Plumbing Lane Cove Homes Depend On, From a Washer to a Full Renovation

The broad service for house owners, covering everything from a leaking outdoor tap to a full re-pipe of an ageing home. It is assessed as one system rather than a list of separate faults.

In a suburb where many houses have had their plumbing touched by three or four eras of trade practice, having one team look at the whole picture matters. Details on the residential plumbing page.

These faults rarely arrive unannounced. They announce themselves quietly for months first. A scheduled check catches the perishing hose before it lets go, the worn washer before it fails, and the high pressure that stresses every joint in the house.

For owners of older homes and investment properties alike, it converts emergency calls into planned work. The maintenance plumbing page covers what a visit includes.

The cistern that runs, the pan that rocks, the flush that needs two presses. Most toilet faults are quick and inexpensive when addressed early, and costly when the leak rots a floor or the running wastes thousands of litres.

We carry cistern parts for the common suites on the van. See toilet repairs for the full list of faults we fix.

When the old suite is cracked, dated or beyond sensible repair, a full toilet installation covers removal of the old unit, checking the outlet and flange, and setting the new suite level and sealed before testing the flush and the fill.

It is a half-day job done right, not a rushed swap that leaks at the base in twelve months.

The service behind most local renovations: running new supply and waste lines, setting tapware, installing the bath, shower and vanity, and coordinating with your tiler and builder so the plumbing is right before the waterproofing goes on.

Many bathrooms in the older housing stock are on their second or third renovation. The pipe work behind those walls deserves someone who reads its age correctly. The bathroom plumbing page has the detail.

Sinks that drain slowly, mixers that drip, dishwasher feeds that were never quite installed properly in the first place. Kitchen plumbing takes more daily abuse than any other room, and the fixes are usually straightforward once diagnosed honestly.

The kitchen plumbing page covers the common faults and the renovation work.

The dripping tap is the most-put-off repair in plumbing, and one of the quickest to fix. We handle washer replacements, ceramic cartridge swaps in mixer taps, pressure-limiting valves, and full tapware replacement when the old set is past saving.

If your mixer is dripping from the base rather than the spout, that is a different fault, and the tap repairs page explains why.

A leaking shower rarely looks like a leaking shower. It looks like a damp smell, a lifting tile, a mark spreading across the ceiling below.

Whether the fault is the mixer, the showerhead, the grate or the waterproofing behind the tiles, finding it correctly is the difference between a small repair and a stripped-out bathroom. The shower repairs page walks through the diagnosis.

When the water bill climbs and nothing is visibly wet, the leak is in a wall, under a floor or beneath the ground. We use acoustic detection, moisture meters and, where needed, camera inspection to locate the source without tearing your home open on a guess.

In older suburbs with ageing pipe work, hidden leaks are more common than most owners expect. The leak detection page explains the methods.

Under-sink filters, whole-of-home systems, cartridge replacements and new installations. A properly installed filter gives you better-tasting water and stops you hauling bottles home from the Plaza.

The water filters page covers the options and what each one actually removes.

Whether a burst arrives as a flood at midnight or a slow weep discovered on a Saturday morning, this is the single page for it. The burst pipes page covers the immediate make-safe steps and the repair or replacement decision.

The local mix of ageing copper and perishing flexi hoses keeps this job on the weekly schedule. If water is spreading right now, call us first and read second.

Dishwashers, fridges with water dispensers, ice makers and washing machines all need a proper connection: the right isolation tap, the correct drain arrangement and a leak-tested finish.

The quick version done by a retailer's installer is how slow leaks start under kitchen cabinetry. The appliance installation page covers what a correct installation includes.

Properties with an irrigation system, a rainwater tank connection or certain commercial fittings need annual backflow testing to keep the water supply protected. We test, certify and lodge the paperwork so the requirement stays off your desk.

The backflow testing page explains who needs it and why Sydney Water requires it.
