Old pipes, new problems 🚧🚿

Terracotta and cast iron drains = cracking, corrosion, tree roots getting in… and you calling us every year for a jet clean 😅

High pressure jetting works, but it’s a band-aid, not a fix. The real long-term move? Swap those old pipes out for PVC 💪 No corrosion, way better root resistance, decades of trouble-free drains.

Sick of the same blocked drain drama? Let’s sort it properly 👇

Gas Leak Safety: Don’t Ignore the Warning Signs 🔥

Noticed a spike in your gas bill? Getting a whiff of gas around the house? These aren’t things to put off — they could be signs of a gas leak, and gas leaks are a serious safety risk.

Did you know energy providers will sometimes shut off the gas supply to a property if they suspect a leak? This is a safety precaution, but it also means no hot water, no cooking, and no heating until the issue is found and fixed by a licensed gasfitter.

Signs to watch for:
🔸 A rotten egg smell near appliances, meters, or gas lines
🔸 Unexplained increases in your gas bill
🔸 Hissing sounds near gas fittings
🔸 Dead or discoloured vegetation near underground gas lines

If you notice any of these, don’t wait. DPB Plumbing provides licensed gas leak detection and repairs across the Mornington Peninsula, Bayside, and South Eastern suburbs. We’ll track down the source of the problem and get your gas supply back up and running safely.

📞 Get in touch with our team today if you suspect a gas leak at your property.

⚡ BIG changes are coming to Victorian hot water systems.

From 1 March 2027, gas hot water systems must be replaced with electric alternatives once they reach end of life. That means the window to install a new gas system — with lower upfront costs and no rewiring or electrical upgrades — is closing.

If your gas hot water system is ageing, don’t wait for it to fail. Get ahead of the rush and lock in a gas hot water install now, while it’s still your choice.

🚰 Protect Your Home’s Plumbing with a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) 🚰

Did you know that high water pressure can slowly damage your home’s plumbing system without you even knowing?

A properly installed Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) at your water meter helps regulate incoming water pressure, protecting your:

✅ Internal pipework
✅ Tapware and mixers
✅ Toilets and cisterns
✅ Hot water units
✅ Appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines

High water pressure is also one of the leading causes of water hammer – those annoying banging and rattling noises you hear in your pipes when taps or appliances turn off suddenly.

Benefits of installing a PRV include:

✔️ Extending the life of your plumbing fixtures
✔️ Reducing water hammer and noisy pipes
✔️ Minimising the risk of leaks and burst pipes
✔️ Protecting expensive appliances and hot water systems
✔️ Improving overall plumbing system performance

At DPB Plumbing, we can test your water pressure and recommend the best solution to keep your plumbing system protected for years to come.
