Burst Pipe Under Liquid Limestone | Leak Detection & Clever Plumbing Fix

When a burst pipe showed up under a client’s liquid limestone in Duncraig, Rich and Hugh from Plumbdog were called in to track it down.

What started as a “simple” leak detection quickly turned into a head-scratcher thanks to:

•Double-storey construction

•Past renovations

•Limited access around the property

💬 “Leaks never pop up in the easy spots… it’s always the worst-case scenario.”

🔎 Step 1: Sniffing Out the Leak

Armed with our acoustic leak detection gear, Rich and Hugh began tracing the tell-tale sounds of running water beneath the limestone.

Sure enough — they locked in on the burst. But with layers of concrete and tricky layouts, a straight repair wasn’t an option.

🛠️ Step 2: Above & Below Ground Fix

To give the client a practical, semi long-term solution, the boys:

•Rerouted sections of pipework above ground where possible (less digging, less cost)

•Carefully repaired the hidden lines still in use

•Made sure the new layout restored reliable supply without weak points

🧱 Step 3: Neat Finish

The job didn’t stop at the repair:

•Excavated sections were patched and reinstated

•Liquid limestone restored to blend back in

•Site left tidy despite the messy weather (and a windstorm full of leaves 🌬️🍂)

✅ What Made This Job Stand Out

•Expert leak detection under liquid limestone

•Smart mix of temporary + permanent fixes

•Customer left with water back on, plus a neat reinstatement

Bingo! James Tracks Down a Hidden Gas Leak in Hall’s Head

When you suspect a gas leak, time is critical — and experience makes all the difference. This week, James headed to Hall’s Head, WA, to investigate a suspicious smell that had been worrying a homeowner.

📍 Location: Hall’s Head, WA

🚩 The Problem

Right from the start, James had a hunch about where the issue was hiding. The homeowner mentioned:

•The old gas meter had been relocated previously

•The pipework layout didn’t quite make sense

•A strange gas odour kept lingering in the area

James trusted his gut — and decided to dig deeper at the original gas meter site.

🛠️ The Investigation & Fix

With the right tools (and a bit of plumber’s instinct), James quickly tracked the leak:

•Dug down at the original meter location

•Sprayed down the exposed pipe to test for leaks

•Detected a gas odour and spotted bubbles forming

•Confirmed the pipe weld had failed

•Showed the homeowner the issue and prepared the repair

💬 “Sometimes you’ve just got to trust your instincts — I had a feeling it was here, and bingo, we nailed it.”

📌 The Result

•Gas leak confirmed & located safely

•Homeowner reassured with clear evidence

•Repair prepared for a long-term safe solution

This job proves why experience matters — James didn’t waste time chasing shadows. He trusted his training and nose, leading straight to the faulty weld.

Baldivis Washing Machine Leak Fixed – Front Loader Seal Replacement

James was called out to Baldivis after a homeowner noticed water pooling around their laundry floor. A leaky washing machine might seem minor, but left unchecked it can cause bigger headaches like mould, warped flooring, and electrical risks.

🔎 Step 1: Finding the Source

After running a test cycle, James quickly traced the problem back to the front loader door seal — worn and no longer holding a watertight fit.

🛠️ Step 2: The Fix

•Removed the old, perished seal

•Installed a brand-new replacement

•Checked alignment and ensured a proper fit

•Ran a full cycle to confirm no leaks remained

💬 “A simple seal can make a huge difference – no leaks, and the machine’s good as new!”

✅ Step 3: Test & Sign-Off

With the new seal in place, the washing machine ran smoothly, leak-free, and ready for plenty more loads. A quick job that saves the client from ongoing laundry room mess and potential damage.

Trench Plumbing Discovery – Scored Blue Line Poly Pipe Fixed

Darius was out in the trenches replacing a water service line at a client’s development site when a surprising discovery came to light.

What should have been a straightforward replacement turned into a detective job:

•The Blue Line poly pipe (usually one of the most durable options) showed scoring along the entire run

•The damage was unusual enough to warrant a closer look

•Out came the inspection camera to assess just how bad things were

💬 “I’ve installed Blue Line poly hundreds of times – but seeing scoring like this is a first for me.”

🔎 Step 1: Investigation

•Dug down to expose the scored sections

•Used an inspection camera to trace the full length of the damage

•Confirmed the pipe couldn’t be trusted long-term

🛠️ Step 2: Repair & Replacement

•Removed the damaged sections

•Installed fresh, undamaged Blue Line poly

•Carefully backfilled with clean bedding material to protect the new pipe from future wear

✅ Step 3: Testing & Wrap-Up

•Pressure-tested the new installation to confirm reliability

•Left the site tidy and ready for the client’s development to move forward

•Another trench job completed with care, precision, and no shortcuts
