HERE ARE SOME COMMON ISSUES THE PIED PLUMBER CAN HELP YOU WITH:

Toilet trouble

A leaking cistern, in some cases, can drive your water bills up significantly! Leaks or drips may become evident on the outside of your toilet bowl or pan. If this becomes a concern, toilets can be quickly isolated using the valve located underneath. We can even remove your current toilet and install the one you’ve always envisioned—you’d be amazed at how a fresh toilet installation can dramatically change the feel of your bathroom.

Whether this counts as a crisis or not, we’re always available for plumbing services near Burwood and would love the chance to chat with you!

Shower Complications

Hidden shower leaks can sometimes emerge from small crevices near your water taps or around the showerhead. Our team is equipped with thermal imaging technology and can easily conduct a pressure test on the shower outlet. Prioritising a plumbing check is the most reliable first action before investing hundreds in resealing your bath or shower setup, only to find the issue still unresolved.

Our team replaces old, rusted shower heads with brand-new, premium multi-function versions and fits adjustable shower-on-a-rail dispensers, perfect for couples with significant height variations.

Constant Gas Smell

Operating as fully licenced and insured gas fitting professionals in Burwood, we know what signs to watch for. An unexpected smell of gas near your gas heater, BBQ, stove, or gas meter—or the presence of a light egg-like odour under your flooring—should not be ignored, as they may indicate a leak.

Because gas leaks can be hazardous to both you and your family, it’s important to contact us to decide on what to do next. We utilise the most up-to-date testing and tracing technology to keep your heating and kitchen functioning properly.

Leaking and Burst Pipes

Burst water pipes can show up in hidden or hazardous areas like near electrical wires or underground, often causing large-scale water damage and high bills. We always have an experienced emergency plumber available 24/7 near Burwood to respond without delay. From fixing floods and leaks to replacing entire sections of pipe, we work fast. The Pied Plumber has tackled all types of pipe issues, from split hoses under sinks to garden pipe bursts and even breaks underneath pathways or meters. We’ll ensure everything flows smoothly again.

No Hot Water Burwood Area

Dealing with no hot water in your home in Burwood? You’re not alone—it’s a regular plumbing problem, and our team is ready to resolve it fast for your comfort. Small hot water leaks are usually fixable, but ignoring them may lead to system-wide failure. Sometimes, the real issue is a malfunctioning tempering device that compromises water temperature at crucial fixtures like your shower or kitchen sink. We can service, repair, or install reliable new hot water systems. All materials used come directly from your nearest Reece plumbing supplier for lasting reliability.

No heat? When your boiler ceases to provide optimal heat, calling the experts for a quick fix is essential. We manage everything hassle-free and without delay.

Leaking Taps in Burwood

The never-ending drip of a tap can wear down even the most patient family! From leaking mixer cartridges in your kitchen or hand basin to the notorious bathroom shower that disrupts sleep, this is a plumbing problem many Burwood homes face. Old or faulty washers are often behind the rise in your quarterly water bills. The Pied Plumber specialises in both repairing and replacing leaky taps—whether they’re old-school washer styles or more modern quarter-turn types. We do the lot with no fuss.

Blockages With In Household Drains around Burwood

This happens quite frequently for many living in Burwood. Whether from children neglecting their toys or a close relative turning up at Christmas, it can leave you in a tricky pickle.

Inside the home, blockages typically arise from excessive grease buildup in kitchen sinks, along with long-haired family members contributing to sluggish shower drains that can sometimes overflow. Over the last twenty years, The Pied Plumber has gained extensive experience managing these problems. Whether it’s clearing blocked floor wastes near baths, swiftly addressing kitchen drain issues, repairing overflowing laundry tubs, or even extracting dried cement from shower drains left by your last tradesman, we do it all. Our approach ensures your drainage is repaired correctly, and we strive to provide you with knowledge to prevent future blockages.

It’s clear that drains don’t usually look good, and attempting to clear the ensuite or main bathroom toilet blockage without professional help can worsen the problem over time.

Blocked External Drains in Burwood

On some occasions, and for some more often than others, you could notice gurgling around drains, generally in bathrooms and even around outdoor areas with sewer overflow. It’s important to deal with these issues as soon as they emerge because these frequent plumbing troubles can be remedied quickly!

