If you already know what is wrong, go straight to the page. If you only know the symptom, the table at the bottom maps the common ones to where they usually lead.
Active water, gas smell or split pipe: the urgent calls
Active water, a gas smell, or a split pipe. These are the calls that go to the front of the queue, and each page starts with what to do before anyone arrives.
Water already soaked in
Extraction and measured drying for floors, walls and basements, with records for your insurer.
Water Damage CleanupA pipe has split
Shutting it off, why freezing finds exposed lines here, and repair versus replacement of the section.
Burst Pipe RepairGas smell or new gas line
Leak testing, appliance lines, and the WSSC permit and inspection that gas work needs.
Gas Line RepairHot water: repairs, replacements and tankless units
Tank repairs, tank replacements and tankless heaters are kept on separate pages, because the faults and the decisions are different for each.
Tank heater faulting or leaking
Gas and electric diagnosis, and when a repair stops being worth it.
Water Heater RepairReplacing a tank
Sizing for the household, fuel choice, the expansion tank and the replacement day.
Water Heater InstallationOn demand units
Descaling, fault codes, flow based sizing, and the gas and venting work behind a conversion.
Tankless Water HeatersDrains that block and sewer lines that fail
From one slow basin to a main line that keeps backing up. The pages run in order of how far down the system the problem sits.
A blocked or slow drain
Working out whether it is one fixture or the whole house, and clearing it.
Drain CleaningThe same line keeps closing
High pressure cleaning for grease and build up, with a camera before and after.
Hydro JettingA damaged main line
Camera diagnosis, roots, repair and replacement, and where your responsibility ends.
Sewer Line RepairFixing a line without digging
Lining from the inside, when it suits a pipe, and when it does not.
Trenchless Sewer RepairFinding water that should not be there
For leaks you cannot see: a bill that rose, a meter that will not settle, or damp with no obvious source.
A leak you cannot locate
Meter tests, acoustic and thermal locating, and outside, ceiling and basement leaks.
Leak DetectionWater under a concrete floor
Where slab leaks happen in a basement city, locating them, and repair or reroute.
Slab Leak RepairBathrooms, kitchens and the fixtures in them
The parts of the plumbing you use every day, each on its own page so the advice stays specific.
Shower and tub leaks, valves, rough-ins
Pan and surround leaks, valves behind the wall, and plumbing for a renovation.
Bathroom PlumbingToilet running, leaking or blocked
Dye tests, wax rings, clogs, new toilets, bidet seats and relocation.
Toilet RepairTaps, sinks and outdoor spigots
Cartridges and washers, parts for the fixture you own, and winterising hose bibs.
Faucet & Sink RepairDisposal jammed or leaking
Hums, silence and water underneath, repair against replacement, and fitting a new unit.
Garbage DisposalNot sure which page fits? Start from the symptom
