When Other Plumbers Miss the Problem, We Sniff It Out… (best Perth leak detection)
In his very first on-camera job, new Plumbdog Evan is out in Canning Vale tackling a frustrating roof leak situation that had left the homeowners soaked (and over it).
Several plumbers had come out before — and none of them figured out what was actually causing the issue. Enter Evan. Calm. Clear. Confident. And bang on the money.
🔍 What Evan Found:
1️⃣ Leaking Internal Corner:
Previous plumbers slapped silicone over the old stuff, which never works. Why? Moisture was still present underneath, so the seal never took.
2️⃣ Downpipe Pot Installed Poorly:
It sat too far into the gutter, creating a blockage that guaranteed pooling water — which always means future leaks.
💬 “If you don’t strip it back and dry it out properly, it’ll just keep leaking. Half a job doesn’t cut it — that’s not how we do things at Plumbdog.” – Evan
🛠️ Here’s What Evan Did Right:
• Stripped out the dodgy, old silicone
• Fully dried the internal corner and resealed it properly
• Adjusted the downpipe pot so it sits correctly
• Reassembled the lot with extra fall for better flow
✅ Fixed properly. No bandaids. Just good plumbing.
