Hugh Future-Proofs a Burst Pipe Repair in Dalkeith

When a burst pipe hits, it can cause big headaches – especially when there’s no easy way to isolate the problem. That’s exactly what Hugh faced when he was called to a Dalkeith property after the swimming pool outhouse toilet went down with a major leak.

📍 Location: Dalkeith, WA

🔎 The Problem

On arrival, Hugh discovered:

•Two badly corroded flexi hoses (one completely burst)

•A mixer tap set that had seen better days

•No isolation valves – meaning the whole building had to be shut off to deal with the leak

🛠️ The Fix

Rather than doing a quick patch job, Hugh future-proofed the plumbing for the long run:

• Replaced the entire mixer set

• Installed brand-new flexi hoses

• Added isolation valves on each side, so any future issue can be fixed without shutting off the whole property

💬 “Future-proofing is the key – this way, if something goes wrong down the line, you don’t need to turn off the whole building.”

📌 The Result

•Burst pipe repaired properly

•Plumbing modernised and safer

•Outhouse toilet back in action with peace of mind for the customer

Another job done right by Plumbdog – not just fixing the immediate problem, but setting things up to prevent future failures. 🐾

Hot Water Restored! Baldivis Plumbing Job with Chris

When a Baldivis homeowner was left without hot water, Chris was called in to sort it out. The problem? An old, outdated Rheem Stella hot water system that had finally given up.

•Made sure the household could stay comfortable while waiting for a proper replacement

🛠️ Step 2: The Upgrade

✅ Step 3: Test & Handover

Blocked Kitchen Sink Cleared with Jetter | Drain Crystals Don’t Work

Jetter + CCTV = Clean Drain, Clean Win

In this video, Rich is called out to a property with a completely blocked kitchen sink. The customer had already tried using drain crystals — and as we often see, they didn’t work. In fact, they made things worse.

Luckily, this job got off to a good start when Rich found the D.G (disconnector gully) conveniently located near the front door and driveway — ideal access for the van-mounted high-pressure water jetter.

🧰 Step 1: Set Up & Jet

Rich quickly gets to work:

• Pulls the jetter hose straight from the van
• Starts jetting through the D.G gully
• Hits heavy gunk, fat buildup, and…
• Pulls out a big handful of undissolved drain crystals 🤦‍♂️

💬 “Drain crystals might seem like a quick fix, but most of the time they just clump up, harden, and block the pipe even more. Then we’ve got to clean it all out properly.”

🎥 Step 2: CCTV Inspection

Once the jetting is complete:

• Rich drops the CCTV camera down the line
• Tracks it all the way back to the kitchen sink
• Result? A squeaky clean pipe, flowing freely with no debris left behind

✅ Step 3: Final Test

To wrap it up:

• Rich runs the kitchen sink inside
• Watches the water flow perfectly through the inspection shaft
• Confirms the job is done, done properly, and done once

💬 “Forget the crystals — this is the way to fix a drain properly.”

🐾 Real plumbers. Real jetters. Real clean drains.
📞 No callout fee. Fast response. Blocked drains fixed the right way — the first time.
