Blocked Drains and Sewage Backups
Blocked drains are one of those problems that don’t stay out of sight for long. Around Riverhead, we see everything from ageing clay pipes being invaded by tree roots to newer setups getting blocked by wipes, grease, or garden debris.
When drains slow or back up, it can mean foul smells, slow-flushing toilets, or even wastewater flooding the garden. Our team uses CCTV inspection to find and clear stubborn blockages and advise on prevention, especially for properties surrounded by established trees.
Low Water Pressure and Leaks
Low water pressure is a common frustration, often found in older Riverhead homes or after heavy rainfall. Leaks from old pipe joints or hidden pipes can be just as sneaky, showing up as damp patches, rising water bills, or even puddles in the yard.
Both issues point to underlying problems that can get worse if left unchecked, like corroded pipes or recent earth movement affecting your plumbing. We’re experienced at tracking these down quickly so you’re not left with ongoing interruptions or bigger repair bills in the future.
Hot Water Cylinder Issues and Upgrades
Hot water cylinders are a steady source of trouble in Riverhead, especially in older homes or properties set up with legacy systems. We often get called when hot water isn’t consistent, runs out fast, or the system starts leaking.
Sometimes it’s an ageing cylinder showing its age, other times it’s an undersized or incorrectly installed unit struggling to keep up with the household. We assess whether you need a simple repair or a full upgrade and help you choose the right hot water system, whether electric, gas, or solar, to suit your needs and budget.
Pump and Bore Water System Problems
Many properties in and around Riverhead rely on pumps and bore water rather than being fully on town supply. Pumps that start losing pressure, make odd noises, or stop altogether tend to disrupt daily life quickly.
We’ve seen all sorts of issues: clogged filters, failed seals, air locks, or electrical faults in control panels. Our team handles repairs, maintenance, and new pump installations, making sure your water supply stays reliable.
We also offer advice on proper care so your system stays efficient and your water quality safe all year round.
