If your water bill has unexpectedly increased, it may be due to a leak somewhere on your property. You can check if this is the case by first turning off all the taps. Next you should turn off other appliances that use water, such as the washing machine and dishwasher. Once you have done that, you should check your water meter to see the reading. Then wait about fifteen minutes and check it again. Remember not to flush a toilet either while you wait. The reading should not have changed. If the meter reading has increased, there is a good chance it is due to a leak and you will need experienced plumbers to fix it.

Some leaks may be easy to detect, such as a dripping tap, a running toilet or burst pipes. Others may be difficult to find, such as a compromised underground pipe, or a pipe in your walls. First you can do a check of all your taps and appliances. Follow this up by looking for damp or moldy areas in the walls of your home. You can also check outside for areas on the ground that are always wet. If you do not find anything, minor plumbing repairs or other plumbing work by a plumber may be the next step.

Generally, there is only one way to fix a leak underground. You need to find it, dig it up and repair the pipes. If water leaks are before your home, you may be able to split the cost of repair and excess water bills with Unity Water. Our Sunshine Coast plumbers can help with this process if required.

A plumbing issue is always considered an emergency when it involves sewerage water. This could include overflowing, backflowing or leaking sewage drains. Other emergency plumbing situations are those that are causing damage to your property. That may be caused by a major bathroom leak, or water spurting from the ground. If you have a plumbing leak near electricity, this could also cause an emergency. Our local plumbers can get there fast and will offer efficient solutions.

Underground pipes most often leak due to rupture by tree roots. Other pipes can begin to leak due to movement in the ground or physical contact. Another common leak is caused by flexihoses in bathrooms or kitchens bursting through poor material construction.

Only a registered gasfitter is permitted to work on gas lines in Queensland. This includes installation and repair. All gas fitting work must be certified.

Again, only a registered gas fitter can install gas appliances. Not all plumbers are gas fitters. If your appliances are installed by a person who is not certified, then it mat compromise your product warranties and insurance claims in the event of damage. It is also just illegal.

This will depend on the time of day and which type of hot water system you have. However, a hot water system replacement will usually take about three or four hours to remove and install.
