  1. Turn off the gas supply at the meter or cylinder.

  3. Open windows and doors to ventilate the area.
  4. Evacuate everyone from the premises.
  5. Call our emergency gas fitter service for immediate assistance.

Do not attempt to fix a gas leak yourself, as this can be extremely dangerous.

To prevent blocked drains, follow these tips:

  • Avoid disposing of grease, oil, and food scraps down your sink.
  • Use drain strainers to catch hair and debris in bathroom drains.
  • Do not flush items such as wipes, sanitary products, or diapers down the toilet.

How do I know if I have a water leak?

Common signs of a water leak include:

  • Unexplained increases in your water bill
  • Damp patches, mould, or mildew on walls, floors, or ceilings
  • Unusual wet spots in your garden or lawn
  • Lower water pressure than usual
  • A continuously running water meter even when no water is being used

If you suspect a water leak, contact our team to conduct a professional leak detection service.

How often should I have my gas appliances serviced?

It’s recommended to have your gas appliances serviced annually to ensure they are working efficiently and safely. Regular servicing can help identify potential issues before they become major problems, extend the life of your appliances, and ensure they are operating at peak efficiency.

Can you repair or replace burst pipes?

Yes, our experienced plumbers can repair or replace burst pipes quickly and efficiently, minimising water damage and restoring your plumbing system to optimal function. In the event of a burst pipe, it’s essential to shut off the main water supply and contact our team immediately for assistance.

What is backflow prevention, and why is it important?

Backflow prevention is a process that ensures contaminated water doesn’t flow back into the main water supply. A backflow prevention device is installed on your plumbing system to stop this from happening. Regular backflow testing and maintenance are crucial for maintaining the safety and quality of your water supply, as well as complying with local regulations.

How often should I clean my gutters and downpipes?

It’s recommended to clean your gutters and downpipes at least twice a year, typically in the spring and autumn seasons. However, this may vary depending on the surrounding environment, such as the presence of trees that shed leaves or other debris. Regular cleaning helps prevent blockages, water damage, and potential pest infestations.

Can you help with gas conversions for my appliances?

Yes, our qualified gas fitters can assist with gas conversions for various appliances, such as converting from LPG to natural gas or vice versa. We can also help you determine the most cost-effective and efficient gas solution for your home or business.

How do I know when it's time to replace my hot water system?

Signs that it might be time to replace your hot water system include:

  • Age: Most hot water systems have a lifespan of around 8-12 years. If your system is approaching or has exceeded this age, it may be time to consider a replacement.
  • Frequent repairs: If your hot water system requires frequent repairs, it may be more cost-effective to replace it.
  • Rust or corrosion: Visible rust or corrosion on the tank or its components may indicate that your system is deteriorating and needs replacement.
  • Inconsistent or insufficient hot water: If your system struggles to provide consistent hot water or doesn’t produce enough hot water to meet your needs, a replacement may be necessary.

Can you help me choose the right hot water system for my home or business?

Yes, our experienced team can help you choose the right hot water system based on your specific needs, preferences, and budget. We consider factors such as your household or business size, hot water usage patterns, energy efficiency requirements, and available space to recommend the most suitable hot water system for you.

Do you provide services for strata properties?

Yes, we offer plumbing and gas fitting services for strata properties, working closely with property managers, owners, and tenants to provide efficient and reliable solutions. Our services for strata properties include general plumbing maintenance, gas fitting, hot water system servicing, leak detection, and more.

How can I maintain my plumbing system?

To maintain your plumbing system, follow these tips:

  • Schedule regular plumbing inspections to identify and address any issues before they become major problems.
  • Fix leaks and other plumbing issues promptly.
  • Use drain screens to prevent debris from entering your pipes.
  • Avoid pouring grease, oil, and food scraps down your drains.
  • Have your gas appliances serviced annually by a licensed gas fitter.
  • Insulate your pipes in colder months to prevent freezing and potential burst pipes.

How can I save water and reduce my water bill?

To save water and reduce your water bill, follow these tips:

  • Fix any leaks promptly, as even small leaks can waste large amounts of water over time.
  • Install water-saving fixtures, such as low-flow showerheads and dual-flush toilets.
  • Use a rainwater tank to collect and store rainwater for use in your garden or for flushing toilets.
