ago. Every day life returns, and with that last little sneaky hidden caramel filled egg we set aside, our Easter mini-holiday is over, and it’s time to get down and dirty with the little things in life, those annoying chores, checks and adulting.
As autumn approaches and the windy Cape sets off another car alarm in the middle of the night, John, Harry, and Sally start gearing up for the fantastic runaway leaf race. Ladders secured, leaf blowers at the ready, we set out on our annual “pick them up” and compost.
As winter approaches, pipes, gutters, and outlying storm drain clog with autumn debris. Keep exterior drains free from waste by installing leaf catchers on out-going open pipes and gutters, as well as review your external storm drains for build-up. A quick call or email to your local municipality will help them assess, and clear exterior storm drains in your area, not just helping you but your neighbours and community.
Don’t forget our handy plumbing heroes.

“The Easter eggs symbolize our ability to break out of the hardened, protective shell we’ve surrounded ourselves with that limits our thoughts and beliefs. As we break open our hearts and minds, we discover a transformation into new, life-enhancing thoughts and ideas.