The root cause of many outside sewer service blockages in Burwood is tree roots seeking water during the city’s frequent droughts. From Burwood to Frenches Forest and Mona Vale, mainline sewer line blockages are prevalent throughout Burwood and nearby areas. We specialise in handling branch line obstructions, boundary trap complications, and shaft issues. Using the latest high-pressure jet blasting and CCTV drain inspection equipment, The Pied Plumber locates and clears blockages efficiently, fully restoring your wastewater drainage system.

Stormwater drains that struggle with heavy rainfall are no exception to this rule. Should your downpipes be clogging up around pits or your strip drains overflow, we’ll quickly restore function and thoroughly assess the problem to avoid future repeats.

Burwood Drain Repairs:

Faulty or burst pipes and clogged or malfunctioning sewers can effectively bring your household to a standstill, resulting in a variety of problems. Whenever your toilet, bathroom, bath, or sinks flood, clog, or suffer damage, we consider all drain repairs emergencies. Our plumbers in Burwood will promptly unblock, Jet-Blast, and clear your overflowing drains to restore normal flow!

The first thing to do if you experience a blocked drain caused by tree roots or paper is to contact one of our specialists. Our after-hours emergency plumbing service will help you identify the common causes of drain blockages. Once our team arrives, they will locate and repair the blockage and ensure your drains meet installation standards to avoid any future blockages.

Emergency Burwood Plumber:

We realise plumbing issues are not just a daytime concern and frequently happen after work, particularly when you are preparing for a shower or using the toilet. That’s why our plumbing team is available 24/7 to serve you and your family. So when you face a plumbing emergency in Burwood, our direct response team can assist you anytime, including at night or in the early hours.

What To do In an After-Hours Burwood Plumbing Emergency:

Remain calm; assistance is within a call’s reach. Emergencies are frequently apparent; what’s not always clear is your safety. Stop momentarily to observe flood-prone areas, look out for electrical hazards, and if water is present near your storage hot water service, switch OFF your electrical hot water circuit at once! The hot water circuit should be clearly indicated as “HWS,” “HOT WATER,” or “HW” inside your electrical meter box.

So, you’ve isolated your supplies and are about to call The Pied Plumber:

We do have wet vacs and cleaning supplies on hand, but we regard these items primarily as part of our emergency response toolkit. Having old towels ready during a crisis is crucial and will greatly reduce the damage severity inside your home. Plumbing faults beneath a hand basin, toilet, or sink can cause chipboard cupboards and shelves to swell up, resulting in irreversible damage. Whatever you do, refrain from using hot air fans, as they will escalate the problem before we arrive. Leave your plumbing issues to us!

What do I do if a pipe bursts in my toilet, kitchen, laundry or ensuite?

  • A polite pause request rarely resolves burst pipes. Before we arrive, do your best to find the water meter and, if you can, check whether the leak is from hot or cold water—this helps in isolating the right line. If this step is skipped, the meter will continue drawing down the water supply.
  • If you’re phoning from a property in Burwood, it’s likely that your water meter is out front, directly in line with your hose tap and facing the street. To switch the water off, turn the meter tap clockwise. Then, activate an outdoor hose tap to confirm that your water supply is indeed ‘OFF’. This will also ensure that any leftover water in the line drains out safely elsewhere.
  • In emergencies occurring within a unit block in Burwood, your unit isolation valve is most often located either beneath the kitchen sink or at the laundry tub. Unfortunately, the location of common property isolation valves is not bound by any definitive standards. Hence, The Pied Plumber advises all unit owners to consistently be conscious of where this vital component is positioned.

PLUMBING EMERGENCY?

What Our Customers Say About Us

PLUMBING TROUBLESHOOTING

A shower is just one example. Technically, any hot water fixture can suffer from this. You might get hot water instantly on one end of the home, but at the other end, it seems broken.

The issue typically lies in the pipe size and how far the hot water travels. The greater the distance from the heater to the fixture, the more time and heat loss occurs. Even your local climate can influence how quickly water loses its heat.

When hot water systems suffer from poor pressure, it really amplifies the problem. The good news? We usually find a way to fix or greatly improve the issue.

Probably not. Vitreous ceramic cisterns usually have suitable genuine and generic parts to repair them. If it’s a plastic cistern and the fix requires more than changing inlet and outlet rubbers, replacing the unit might be cheaper. We always evaluate the age, brand, and design of your cistern and suite so you’re fully informed when making a decision.

