The first check we do is with your toilet suite.
With some toilet cisterns, something else will go wrong shortly after one thing goes wrong. The result can be effective service or completely replacing the whole cistern. The typical things that go wrong with your toilet unit include constantly filling, water running into the pan, water spilling onto the floor, and buttons sticking.
Proactively checking for these issues is crucial as it will identify if you are unknowingly wasting water, driving your water bill higher or ruining your toilet completely.
You use your taps every day, but how often do you check them? By checking all the fixtures in your house, we can ensure they are operating correctly and won’t require expensive replacements later on.
One of the most common issues is the washers not being installed properly and wearing out quickly. This is because they are not ‘seated’ properly. Not only will they wear out faster if they are not seated correctly, but the tap itself will get damaged and need to be replaced entirely.
You can avoid this by doing a routine check to ensure they are in good working order. Performing a plumbing health check now may save you lots of money and time.
A blocked drain is one of the most common problems in plumbing. It can be cleared with a plunge, which is as simple as a blocked toilet. However, an underlying problem may have often caused the blockage, which must be addressed with greater importance. Examples of blockages include tree roots growing through the drain, grease, incorrect installation, or damage to the drain itself.
In these cases, a professional is required as a drain machine, or jetter will be needed to unblock and clean your drain. These machines will clear the blockage and eliminate grease or tree roots within the drain.
In addition, the advantage of a professional is that we can have a camera inspection after all drain cleans to determine the cause of the blockage. This way, we can fix the problem proactively to ensure no blockages result in much more complex and expensive work.

One of Australia’s most significant home insurance claims involves burst flexi hoses. If the braiding on the hose becomes rusty and frays, it will no longer contain the rubber hose within it. As a result, they often burst at night when the pressure is higher. This means flooding is more common while you are asleep!
Not only is this an inconvenience, but it is also incredibly costly. We can help you avoid this by routinely checking your hoses and installing our burst-proof flexi hoses today.
A poorly installed dishwasher will reduce the life of the unit. Most homeowners are blissfully unaware that their dishwashers are installed incorrectly.
The wastewater for the dishwasher must be run a sure way to ensure the hose stays clear and reduces strain on the discharge pump. If not installed correctly, it can be a silent money waste as the unit will not run at optimum capacity.
At Woolf Plumbing & Gas, we can identify and repair old or faulty dishwasher connections.
A well-maintained hot water unit has many benefits. The first and most important thing is safety. Hot water systems that are dirty and burning incorrectly will produce carbon monoxide. This gas is poisonous and can put your family in danger. For this reason alone, a regular check is critical.
Second, your unit has many safety devices, and they all have a job to do. They must be checked regularly to ensure they are working correctly.
Finally, looking after your storage hot water system will also increase lifespan. A well-maintained unit can last for 20 years. However, a hot water system that is not maintained or serviced has an average lifespan of 8-12 years.
There isn’t much better than a nice, powerful shower. But this can come at an expense. Did you know that the water pressure in a domestic house should be 500kpa? Pressure exceeding this will put excess strain on all the fittings and fixtures within the property, reducing the lifespan and, in most cases, voiding the manufacturer’s warranty. High pressure is the most common cause of burst flexi hoses and water hammers.
Let us check your water pressure to avoid this.
