Frequently Asked Questions
-
There are several potential reasons as to why your hot water might not be working. It could be due to an electrical power outage, a gas supply issue, a burst cylinder or pipework, or a malfunctioning valve. If a clear description is provided over the phone, our team will be able to troubleshoot the potential cause with you first, before a callout may be required.
-
Our team will start by asking if your property is located in an older Brisbane area, where earthenware pipes are common and might be prone to breaking or being affected by tree roots. Other potential issues could include a stuck object in the pipes, incorrect sewer installation, or a faulty outlet valve. By assessing these factors, we can accurately diagnose and address the problem with your slow draining toilet.
-
A high water bill can be caused by a variety of issues. A few common issues include:
Running Toilets: Dripping or constantly running toilets can waste a significant amount of water. These can be seen or heard by looking inside the toilet bowl.
Hidden Leaks: Leaks in pipes, especially those hidden underground or behind walls, may not be immediately visible but can still lead to increased water usage. Keep an eye out for random wet patches around your property that do not coincide with rain events.
Faulty Meter: Occasionally, a water meter might malfunction and record higher usage than actual consumption.
Incorrect Billing: Errors in billing or meter reading can also result in an unexpectedly high bill.
-
Every Brisbane property is issued with a council approved water metre for isolation purposes. The shut off valve is usually located inside a black or dark green box which can found on council-owned land, e.g. footpath. Newer homes will most likely feature an isolation valve on the side of exterior wall of the house.
