Plumber Athlone

Yes, we provide comprehensive plumbing services throughout Athlone with same-day response during business hours. From our Drouin base, we can reach you quickly for emergencies or scheduled maintenance. Our plumbers know the local area and common plumbing challenges, arriving prepared with the right parts and equipment to fix problems efficiently.

Quality tap washers usually last 2-5 years depending on water quality and usage, though hard water areas may see shorter lifespans. If you're replacing washers frequently, it might be time for new taps as the seat could be damaged. We can replace washers for a quick fix or install new tapware for a long-term solution.

Yes, we service and repair solar hot water systems including the plumbing components, pumps, and valves. While we don't work on solar panels themselves, we handle all water-related aspects including replacing tanks, fixing leaks, and maintaining boost systems. Solar systems can provide up to 90% reduction in hot water costs when working properly.

Noisy pipes (water hammer) are usually caused by high water pressure, loose pipes, or worn valves. We can install pressure limiting valves, secure loose pipes with clips, or replace faulty valves to eliminate the noise. Don't ignore banging pipes as they can eventually cause leaks or fitting failures.

Yes, we provide services throughout the district including Amor, Bona Vista, and Drouin West. We know these rural communities well and arrive equipped for properties with varied water sources from town supply to tanks and bores.

Gurgling drains usually indicate a partial blockage or venting issue in your plumbing system. This could be debris buildup, tree roots starting to intrude, or a blocked vent pipe on your roof. We'll use our CCTV drain camera to identify the exact cause and clear it before it becomes a complete blockage, saving you from emergency callout fees.

Yes, our licensed gas plumbers can install gas lines and connect your new gas cooktop safely. This involves running gas pipes from your meter or bottles, installing appropriate shut-off valves, and testing everything for leaks. We handle all compliance requirements and provide certificates for the gas work, ensuring your kitchen upgrade is safe and legal.

Check your existing system's label for capacity, but we often recommend upgrading if your family has grown or you're running out of hot water. Modern systems are more efficient, so a new 250L unit might outperform your old 315L system. We'll assess your actual usage and recommend the right size to ensure everyone gets hot showers.

Yes, all gas work requires a Certificate of Compliance which we provide upon completion. This certificate is essential for insurance and legal purposes, proving the work meets Victorian regulations. We handle all the paperwork and can provide copies if you need them for property sales or insurance claims.

Most hot water systems benefit from annual inspection of the tempering valve, pressure relief valve, and anode rod (in storage tanks). Regular maintenance extends system life and maintains efficiency, potentially saving hundreds in energy costs. We'll check for leaks, corrosion, and sediment buildup that could cause premature failure.
