Plumber Greystanes work on copper pipes
Homes of this era were plumbed in copper, and copper from that period is now old enough to develop pinhole leaks. They usually start small, at bends and joints, and show up as a damp patch, a stain on a ceiling or a water bill that creeps up. A plumber Greystanes homes call for a leak should find it with testing before opening a wall. We pressure test the lines, listen for escaping water and use thermal imaging, then open only what's needed.
If one section has pinholed, the pipe either side is often the same age. We check it while we're there and tell you honestly whether a spot repair or a longer section makes more sense.
Leaks under the slab
Many homes of this era sit on concrete slabs, with copper pipes running through or under them. A pinhole under the slab shows up as a warm patch on the floor, cracked tiles, or the sound of running water with every tap off. A plumber Greystanes slab homes call should find it with acoustic listening and pressure testing before any concrete is broken. For a plumber, Greystanes slab leaks are sometimes best fixed by running a new pipe around the slab instead of through it.
Original hot water systems
Many Greystanes homes are still running the hot water system they were built with, or its first replacement. Storage tanks typically last 8 to 12 years and instant gas units 12 to 15, so plenty are due. When yours leaks from the base or runs out early, we test it and price a repair and a replacement side by side. As a plumber Greystanes families can book for hot water, we size the new unit for the household, take the old one away and leave the warranty paperwork.
Taps, cisterns and everyday wear
Family homes wear out the small things first: dripping mixers, running cisterns, leaking hoses under sinks and a laundry tap that won't shut off. For a plumber, Greystanes homes usually turn up a short list of these, so it's worth booking them together and getting them done in one visit.
Blocked drains
Wipes, grease and roots from established gardens are the usual causes. We camera the line, clear it with a jetter and show you the result. See blocked drains in Greystanes for more.
