Emergency & fault response

Emergency & fault response services

These services help when water, pressure or pipework problems need quick understanding and a practical repair route. The aim is to control damage first, then identify whether the issue is isolated or part of a wider system fault.

Burst pipe repairs

Burst pipe repair with damaged water line opened and repaired during emergency plumbing work.
Burst pipe repair image showing damaged pipework opened for repair.

Burst pipe repair starts with pressure control, visible leak assessment and access planning. The plumber checks pipe material, joint condition, wall or floor access, and whether the failure needs a coupling repair, replacement section, reroute or pressure-related investigation.

What to look for: Watch for sudden water on floors, wet cupboards, damp ceilings, hissing pipe sounds, pressure drops or water surfacing from walls, paving or soil.

Maintenance tip: Label or memorise the main stop tap, geyser shutoff and fixture isolation valves so water can be controlled quickly during a fault.

Leak detection image showing water surfacing through paving from a hidden underground leak.

Leak detection focuses on symptoms that are not always obvious. A hidden leak may show as damp smells, peeling paint, mould, soft flooring, rising water bills, pressure changes or a wet patch that returns after cleaning. The aim is to narrow the likely source before opening walls, floors or paving, so the repair can be targeted and disruption can be kept as low as possible.

What to look for: Look for unexplained meter movement, damp marks, bubbling paint, mouldy smells, warm floor patches or pressure loss when no taps are open.

Maintenance tip: Take a water meter reading before bed and again in the morning when no water was used; movement can indicate a hidden leak.

Ask about leak detection

Pipe repairs

Underground leaking pipe repair after excavation and isolation.

Pipe repairs can involve copper, PVC, HDPE, galvanized pipe or other materials, and each needs a suitable repair approach. The repair should consider access, pressure, age, joint condition and whether the pipe failed because of wear, movement, corrosion, impact or poor installation. A small repair may solve the issue, but repeated failures often point to a wider pipework problem.

What to look for: Signs include visible leaks, damp ground, water stains, pipe noise, pressure loss or water appearing around cupboards, ceilings and walls.

Maintenance tip: Do not cover a newly repaired pipe immediately if monitoring is needed; allow time to confirm the joint remains dry.

Ask about pipe repairs

Pipe replacement

Replacement of old underground pipework opened in a trench beside a building.
Pipe replacement underway with old damaged line exposed for removal and renewal.

Pipe replacement is considered when the existing line is too damaged, corroded, poorly routed or unreliable to keep patching. The goal is not only to stop the current leak, but to improve the long-term reliability of the water or drainage route. Planning includes material choice, access, wall or floor impact, isolation points and how future maintenance will be handled.

What to look for: Repeated leaks in the same area, rust, brittle pipework, poor pressure and old galvanized lines may indicate replacement is more practical.

Maintenance tip: When replacing old pipework, consider adding accessible isolation points to make future repairs easier.

Water pressure repairs

New pressure control valves ready for water pressure repair work.
Pressure control components prepared for water pressure repairs.

Water pressure repairs start by confirming whether the issue affects one fixture, one area or the whole property. Causes can include faulty pressure valves, hidden leaks, blocked strainers, municipal supply changes, pipe restrictions, undersized pipework or failing pumps. A proper check helps avoid replacing the wrong component.

What to look for: Notice whether pressure drops at all taps, only hot water, upstairs fixtures, garden taps or when more than one outlet is used.

Maintenance tip: Write down when pressure changes happen; time patterns can help identify supply or system-related causes.

Learn more about Water pressure repairs

Emergency plumbing

Emergency plumbing repair with exposed copper pipework accessed for urgent repair.

Emergency plumbing work is handled as a fault-control process. The first checks are the main stop tap, local isolation valves, geyser isolator, overflow route, trap level, pipe material and whether the fault is pressurised supply water, waste backup or a hot-water safety component.

What to look for: Treat a fault as urgent when water is under pressure, a toilet or gully is rising, a sewer line is pushing back, a geyser tray is discharging, a valve is dripping continuously or a pipe section has split.

Maintenance tip: Label the main stop tap, geyser supply valve and fixture isolation points so water can be controlled quickly while access for the repair is being prepared.

