Frequently Asked Questions

A Closer Look at the Plumbing We Do

General Plumbing and Gas

Dripping taps, running toilets, poor water pressure, leaking pipes and appliance connections. Left alone, a slow leak will rot a floor or add a lot to a water bill.

Gas appliance connections, gas leak detection and repairs to gas lines all need a licensed gasfitter. We also carry out plumbing inspections when you want the condition of a property's pipework checked before you buy or renovate.

Drainage, Blocked Drains and Sewer Work

Most blocked drains are a symptom. Tree roots find a cracked joint, a section of old clay pipe drops out of line, or a stormwater run was never laid with enough fall.

We clear the line, camera it, locate any fault and repair or replace that section. Sewer replacements, stormwater drainage and new connections are regular work, and the excavation is part of the same job.

Hot Water Systems

A thermostat, element or valve fault means the unit has years left in it. A failed tank does not. Knowing which one you have before you spend anything is the useful part.

We repair and replace hot water systems, and explain what each option costs and how long a replacement should last so you can make the call.

Renovation Plumbing for Bathrooms, Kitchens and Laundries

Waste and water lines have to land exactly where the new layout puts them, falls have to be right before waterproofing goes down, and the rough-in has to be finished before the tiler starts.

We work through the layout with you and the builder, set out the pipework for your chosen fixtures, and return for the fit off once the room is tiled. Extensions are the same process at a larger scale.

Roof Plumbing, Gutters and Stormwater

Rusted gutters, undersized downpipes and stormwater that was never connected properly all end the same way, with water running down a wall or pooling against the footings.

We replace gutters and downpipes, connect stormwater into the legal point of discharge, and trace roof leaks back to the source.

Emergency Plumbing, Any Hour

Burst pipes, sewers backing up into a shower and hot water units emptying through a wall all get worse by the hour. The first job is stopping the water, then finding what failed, then repairing it properly.

We are available 24 hours across the eastern suburbs. Call, describe what you are seeing, and we will tell you what to shut off and when we can be there.
