Plumbing Problems Unplugged

From blocked drains to septic systems, find clear answers to your plumbing queries here.

My shower drain keeps blocking every few months. Can you find out why instead of just clearing it temporarily?

Absolutely. For recurring blocked drains, we use CCTV drain cameras to inspect the pipes, find the actual cause (like tree roots, pipe damage or build-up), and provide long-term solutions, not just a quick fix.

We're renovating and want to move our gas cooktop. How do you ensure the new connection is safe?

Safety is paramount with gas fitting. Our licensed gas fitters perform all work to strict Australian standards, including proper pipework, connections, ventilation checks and mandatory leak testing after installation for your complete peace of mind.

We have an AWTS septic system that needs regular servicing by law. Is that something you manage?

Yes, we provide scheduled maintenance for all septic systems, including the legally required quarterly servicing for modern Aerated Wastewater Treatment Systems (AWTS), ensuring they function correctly and remain council compliant.

We seem to run out of hot water much faster than we used to. What could be the issue?

It could be a faulty thermostat, sediment build-up, or your system might be nearing the end of its life. In some older systems, briefly releasing the pressure relief valve can help flush out sediment, just be sure it’s safe to do so.

We’re big on client education and can show you easy maintenance tips to help keep things running smoothly. If a replacement is needed, we’ll recommend a reliable hot water system and take care of supply and installation too.

Our backyard gets waterlogged near the house when it pours. Can you install proper drainage?

Yes, we handle complex stormwater drainage issues. This often involves excavation & earthworks to install drainage pits, pipes or trenching to correctly channel water away from your foundations and prevent pooling or property damage.