Learn more about Emergency plumbing

Pipe rerouting

Copper water lines rerouted through an opened wall cavity during pipe rerouting work.
Pipe rerouting carried out by opening the wall and repositioning copper lines.

Pipe rerouting can solve repeated leaks, poor access, renovation changes, damaged lines or pipework placed in unsuitable areas. A reroute should be planned around access, pressure, fixture positions and how the new route can be maintained. It can sometimes be more sensible than repeatedly opening the same wall or floor.

What to look for: Consider rerouting when a pipe runs through a damaged area, under difficult flooring or where future access is nearly impossible.

Maintenance tip: During renovations, plan new pipe routes before cupboards, tiles or ceilings are closed.

Learn more about Pipe rerouting

Drains, sewer & stormwater

Drains, sewer & stormwater services

Drainage problems are not all the same. A blocked kitchen drain, outside gully, sewer line fault or stormwater issue each needs a different approach, especially when the problem keeps returning.

Blocked drain cleaning

Blocked drain cleaning image showing the outside drain opening during inspection and cleaning work.

Blocked drain cleaning is diagnosed by fixture and line position. A sink trap, shower waste, outside gulley, toilet branch and main drain each point to different causes such as grease, scale, roots, sand, poor fall, foreign objects or damaged pipework.

What to look for: Look for slow draining, gurgling sounds, water pushing up through another fixture, outside gullies overflowing or recurring drain odours.

Maintenance tip: Avoid pouring fats, oils and food waste down kitchen drains because they cool, stick and build up inside pipework.

Ask about blocked drain cleaning

Blocked toilet clearing

Blocked toilet clearing image showing standing water inside a toilet bowl during blockage diagnosis by Plumb A Nator.
Blocked toilet clearing image showing the toilet bowl with standing water during diagnosis.

A blocked toilet should be treated differently from a leaking or running toilet. The immediate goal is to stop overflow risk, clear the pan or waste line safely and check whether the blockage is isolated to the toilet or connected to a deeper drain problem. If the same toilet blocks repeatedly, the cause may be further down the line rather than inside the pan itself.

What to look for: Water rising in the bowl, slow flushing, gurgling, repeated blockages or water backing up into another fixture can point to a toilet or drain-line restriction.

Maintenance tip: Avoid flushing wipes, sanitary products, cotton buds, food waste or other items that do not break down easily.

Learn more about Blocked toilet clearing

Sewer line repairs

Sewer line repairs image showing a damaged broken drain or sewer fitting at ground level during plumbing inspection by Plumb A Nator.
Sewer line repairs image showing the damaged sewer or drain fitting during inspection.

Sewer line repairs need careful handling because hygiene, odour, access and long-term flow all matter. A sewer fault may be caused by roots, breaks, collapsed pipework, poor installation or ground movement. The repair should address the failing section and not only clear the immediate symptom, especially where backups keep returning.

What to look for: Watch for recurring toilet blockages, sewer smells, wet ground near sewer routes, slow fixtures or outside overflow.

Maintenance tip: Do not ignore repeated sewer backups; recurring symptoms usually mean the underlying cause has not been resolved.

Learn more about Sewer line repairs

Stormwater drainage

Stormwater drainage image showing a plumber inside a manhole or drainage chamber during inspection and maintenance by Plumb A Nator.
Stormwater drainage image showing inspection work inside the drainage chamber.

Stormwater drainage deals with rainwater that does not move away from the property properly. Poor stormwater control can affect paving, driveways, gardens, walls, foundations and low-lying rooms. The solution may involve clearing existing drains, correcting routes, adding collection points or improving how water is directed away from buildings.

What to look for: Look for pooling after rain, water running toward doors, soggy ground, blocked channels or paving that stays wet.

Maintenance tip: Clear leaves and debris from stormwater drains before heavy rain seasons.

Learn more about Stormwater drainage

Greywater system plumbing

Greywater system plumbing with pump and connected pipework beside a storage tank.
Greywater system plumbing with pump, valves and connected pipework.

Greywater system plumbing needs careful separation, routing and realistic planning. Water from baths, showers or washing machines may be reused in limited ways, but it must be handled responsibly. The design should consider odour, filtration, access, maintenance and keeping greywater away from clean water supply.

