Emergency Plumbing Service West Ipswich - What To dO When Tap Water Turns Brown?

14/9/2018

Clean water is essential for our daily use. But what should you do when tap water turns brown? Of course, this is not potable water and there are several reasons why such discolouration happens especially when you commonly know the water quality in your area.

Brown flakes in water

If you happen to see brown flaskes from the tap while the water quality is still clear, it may be because of corrosion in the pipe in the pipeline. These brown chips that are mixing the water are coming from them.

Rusty water

When water appears yellowish or rusty, it could be that there is an ongoing maintenance. It could also happen when the main pipes burst, fire hydrant testing, or natural causes. This water change goes out on its own and your water quality will be back to its old self so there is nothing to worry about.

What should you do when the water coming out from your tap turns brown?

Do some inspections. Check if the discoloured water is coming only from one tap or to all your faucets. Also, find out if your neighbours are also experiencing the same water issue or only your house is having this water problem.

If your home is not the only one affected by this water problem, then there may be an ongoing water maintenance happening in your area. If your house is the only one having water problems, there is probably something wrong with your water pipes. Call an emergency plumbing service West Ipswich right away, especially if the quality of water coming out from the taps are not safe to use.
