Dan from Plumbdog heads out to Caversham to repair a leaking reticulation main supply line feeding the irrigation solenoids.
After a previous inspection found a leak in the main supply, the solution was to replace the damaged supply pipe and install a new duo valve with backflow protection. This keeps the irrigation system running properly while also protecting the home’s potable water supply.
Working in 35°C Perth heat, Dan digs a trench, removes the old pipework, and installs a much cleaner and safer setup.
