Blocked Drains
Sewer blockages are usually caused by tree roots that have found their way into the pipes (broken pipes) or by flushing something down the toilet that it’s not designed for - eg wet wipes or other hygiene products.

With many years of experience, we will talk you through what options are available, with clear communication every step of the way.
Burst Pipes
Burst pipes can be either a small, slow leak or a major breakage of a pipe. If you suspect that you have a leaking pipe somewhere you can turn off all taps and water using appliances in the house and go and check your water meter. If it is still ticking over then it’s likely there’s a leak. Signs of a leak include but are not limited to: Changes in water pressure, water discolouration or odour, water marks on walls, ceiling or flooring, hammering sound within plumbing system or an increased water bill (with no changes to usage). Check for leaks around toilets and taps, all appliances that are connected to plumbing and outside hoses and sprinklers.

If not then rest assured that we have advanced leak detection technology to locate and resolve your issue efficiently.

Thermostatic Mixing Valves
A thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) is a valve that blends hot water with cold water to ensure constant, safe shower and bath outlet temperatures, preventing scalding. Warm water systems are commonly used in hospitals, health care buildings and aged care facilities but they can also be installed in a large range of buildings, including residential apartment blocks, accommodation buildings such as hotels and even hairdressing salons. There are two main types of warm water systems; reticulated and centralised circulatory. These systems are generally installed to reduce the likelihood of scalding, but the reduced temperature can also introduce other risks such as microbial growth. Water within a certain temperature range promotes the development of potentially pathogenic microorganisms, including Legionella, if systems are not designed, installed, managed and maintained with this in mind. We are experienced in and accredited to install and test TMV’s and can provide working with children checks if necessary.
