Your home is made up of a complex, interconnected system of pipes, drains and appliances that use and discharge water.

Think about the rooms in your house, and you’ll realise how much you rely on properly running plumbing and drainage. In your kitchen you have a multitude of appliances that rely on water – sink, waste disposal, dishwasher, plumbed in filtered water. In the laundry you have a washing machine and sink. In the bathrooms you may have a bathtub, shower, toilet, bidet, sink. Outside the house you may have an irrigation system or spa/hot tub, along with stormwater pipes, spouting, and perhaps a rainwater tank.

That’s a lot of plumbing and drainage systems that may need servicing or repairs.

When house hunting or looking for a flat to rent, there’s one thing almost everyone checks – the water pressure. And when we stay in a hotel, we almost always comment on the shower pressure. Why is that?

When you need the help of a plumber, it may feel like everything is an emergency. At the very least, everything seems like an urgent job. You don’t want plumbing leaks, clogged pipes or blocked toilets left for any longer than necessary.

When you need to call a plumber, it’s usually an urgent situation. You may have an overflowing toilet, a leaky tap or a burst pipe. If you have an emergency plumbing issue, you want to know who to call right away.

People often think of a plumber when they have an urgent plumbing issue, like a blocked drain or a leak. There are many other signs, however, that you need the services of a plumber. You may not see an obvious problem, but there are some clear signs in your home that indicate it’s time to call in a plumber.

The plumbing and drainage system in your property is quite complex – you have kitchen and bathrooms sinks, drains, waste disposal units, toilets, showers, a bathtub, laundry basin, washing machine, hot water cylinder, outdoor taps and drains, underground sewage and wastewater systems, gutters, downpipes … the list goes on.
So when something goes wrong in any of these areas, you may need to call in a plumber, gasfitter or drainage professional. Some of these concerns are fairly routine, but others are considered urgent and need an emergency plumber.