At The Pied Plumber, we understand that knowing how to lower your water bills in Burwood will go a long way to helping families manage their budgets within challenging climates. Never fear! There are ways that you can reduce your water bills, whether this be installing water-efficient appliances and fixtures or by ensuring that leaks are isolated and fixed promptly. These actions will not only help you save money on your water bills but assist in conserving water, we can all help save our dams during drought seasons. Five strategies for saving money on your water bills in Burwood

  1. Check your toilet for leaks: Add a few drops of food colouring into the cistern and wait for 30 minutes. If the cistern is leaking into the pan, you will see the coloured water in the bowl.
  2. Install a dual flush cistern: This can save you up to 5 litres of water every time you flush the toilet, which can add up to thousands of litres per year.
  3. Check fixture flow rates: Our family plumbers will check the flow rates of your shower heads, bath, vanity, kitchen and laundry taps and install water restrictors, which reduce the flow rates to save you money.
  4. Repair leaking taps: One or more dripping taps can add up to a lot of wasted water and higher than expected bills. So whether these are indoors or outdoors, the prompt repair of leaking taps is essential to conserving water and saving money on your water bills in Burwood.
  5. Hidden underground leaks: Often, the first time you realise that you have an insidious underground water leak is when you receive an abnormally high water bill. However, leaks from underground mains water pipes can be challenging to locate, which is why our electronic line locating equipment comes in handy. Our family plumbers will quickly and efficiently find the source of your underground water leak and repair the pipes, helping you to save money on your water bills in Burwood.

Lower your water bills with a water leak claim form When you have a concealed water leak underground and have promptly acted to fix the problem, you can claim credit for the additional water charges from the council. As licensed family plumbers in Burwood, we will issue you with a water leak claim form, which you submit to Burwood Water once we have repaired your water leak helping you lower your water bill in Burwood following a hidden leak. We’re here if you need us: 1300 13 80 80

Short answer; check your cleaner packaging before use. Anything bleach-based, when used inside your cistern, can chemically deteriorate internal rubbers and valve parts. If your cistern cleaner is bright blue in particular – this voids most manufacture warranties of cistern components. A quick tip from the boss: If you’re one to use cleaners inside the toilet rim, look into dissolvable stick-on products rather than hanging manifolds. You’d be surprised how many call-outs Plumbers obtain from foreign objects caught down the dunny when flushed. Some can involve fairly significant works to retrieve. Just remember – bleach for the pan, not your cistern! We’re always happy for a chat if you’re experiencing any issues. 1300 13 80 80

Unsatisfactorily low water pressure may be reasonably simple to diagnose in certain situations. Below is a check-list of possible triggers, from the more popular to the uncommon supplementary causes of low water pressure:

  • Your meter tap washer is broken and thus disallowing optimal flow through the meter assembly.
  • You have a pressure limiting or reduction device fitted to the meter outlet, which may require replacement.
  • Burwood Water has reduced the street pressure supply to prolong outdated and weakened mains pipes from breaking.
  • Your fixture tap outlets have become clogged with debris—this is a common problem, particularly after a split in a street main, causing fixture tap outlets to become blocked. This is a common problem, particularly after a break in a road main.
  • Your water supply lines are undersized for the number of fixtures you now have around your property. Particularly when homes have been renovated and fixture numbers have doubled without updating water supplies to accommodate the increased flow rates necessary to operate the dwelling
  • You have a below ground leak on the property; depending on the severity of the leak, this may impact your working pressures to fixtures.
  • You perhaps have a hidden pressure-reducing device fitted somewhere on the property. A full house inspection is often necessary to source these.

The key concern here is: Don’t wait for your next water bill to arrive. Check that your water meter isn’t ticking over constantly, and if concerned – we’re a call away.

