Leaks you can check for yourself
A few minutes of checking can catch a leak before it does damage. Look under the kitchen and bathroom sinks for damp or drips. Check the base of the hot water tank for rust or water. Listen for a cistern refilling when nobody has used the toilet. Then read the water meter at night and again in the morning with nothing running: if it has moved, water is escaping somewhere. A plumber Prospect homes call from us can find it with pressure testing and thermal imaging.
Plumber Prospect work on galvanised pipe
The older brick homes were plumbed in galvanised steel, and rust has been narrowing it from the inside for decades. The shower weakens when another tap runs, the first water of the day can look brown, and joints begin to weep inside walls. A plumber Prospect owners book tests the supply and prices the worst runs first, so the work can be spread out.
Hot water replacements in Prospect homes
In post-war houses, the hot water system has usually been replaced at least once, and the current one may be due. Rust at the base, a pressure relief valve that drips all day, or a tank that rumbles as it heats are the signs. We test it and price a repair and a replacement side by side, sized for the household. A plumber Prospect households call for hot water takes the old unit away.
Drains on established lots
Clay sewer lines under established gardens let roots in at the joints, and the rough inside of old pipe catches fat and wipes. A plumber Prospect homes book for a blocked drain gets the camera first, then the jetter. If the line is cracked, relining by our partner relining team repairs it from inside, so the garden stays put.
Toilets that keep running
A cistern that runs on after every flush, or refills by itself in the night, wastes water around the clock and shows up on the bill. Usually it's a worn inlet or outlet valve. A plumber Prospect homes call can replace it on the first visit and check the other toilets while we're there.
Fibro in older homes
If your home has fibro sheeting from before 1990, tell us when you book. We check before any cutting or drilling and plan the route to the pipe around it. A plumber Prospect fibro owners call won't disturb the sheeting without talking to you first.
Booking from Earlwood
It's a 40 to 60 minute run, so we plan ahead: we ask what's wrong when you book and bring the likely parts, and we'll suggest adding any small jobs to the same trip. For an overflow or a burst pipe, ring the 24/7 line, and a plumber Prospect residents call will tell you honestly how long we'll be.
