In this VLOG, one of our top dogs Darius is on the job where pipes have been damaged from tree roots.

Blocked Drains – Tree Roots

Tree roots are one of the common causes for blocked drains. In some instances after the problem area is detected, the problem can be easily fixed but in this instance it’s not as straight forward as blasting some difficult roots with our custom high powered water jetters.

Not all blocked drains are the same. At this location, not only was the pipe broken and needing replacing, Darius has had to break down the concrete driveway to get access to the broken pipe.

If you’ve seen his work before, you know Darius takes pride in his work and does a great job in minimising damage to the property.

More Than Just A Plumber

We pride ourselves in being maintenance plumbing experts and we’re really good at it. On top of that, check out the job that’s done on the driveway. From the start to finish, the breaking down of concrete is done neatly and properly causing minimal damage to keep the properly looking in good condition. After the job is done, another tradie isn’t called in to re-concrete the driveway. Darius has not only re-concreted, he’s done a great job and taken pride in making the driveway look great. This is the standards that we hold to our Plumbdogs.

Another Great VLOG from Darius

In the video in this link, he fixes a burst water pipe inside a brick wall cavity and you will be impressed with how little space he needs to get the job done.

If you are looking for the best plumbers for repairing broken or twisted inspection shaft riser, give the professionals from Plumdog Plumbing a whistle. We pride ourselves in being the specialists in maintenance plumbing which includes repairing  broken and twisted inspection shafts as part of our blocked drain maintenance services.

From repairing the blocked drains to the hot water problems, our obedient Plumbdogs have the knowledge and experience needed to get the job done. If you suspect that you may have a blocked drain issue you should call the team. We have all the gear and every idea and we can inspect your location with the right tools and CCTV cameras.

In The Video:

1. The Location
   We will detect the problem area at your location. If you know where your access points are it can help save time which means money but if you are not sure then that is not a problem at all. Our experienced Plumbdogs will sniff it out in no time. For more about drain inspection shafts click here to see the blog:
2. Inspection Of The Inspection Riser
   The drainage system does not function smoothly if the inspection riser gets damaged or excessive blockage in the pipes. With the help of the CCTV camera, the expert will examine the riser. The blockage can be due to the accumulation of grease, fallen leaves, bottles, and other plastic items. All these items get accumulated for several months, which eventually block the passage of wastewater drainage. The expert first clears the blockage by removing the obstructive particles from the path.
3. Removing The Twisted Riser
   As the blockage is removed from the channel, the twisted riser is taken out and examined properly. The plumber will bring a new riser along with him to replace the old one. Replacing the old, twisted, and broken shaft riser is very important as it will obstruct the particles further and will not provide a hassle-free movement of the wastewater.
4. Installation Of The New Riser
   Yes, after removing the old riser, the plumber replaces it with the new one. Install it in the position where the old riser was located. After the new riser is being installed, the inspection cover is checked once more, and then the plumber closes the lid of the inspection cover that is located on the surface of the ground.

Besides blocked drain repairs and CCTV inspection, we also offer general plumbing, gas leak detection and hot water system installation, maintenance and repairs. If you want to hire a trusted plumber in Perth, consult the team from Plumdog Plumbing.

• Water Leaks are one of the most common reasons for high water bills
• You can identify whether you have a potential leak, we’ll show you how
• Check out more of our VLOGs here!

Water leakage is one of the most common reasons behind your high water bills and if the leak is left undetected for a long time, it can dig an unwanted hole in your pocket.

In this video, our Plumbdog Richard shares some simple tips and tricks to discover unknown leaks on your property and reduce the unnecessary wastage of money. He also explains possible ways which you can detect the problem by yourself.

1. Find You Water Meter
   The first step is to spot the water meter. Before seeking assistance from a professional, you can try to locate the meter yourself, as it is usually placed in the garden towards the boundary, close to the street.
   If you are unable to figure the position, then the chances are that it might be buried under overgrown garden land. Such a situation demands an expert’s guidance, for which you can click the link we have mentioned in our blog.
2. Turn Off Water Using Devices
   The next course of action is to turn off all the devices that involve direct water use. Check for usual items like washing machines, water purifiers and filter systems, taps and adaptive aircons.
3. Test With The Water Meter
   Now finally, we test the leakage through our water meter. Now we need to observe the movement of our dial for over 5 minutes. If there is no movement then you can be comfortable knowing that there isn’t a leak. A movement in the reading is an indication of a possible leak.

What to do if you notice a movement?

In such a case, the ideal thing to do to give us a whistle and book yourself a professional plumber. If you want to try and detect the leak yourself first, then a good place to start looking is usually around the water meter itself.

If you are able to identify the water leak it will help save some time and money and you can call us to fix up the problem. Of course if you are unable to detect the leak yourself, our team of trained and experienced Plumbdogs will sniff out the problem for you.
