Do you, or somebody you know work at a school, child care, nursing home ect? When emergency strikes you don’t just need a plumber; you need a plumber who is either police checked, or has a working with children card depending on the situation. And fair enough too there is a lot of nuff nuffs out there!

This week i received a call from a lady who had called 18 plumbers before me, she had a bad leaking pipe and her companys’ policy is anybody who carries out work at the facility must have the appropriate checks.
Lucky for her Daves plumbing and gasfitting has both, I am police checked and have a working with children card.

Burst pipe in wall, Croydon.

This week I had a call out to inspect a dripping sound from the bathroom.
It turns out this home owner only purchased the house a week prior. The house had been completely renovated, the leak was somewhere behind the newly tiled shower wall. It was going to be a shame to destroy that new wall, not to mention the repair bill! The owner would have to repair all the tiles afterwards, and to add insult to injury his house and contents insurer would not cover $1 towards it.

Its not easy to locate a leak behind a thick tiled wall, as noise will travel. With some extra time taken to narrow down the problem area, and some extra care taken to very carefully cut the tile out, I was able to open a hole in the wall. Then I repaired the leak caused by previous renovator, and then glued the tile back into position. Once the tile is re-grouted no one will ever know. The owner was extremely happy with the outcome.

If you are buying a home always ask for receipts and certificates for any work that has been done.  Protect your investment by making sure the job was done right. Only a licensed plumber can do plumbing work and is required to issue a certificate of compliance at the end.

P.S.  DONT RISK IT, ONLY USE A LICENSED PLUMBER

Burst pipe in front tap at Ringwood.

Living close to a Pub or Club can have its draw backs. One unlucky customer had their front tap snapped off in the middle of the night by vandals.

Over the years I have seen this happen a few times. The best solution is to move the front tap away from the nature strip, and put it on the front of the house. We can also install vandal proof taps that require a key to operate them.