What to look for: Check which fixtures produce greywater, where it will be directed and whether the route can be maintained.

Maintenance tip: Greywater systems need regular cleaning and should not be treated as maintenance-free.

Learn more about Greywater system plumbing

Septic tank plumbing

Septic tank plumbing image showing the brick septic tank excavation during installation work.

Septic tank plumbing requires careful attention to waste flow, odour, access, drainage routes and responsible connection of fixtures. Problems can become unpleasant quickly if the system backs up or if lines are poorly routed. Repairs and additions should consider the whole waste path, not only one blocked point.

What to look for: Watch for slow drains, odours, wet ground near the system, gurgling fixtures or sewage backing up.

Maintenance tip: Avoid flushing items that do not break down easily because they can disrupt septic systems.

Learn more about Septic tank plumbing

Geysers, valves & energy systems

Geysers, valves & energy systems services

Geysers, valves, heat pumps and solar systems all depend on pressure, safety components, access and correct setup. These services focus on reliable hot-water performance and long-term serviceability.

Geyser repairs

Geyser repair close-up showing thermostat and electrical component access during repair work.
Geyser repair detail showing thermostat and element access for fault diagnosis.

Geyser repairs require careful symptom checking because several faults can look similar from the outside. No hot water, overheating, dripping overflow, repeated tripping, weak pressure or strange noises may point to valves, elements, thermostats, pressure control, wiring support or cylinder condition. The aim is to find the likely cause before replacing parts unnecessarily or recommending a full replacement too soon.

What to look for: Common signs include cold water, inconsistent temperature, leaking overflow, water marks near the drip tray or electrical trips linked to hot-water use.

Maintenance tip: Do not ignore a constantly dripping overflow because it can waste water and may indicate a pressure or valve issue.

Learn more about Geyser repairs

Geyser replacements

Geyser replacement image showing the installed hot-water cylinder and copper pipework.

Geyser replacement becomes practical when the existing unit is old, leaking, repeatedly failing or no longer worth repairing. The replacement decision should consider the system size, location, current valve setup, drainage route, support, energy use and future access. A good replacement gives the customer a safer and more manageable hot-water setup instead of simply putting a new cylinder into an old problem.

What to look for: Repeated call-outs, visible corrosion, leaking cylinders, unreliable heating and ageing installations are signs replacement may be more sensible than another repair.

Maintenance tip: Keep the model, size and installation date recorded so future servicing and warranty questions are easier to handle.

Learn more about Geyser installation

Pressure valve replacement

Geyser valve replacement image showing the replacement valve fitted on top of the geyser with connected copper pipework by Plumb A Nator.
Geyser valve replacement image showing the installed valve and connected copper pipework.

Pressure valve replacement helps protect geysers, pipework and fixtures from pressure that is too high or unstable. A failing valve can contribute to dripping overflows, noisy pipes, poor system performance or damage to connected components. The replacement should match the system requirements and be checked as part of the wider installation environment.

What to look for: Signs include noisy pipes, dripping relief points, changing pressure, geyser overflow issues or repeated valve-related faults.

Maintenance tip: Do not replace pressure components blindly; check whether the valve is the cause or only showing another system problem.

Learn more about Pressure valve replacement

Geyser valve replacement

Geyser valve replacement image showing the replacement valve fitted on top of the geyser with connected copper pipework by Plumb A Nator.
Geyser valve replacement image showing the installed valve and connected copper pipework.

Geyser valve replacement may be needed when safety, pressure or control valves start leaking, sticking or failing. These valves play an important role in safe operation, so they should be checked in relation to the full geyser setup. Replacing a valve without checking pressure and drainage can leave the original issue unresolved.

What to look for: Look for constant dripping, overflow discharge, pressure changes, unusual noises or water around the geyser area.

Maintenance tip: Ask for the surrounding geyser components to be checked when a valve is replaced.

Learn more about Pressure valve replacement

Heat pump installation

Heat pump installation with connected hot-water equipment in a service area.

Heat pump installation requires planning around water connections, electrical support, airflow, drainage, space and service access. The system should suit household demand and the existing hot-water setup. A good installation considers both performance and maintenance, not only the purchase of the unit.

