Blocked Drains in Fulham

The earthenware drains under the older homes crack at the joints and let in roots from the established street trees, while the larger newer builds tend to block on grease and debris. We clear both by machine or jetter and put a CCTV drain inspection through to confirm the cause.

Where a length has cracked, relining rebuilds it from the inside without lifting the yard, and a drain that keeps blocking at the one spot is usually a single failed section the camera pinpoints.

A drain that keeps blocking at the one spot usually has a single failed section, so we camera it and target the repair rather than clearing it on repeat.

Hot Water System Repairs and Replacement in Fulham

Plenty of the hot water units in the older homes have been in service for years and are now failing, and a larger newer home may draw hot water from several bathrooms at once. We service and swap gas, electric, solar and heat pump systems and fit the right hot water system.

When a repair will see it through, we use stocked parts; otherwise we set out the options by running cost and fit the replacement.

On a larger home we can fit a recirculation loop where hot water has a long way to reach a distant bathroom, so the wait at the tap is cut down.

Burst and Leaking Pipes in Fulham

The galvanised supply in the older homes corrodes inward, and a little sea air off the coast speeds it along, so discoloured water, weak pressure and pinhole leaks turn up, while newer builds can weep at fittings that loosen. Left alone the old pipe eventually splits.

We trace the leak with leak detection equipment before opening anything up, repair the section, and where corrosion keeps returning we fit more resistant materials so the same spot does not keep failing.

Where a corroded galvanised run keeps springing leaks, we price replacing it outright in copper or PEX, since patching one pinhole after another rarely works out cheaper over a year.

Toilet, Tap and Water Pressure Repairs in Fulham

We carry out toilet repairs and leaking tap repairs across the home, from period fittings to modern tapware, along with cisterns, mixers and shower fittings. Low pressure in an older home usually comes back to corroded galvanised supply rather than the fitting itself.

So we test before replacing, and swap worn washers and cartridges to stop the quiet leaks that lift a bill. Beyond the meter, on the street side, responsibility is SA Water’s, and we make sure of the boundary.

Gas Fitting in Fulham

Gas handles cooking, heating and hot water in many homes here, and all gas work is carried out by our licensed gas fitters. We connect and repair appliances, add points during renovations, and test existing lines before new load goes on them.

Gas odour indoors? Everyone out, then call 1300 632 094. Our gas leak and gas fitting service covers detection, repair and certification.

Emergency Plumbing in Fulham

Our emergency line is open around the clock for bursts, major leaks, blocked drains that risk flooding, sewage backups and hot water failures. The first step is always to stop the water before we work out what has failed.

With the common fittings on the van, most after-hours bursts and blockages are repaired on the visit rather than made safe and left for the next day.

Common Plumbing Problems in Fulham

The plumbing in Fulham runs to the age of the housing. The post-war homes were built with earthenware drainage and galvanised supply, and both age poorly, the clay joints cracking and admitting roots while the galvanised corrodes inward and discolours the water.

Between the river and the coast, the suburb catches a little sea air that speeds up corrosion on outdoor taps and exposed pipe, so pinhole leaks and worn fittings turn up sooner than well inland, and the larger newer builds bring PVC and modern fittings that can loosen as a house settles.

The suburb sits on reactive clay that moves with the seasons and keeps working at drain joints already weakened by age, while the mature street trees add to the root pressure. A camera inspection is the reliable way to see what is really there before settling on the fix.

Outdoor taps and hose fittings wear a little faster near the coast, so we tend to fit more resistant tapware rather than repair the same worn one twice. Water pressure complaints in the older homes nearly always trace to the corroded galvanised supply, which we test end to end before recommending a fix.