Fortunately, you’re not alone—this prevalent problem in Burwood households is, most of the time, due to either hot water cylinder rust or cast-iron pipe supply issues. (if in older properties) Open your taps independently to check whether the discolouration occurrence is on both hot and cold sides. If your issue is predominantly from the hot side – your hot water heater is asking for a check-up. Are you finding this on both sides? It’s a likely supply issue. Discolouration can range from a slight cloudy white tinge to black, brown and orange water supplies. To check, simply fill a clear cup sample and focus notably on the bottom for sedimentation. On occasion, even a Burwood Water street mains break can affect surrounding property supply, so in the meantime, continue using your plumbing and, after a day or two – if the problem persists, have this looked over. Otherwise, give us a call! We would be more than happy to help. 1300 13 80 80

The maximum and most ideal house pressure range is 500KPA. This is achieved throughout most of Burwood; however, some areas have been known to exceed this immensely. Furthermore, in these particular locations, we’ll often find problem issues that rarely occur elsewhere. High-pressure notably reduces lifespan and increases wear in pipes and valves. Water hammering concerns are prevalent in these scenarios, and generally, water use in high-pressure homes is far greater than their optimal pressure counterparts. Unfortunately, Burwood Water does not guarantee a maximum supply pressure, leaving the sole discretion of the consumer to protect their property. As plumbers, we can easily perform a pressure test and, if necessary, install a water meter pressure-limiting device to safeguard your home.

  • Water hammering or odd audible noise emanating from plumbing fixtures can commonly cause burst pipes and property damage if left unattended. It may seem insignificant but certainly, a worthy idea to check for peace of mind.
  • Water damage outside shower screens, bubbling paint along walls and adjacent rooms, dampness or discolouration around ceilings along with off stagnant odour around plumbing areas. Avoid an insurance claim, have this checked.
  • Higher than usual water bills is a relatively standard method of establishing whether you have an issue. If you’re unable to identify the cause of the billing discrepancy – It might be worth having your house inspected for leaks.
  • Gurgling and varying water levels in toilets, floor wastes, and outdoor drains are a giveaway sign that you have a sewer blockage. This is the time to have your plumbing assessed to prevent overflowing drains.
  • Hot water no longer producing a reasonable tempered supply; A plethora of causes may result in this scenario – All of which should be appropriately assessed by a licenced plumber.
  • The sudden drop in your outside garden grassed area? This might sound like a sinkhole or something out worldly, although it is usually a result of drainage breaks underground.

Broken sewer lines are the usual culprit as there’s a regular supply of waste passing through these pipes, which can draw in the surrounding ground as waste matter passes. These issues should adequately be assessed even if your grass has never been greener! Since our establishment in 1995 – You’ve had it, we’ve seen it.

For the most part – It’s not a secret language. This refers to sets of rules outlined by countries, states and regions worldwide with the objective of providing safe method, practice and installation of plumbing materials and systems fit for public health and safety. We operate within the guidelines of the Australian Burwood region, which is primarily governed by the AS/NZ 3500 standard and NSW code of practice. So if you overhear a plumber saying, “That’s not to standard!” – It’s probably good news that he or she knows the rules which must be carried out.

Take it from the owner of the Pied Plumber—a pet hate of agreeing to a price and then the hidden surprise afterwards. Since 1995 – We have never surcharged a VISA or MASTERCARD expense back to our customers. We will, however, continue to charge 1.5% on AMEX.

Yes—pipe size truly does matter. The original pipe sizing in your home may have only met minimum standards. With extensions or additions, your required flow rates may have doubled, resulting in pressure drops in your water or gas supply. Often, these issues stem from poor plumbing design. Whether it’s adjusting a gas regulator or assessing pipes post-meter, The Pied Plumber will inspect and offer practical solutions tailored to your needs.

We’re proud to say – NO! The Pied Plumber is a family-owned business, and truthfully, that’s exactly how we prefer it!

This flimsy piece of paper is documentation usually found with your house sale contracts, which can significantly assist in locating the position of below-ground sewer pipework. In essence, it’s a vague outline of your outdoor sewer service and, in most cases outdated, however, it does have relevance during scenarios where a Plumber is unable to locate essential final sewer points, as oftentimes these are buried underground in older dwellings. It also gives further knowledge on the whereabouts of mains infrastructure. It is always a good idea to have this document on hand ready before a plumber arrives. If unobtainable, visit the Burwood Water website and purchase a downloadable copy.

Our regular business hours are Monday through to Friday, 7am – 3pm. This excludes Public holidays and long weekends. However, we understand that not all plumbing issues arise between these times. If urgent, we offer after-hours, same day service if necessary. The Pied plumber is always happy to help!
