Question 2

What should I do if I smell gas leaks?

If you suspect a gas leak in your house, turn off the gas main and all gas appliances. Refrain from using lighters or any electrical appliance. For your safety, call a licensed gas fitter to inspect the suspected leak and fix the issue.

Question 3

Why is my hot water unit not heating?

Accepted Answer

Most hot water systems do not work properly when there is a malfunction or loose connection. Calling a plumber or a hot water specialist is recommended to help you test the unit and troubleshoot potential problems.

Question 4

I notice discolouration in my hot water supply. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Water discolouration is usually a cause of deteriorating tanks and corroded pipes. If your water heater supplies cloudy or discoloured water, call an authorised plumber to know whether you need to drain the tank or replace the pipes.

Question 5

What do I do if my sink is slowly draining?

There might be a clogging issue to address if your sink is slowly draining. Call a local plumber to assess the problem and provide effective solutions. Expert plumbers use advanced tools to remove blockages.

Question 6

Why is my toilet overflowing?

Accepted Answer

Toilets that overflow are usually caused by broken seals on the valve and blockage issues. If the problem recurs, seek expert assistance. A plumber will inspect the fixture and check for worn components that need replacing.

Question 7

How do I prevent burst pipes?

Accepted Answer

Keeping the temperature at above 10 degrees, caulking any cracks and holes near the pipes and leaving the cabinet doors open will help heat flow seamlessly throughout the property.

Question 8

What do I need to consider before installing a septic tank?

Your land property and distance from the waterways are some things to consider when installing a septic tank. For properties with dams or waterways nearby, septic tanks are often not required. Consult with your local council to confirm requirements.

Question 9

How often should I have my AWTS professionally serviced?

The NSW Health Department and local councils require quarterly servicing for all AWTS installed. Regular maintenance will detect early signs of damage and prevent issues from occurring. If you need help with AWTS maintenance, call a licensed plumber to do the job.
