Plumbers use advanced, non-invasive tools to detect hidden leaks without causing unnecessary damage to your property. Acoustic listening devices help identify the sound of water escaping from pipes, while infrared cameras detect temperature variations that may indicate moisture or leaks behind walls. Moisture meters measure the level of dampness in walls and floors, pinpointing areas where leaks are likely. Some plumbers also use tracer gases or pressure testing to locate difficult leaks in underground or inaccessible areas. These methods allow for accurate and efficient leak detection, saving time and preventing extensive water damage.

Council approval for a bathroom renovation depends on the extent of the work. Minor updates such as replacing fixtures, retiling or painting usually do not require approval. However, if the renovation involves altering the layout, moving plumbing or electrical outlets or making structural changes, you may need permits to comply with building codes and regulations. Waterproofing and drainage changes also require compliance checks. Consult with your plumber or builder early in the planning process to determine whether approvals are necessary and ensure all work meets legal and safety requirements.

Water tanks should be cleaned and inspected every 2-3 years to maintain water quality and ensure the system operates effectively. Cleaning removes sediment, algae, leaves and other debris that can accumulate over time, affecting the taste and safety of the stored water. Regular maintenance also includes checking the tank’s structural integrity, inspecting filters, screens and pipes and ensuring the tank is sealed to prevent contamination from pests or debris. Keeping gutters clean and installing first-flush diverters can further reduce the amount of debris entering the tank. A licensed plumber can perform a thorough cleaning and maintenance check to keep your tank in optimal condition.