What to look for: Check available space, airflow, geyser compatibility, electrical requirements and where condensate or drainage will go.

Maintenance tip: Keep the heat pump area clear so airflow and maintenance access are not restricted.

Learn more about Pump installation

Solar geyser installation

Solar geyser installation with evacuated tubes and storage cylinder mounted on a roof.
Solar geyser installation on a roof with collector tubes and storage cylinder.

Solar geyser installation should consider roof position, available space, household demand, pressure, valves and maintenance access. The right option depends on the property and how hot water is used each day. Proper planning helps avoid a system that is too small, poorly positioned or difficult to service later.

What to look for: Review roof direction, shading, geyser age, water pressure, daily demand and access before choosing a system.

Maintenance tip: Do not choose a solar geyser only by price; size, placement and serviceability matter.

Toilet Repairs service image for Plumb A Nator.

Toilet repairs cover running water, weak flushing, leaking pans, inlet valve problems, outlet issues, loose seats, cistern faults and seal failures. A toilet fault can waste water continuously or create hygiene concerns if ignored. The correct repair depends on whether the issue is inside the cistern, around the pan connection, at the water supply or in the waste line.

What to look for: Watch for water running into the pan, rocking toilets, sewer smells, water around the base, slow refilling or poor flushing.

Maintenance tip: Food, wipes and sanitary products should not be flushed because they can create repeat blockages.

Learn more about Toilet repairs

Toilet installation

Toilet installation image showing the pan base area and waste opening during plumbing work.

Toilet installation requires more than placing a pan and connecting water. The outlet alignment, floor level, sealing, cistern feed, available space and finished bathroom layout all affect the result. A neat installation should be stable, comfortable to use, easy to maintain and properly connected so it does not create leaks or smells later.

What to look for: Before replacing a toilet, check the outlet position, available space, floor condition and whether the existing supply pipe needs adjustment.

Maintenance tip: Choose a toilet that matches the existing waste outlet where possible to reduce unnecessary floor or wall changes.

Tap Repairs service image for Plumb A Nator.

Tap repairs may involve dripping outlets, stiff handles, noisy operation, leaking bases, worn washers, damaged cartridges or failing seats. A small drip can waste a surprising amount of water over time and may also damage cupboards, vanities or countertops. The repair approach depends on the tap type and whether parts are still available.

What to look for: Look for dripping, water around the base, squeaking handles, uneven flow or taps that no longer close properly.

Maintenance tip: Do not overtighten a leaking tap handle; it can damage internal parts and make the repair more expensive.

Mixer tap installation

Mixer Tap Installation plumbing service image for Plumb A Nator.
Mixer Tap Installation service image for Plumb A Nator.

Mixer tap installation needs correct hot-and-cold connection, secure mounting and neat finishing around the basin, sink, bath or shower point. The installation should also consider pressure compatibility, access below the fixture and whether old pipework or isolation valves need attention. A good mixer installation should feel solid, operate smoothly and be serviceable later.

What to look for: Check whether the existing connections are accessible, whether isolation valves work and whether the old mixer has damaged the mounting surface.

Maintenance tip: Install or maintain isolation valves under sinks and basins so future tap repairs are easier.

Learn more about Mixer tap installation

Shower repairs

Shower Repairs plumbing service image for Plumb A Nator.
Shower Repairs service image for Plumb A Nator.

Shower repairs can involve leaking mixers, poor pressure, blocked shower heads, loose fittings, drainage issues, cracked seals or water escaping into surrounding walls and floors. The visible problem may be small, but shower leaks can damage tiles, cupboards, ceilings and adjoining rooms if left unresolved. The repair should focus on the actual leak path, not only the visible water.

What to look for: Watch for damp walls, loose tiles, mould around corners, slow drainage, leaking mixers or water appearing outside the shower area.

Maintenance tip: Keep silicone joints and grout in good condition because failed seals can allow water to travel behind finishes.

Learn more about Shower repairs

Shower installation

Shower Installation plumbing service image for Plumb A Nator.
Shower Installation service image for Plumb A Nator.

Shower installation should be planned around drainage fall, mixer height, water supply, waterproofing risk, access and the way the space will be used daily. Poor planning can lead to leaks, uncomfortable use, slow drainage or difficult maintenance. A good installation balances appearance with practical service access and reliable water control.

