Outdoor taps should be easy to reach and built to last.
This Duffy outdoor plumbing job involved several practical improvements around the property.

The front garden tap was upgraded and refitted with an alloy post in a nearby garden bed. This required removing concrete, altering the pipework, installing the new post and reconcreting the area once the new position was complete.

At the rear of the property, the existing garden tap on a wooden post was adjusted, with pipework extended to raise the tap height for easier everyday use.
The team also re-secured another garden tap on a cladded wall, where minor cladding removal was needed to access and stabilise the fitting.

A CCTV drain inspection and location was also completed to investigate drainage concerns on site.

Hot water safety starts with the right valves.
A Water Tight Canberra job in Palmerston identified more than a leaking tap during the home plumbing inspection.

The team found the water pressure was above the maximum permitted 500kPa, and the water heater did not have a tempering valve fitted. These findings were important because high water pressure can place strain on taps, toilets, flexi hoses, valves and hot water system components.

The accepted works included installing a pressure limiting valve to help manage incoming water pressure, fitting a duo valve and installing a mains pressure storage tempering valve for the hot water system.

This job is a good example of how a plumbing maintenance check can identify pressure, valve and hot water safety issues before they become larger problems.

A dripping shower and running toilet both needed attention.
This Campbell bathroom plumbing job started with a dripping shower.

The team attended site to investigate the shower leak and found the shower spindle had failed. Replacement shower taps and handles were provided, the brass seat was shaved back, and new tapware was installed to stop the dripping shower issue.

While onsite, the toilet cistern was also found to be constantly running. Further inspection showed both the inlet valve and outlet valve inside the cistern had failed. Because of the age and condition of the cistern, replacing the outlet valve on its own was not practical, so the complete low-level toilet cistern was replaced.

The toilet repair included a new cistern, isolation valve, flexible hose connector, seat and link. All works were tested on completion, and the toilet was operating correctly with no continuous running.

A blocked toilet can point to a bigger drainage issue.
A Water Tight Canberra job in Rivett involved a blocked downstairs toilet that was not draining properly.

A CCTV drain inspection found the main sewer line was blocked by severe tree root intrusion. The blockage was cleared using a jetter, and further investigation found the toilet branch line had collapsed below the slab.

This is why recurring blocked toilets, slow drains and sewer blockages should be properly inspected. The issue may not be the toilet itself. Tree roots, cracked pipework, collapsed drain lines and hidden sewer damage can all cause repeated drainage problems.

If you are dealing with a blocked toilet, blocked sewer drain, tree roots in pipes, slow-draining fixtures or recurring drainage issues in Canberra, Water Tight Canberra can help with CCTV drain inspections and practical drainage repairs.

One leaking mixer led to a wider plumbing check.
Water Tight Canberra completed a job in Palmerston that started with a leaking kitchen mixer tap.

During the inspection, the team also checked the other plumbing fixtures in the home and found several maintenance issues. The kitchen mixer was leaking from the handle into the cupboard below, the bathroom basin mixer had rusting flex hoses with water present in the cabinet, the toilet inlet hose was rusted and showing signs of leaking, and the rear garden tap was also leaking.

The inspection also found no tempering valve fitted to the water heater and water pressure above the maximum permitted 500kPa.
The accepted work included replacing the kitchen mixer, basin mixers, toilet inlet valve, hose tap, installing a duo valve and pressure limiting valve, and fitting a mains pressure storage tempering valve.

Reliable hot water matters in multi-level buildings.
A Water Tight Canberra job in Phillip involved a commercial hot water plant room upgrade for a multi-level residential complex.

The project included replacing hot water plant equipment with new Rinnai systems and completing the required plumbing works to get the system running and commissioned for the building.
For strata buildings, apartment complexes and commercial properties in Canberra, reliable hot water systems are essential. Ageing hot water plant, leaking fittings, pressure issues, failed valves or inconsistent hot water can affect multiple residents, tenants or users at once.

This is why planned hot water system replacement and commercial plumbing maintenance matter. Proper coordination, safe work planning and experienced licensed plumbers help reduce disruption and keep essential services operating.

Shower leaks can spread beyond the bathroom.
A Water Tight Canberra job in O’Connor involved investigating a leaking upstairs shower, with water escaping from the bathroom and affecting the carpet outside.

The shower leak test found failed waterproofing, leaking around the shower floor area and water seeping from the base of the shower screen. The inspection also identified damaged grout, water damage to surrounding skirting boards and door architraves, mould or fungal growth in the carpet, damaged gyprock and rotten flooring.

For Canberra homes, shower leaks should be checked properly before the damage spreads. Signs can include wet carpet near the bathroom, loose grout, leaking shower screens, damp flooring, musty smells or water marks around door frames.

Spring is a good time to check what winter left behind.

Spring has arrived in Canberra, making it a practical time to check your home’s plumbing after the colder months.

Winter can place extra strain on hot water systems, outdoor taps, pipework, drainage lines and older plumbing fixtures. Small issues such as slow drains, leaking taps, damp patches, low water pressure or inconsistent hot water can become easier to notice once the weather starts to warm up.

A spring plumbing check can help identify minor problems before they turn into bigger repairs. It is also a useful time to look at stormwater drains, garden taps, toilets, mixers and any areas where water should not be pooling.

A new gas stove needs the right connections before installation.
A recent Water Tight Canberra job involved preparing for the installation of a new 90cm Smeg freestanding gas and electric stove.

The existing gas/electric stove needed to be disconnected, and the new unit required gas reconnection and commissioning. During the site visit, the team confirmed the new oven had a 15 amp plug while the existing oven was hard wired.

An electrician was organised to install the correct power point first, with Water Tight Canberra booked to return the same morning to complete the gas stove installation using the required flexible hose connection.

For Canberra homes, gas appliance installation needs proper checks, safe gas reconnection and commissioning before use.
