Can you turn the water off in your Strathfield South home?
In a burst pipe, the first thing you need is the main tap at the water meter. In many older homes it hasn't been touched in years and has seized, or it turns but doesn't fully stop the water. Try yours gently now, while nothing is wrong. If it won't turn or won't shut off, a plumber Strathfield South homes call will check whether it's Sydney Water's to replace or yours, and can fit a separate isolation valve on your side of the meter so you can stop a flood yourself.
Plumber Strathfield South work on galvanised pipe
The post-war and mid-century homes were plumbed in galvanised steel, and by now much of it has closed up with rust. Pressure drops, water runs brown first thing in the morning, and joints weep inside walls. A plumber Strathfield South owners book tests the supply and prices replacement in stages, worst sections first.
Hot water at the end of its life
Many homes here are on a storage hot water system that's past ten years old. A rumbling tank, rust at the base, a relief valve that never stops dripping or showers going cold early are the signs. We test the unit and price a repair and a replacement side by side, and a plumber Strathfield South households book for hot water takes the old unit away.
Small apartment blocks on the main roads
Along the main roads, the small blocks share stacks and risers, so a leak in one unit often shows up in another. As a plumber Strathfield South strata managers can call, we work out which lot or pipe it's coming from before anything is opened, then send an invoice split by lot and common property.
Drainage repairs
Clay sewer lines under the older homes let roots in at the joints, and some have sagged or cracked as the ground has moved. A plumber Strathfield South homes call for a blocked drain gets the camera first, then the jetter, and sees the footage. If the pipe is cracked, we price relining by our partner relining team.
Taps, toilets and leaks
Dripping taps, running cisterns and leaks under vanities waste water and add up on the bill. A plumber Strathfield South homes book can clear the list in one visit, and hidden leaks get found with pressure testing and thermal imaging before anything is opened.
Urgent calls
For a burst pipe, shut the water off at the meter if the tap works, and call our 24/7 line. The same applies to a gas smell or sewage coming up through a floor waste. A plumber Strathfield South residents ring after hours gets help isolating the problem and an honest time for the drive.
