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. 🐾
