🔥 Hot Water Service Relocation in Blackburn
Another hot water service relocation completed in Blackburn, getting the tenant back up and running before the weekend.

The existing HWS had been installed too close to the heater, making access to the gas isolation valve extremely difficult. During the gas safety check, a gas leak was identified at the HWS gas isolation valve, and the existing installation also had an issue with the required flue clearance.

The HWS flue requires a minimum 500mm clearance from obstructions, but the existing setup only had 240mm.

The solution was to relocate the HWS to the only suitable position, between the back door and fence, allowing the required clearances to be achieved.

This meant completely altering the pipework, including:
🔧 Relocating the gas line
💧 Running new hot and cold water pipework along the back wall
🔥 Upsizing a section of the gas line under the floor to ensure adequate gas flow to the appliance
🛠️ Clipping and securing all pipework correctly
❄️ Lagging the hot water pipework

Once the relocation was complete, the gas line was thoroughly tested with zero leaks detected. The water was turned back on, the HWS was relit and fully tested, and the tenant had their hot water restored before the weekend.

From identifying the issue to completing the relocation, another job completed within the same week the issue was found
Safe, compliant and built to last. 👌

Gas line renewal done and dusted in Thomastown!

A gas leak was discovered on the main gas line after everything had been isolated. With the existing galvanised pipework showing its age and the line being undersized feeding three appliances through 20mm pipe it was time for an upgrade.

With extremely tight access underneath the property, I was able to get the job completed for the tenant within 24 hours from identifying the leak, providing the quote, through to completing the replacement.

The old gas line was replaced with a new copper gas line, bringing the pipework up to standard and getting all three appliances back up and running.

Another gas line upgraded, another leak sorted, and a very happy renter! 👌

Another hot water service was found during a safety check to have been installed too close to a combustible surface. The unit was relocated onto the deck on the opposite side, ensuring all required clearance distances were achieved and bringing the installation into compliance.

The new location also allows the client to extend the deck through to the corner as planned. It was recommended that the section of decking around the Overflow Relief Gully (ORG) remain removable to ensure the ORG remains accessible for future inspection and maintenance.

Some before and afters. This gas line was temporarily capped on Wednesday and was repaired and replaced the following day. During the gas safety check, it was also identified that the hot water service was installed too close to an openable window. The unit was relocated to the right to achieve the required minimum 500 mm clearance in accordance with regulations.

Following the repairs, the gas installation was fully tested, with no leaks detected. The tenant was pleased to have both hot water and heating restored within 24 hours, especially during Melbourne’s cold winter weather.

🚨 Friday afternoon emergency? No worries! 🚨

A landlord called with every property owner’s worst nightmare before the weekend—a gas leak and no hot water for the tenants.

I was able to get there quickly, locate and repair the gas leak, then carry out a full pressure test to ensure the gas installation was safe and completely leak-free.

The hot water service was also diagnosed and repaired by replacing a failed plastic mixing spindle, saving the owner the cost of replacing the entire unit.

✅ Gas leak repaired safely
✅ Hot water service repaired
✅ Heating and hot water restored quickly
✅ Happy tenants and a relieved property owner before the weekend