What to look for: Before installation, confirm drain position, water points, floor slope, wall condition and whether the shower area can be sealed properly.

Maintenance tip: Plan the mixer and shower outlet positions before tiling so the finished layout feels natural to use.

Service questions

Helpful answers for choosing the right plumbing service.

These questions are written for customers who know something is wrong, but may not yet know which plumbing service to request. The goal is to make the next step clearer before a booking is made.

What if I choose the wrong service on the form?

That is not a problem. Choose the closest option and describe the symptom in your own words. The description helps us understand whether the issue is a pipe fault, drain issue, geyser problem, fixture repair, appliance connection or installation request.

Should I request a repair or replacement?

Start with the age of the item, how often it has failed and what the current symptom looks like. A single leaking tap, valve or pipe section may only need repair, while repeated geyser faults, corroded pipework or recurring blockages can make replacement the more sensible long-term option.

Can one visit cover more than one plumbing task?

Yes. If you have several small issues, list them together when you send the request. A visit can often include checks on taps, toilets, drains, valves, appliance points, pressure concerns or geyser symptoms, depending on the parts and time required.

How should I describe a hidden leak?

Mention where the dampness appears, when you first noticed it, whether the water meter moves when taps are closed and whether the area is near a bathroom, kitchen, geyser, garden line or outside wall. Photos of the mark, floor, wall or meter can also help.

Do installations need planning before the quote?

Most installations benefit from a few details first: photos, measurements, fixture type, access, existing pipe positions and whether old items must be removed. This helps reduce surprises on site and makes it easier to advise on the correct parts or preparation.

Are maintenance plumbing calls useful if nothing is broken yet?

Yes. Maintenance calls can catch small leaks, worn valves, slow drains, failing flexi-connectors, loose fittings or ageing geyser components before they become emergency call-outs. This is especially useful for rental properties, complexes, shops and busy homes.

When is a blocked drain more serious than a normal blockage?

A drain becomes more serious when more than one fixture is affected, water pushes back through another outlet, sewer smells are present, or the same line blocks repeatedly. Those signs can point to a deeper line issue, roots, collapsed pipework or a main drain restriction.

What should I do first if a pipe bursts?

Turn off the closest isolation valve or main stop tap only if it is safe to reach. Keep clear of damp plug points and switchgear, move loose items out of the wet area, and send a short video showing the leak rate, valve position and affected fixture.

Why does my geyser overflow keep running?

A constantly running overflow may be linked to pressure control, a relief valve, thermostat behaviour, expansion or another component in the geyser setup. It should be checked because continuous water loss can increase costs and may point to a fault that gets worse.

Can low water pressure be fixed?

Often, yes, but the cause must be narrowed down first. Low pressure can come from municipal supply changes, blocked strainers, old pipework, hidden leaks, pressure valves, pump issues or restrictions that only affect certain fixtures. The pattern of the pressure drop is important.

Do appliance connections need a plumber?

It is a good idea when water supply and drainage are involved. Washing machines and dishwashers need secure feeds, proper waste routing and accessible isolation so a small hose or trap issue does not damage cupboards, flooring or nearby electrical points.

What is the difference between drain unblocking and sewer line repair?

Drain unblocking restores flow through a blocked line, while sewer line repair deals with damage or failure in the pipe itself. If the same sewer line keeps blocking, clearing it may only be temporary until the underlying pipe condition is checked.

Should I install a JoJo tank, pump or both?

That depends on how you want to use stored water. A tank stores water, while a pump helps move it with usable pressure. The right setup depends on the source, available space, household demand, pressure needs, overflow route and how the backup supply should connect.

What plumbing should be planned before a bathroom or kitchen renovation?

Plan fixture positions, water points, waste routes, isolation valves, appliance connections, geyser impact and access before tiling or cabinetry begins. It is much easier to correct plumbing while walls, floors and cupboards are still open.

How do I know if I need commercial maintenance plumbing?

If a shop, office, complex or facility has high-use bathrooms, staff kitchens, repeated blockages, pressure complaints or small leaks that keep returning, planned maintenance can reduce disruption. It also helps managers budget for repairs before they become urgent.
