🚰 6 THINGS PLUMBERS WISH EVERY HOMEOWNER KNEW

A lot of plumbing problems start small—and knowing what to look out for can help prevent a much bigger headache.

Here are 6 habits worth knowing:
🔧 Keep fats and oils out of your drains.
💧 Don't ignore small leaks or dripping taps.
🚰 Know where your main water shut-off is before you need it.
🚽 Only flush toilet paper—not wipes, paper towels or hygiene products.
🔥 Keep an eye on your hot water cylinder for leaks, rust or unusual noises.
🔩 Check your flexi hoses for wear and tear as a failed flexi is a known cause of serious water damage. (You will find your flexi hoses under your sinks/basins that connect your taps/mixers to the water supply.)

A little preventative maintenance can go a long way towards protecting your home—and your wallet.

💾 Save this post so you've got these tips handy when you need them.

🔧 Plumber or contortionist? 😂

Plumbers: part tradesperson, part contortionist... because somehow the leak is always in the hardest spot to reach!

Under the sink, behind the toilet, squeezed into a cupboard… if there’s a pipe in an awkward spot, you can bet we’ll find a way to get to it. 💪😂

It’s all part of the job, although some days we reckon a plumbing apprenticeship should come with a yoga qualification! 🧘‍♂️🔧

Very proud of our apprentice Cal who has been with us for 6 weeks. We hosted the Minister for Building and Construction last Thursday and Cal was asked to comment about being new to our industry and why she chose this career. Nothing like being put on the spot but she took it in her stride and was a star ⭐️ You have a bright future Cal and we look forward to watching your progress 😊

How many apprentices can cross “chat with the Minister for Building and Construction” off their list in week 6?

Well, Cal can...😅

Just six weeks into her Masterlink apprenticeship, Cal was getting on with her day at her host business, Jason Brown Plumbing and Gas, when Master Plumbers brought Building and Construction Minister Simon Watts to the workshop to mark the rollout of self-certification for plumbers and drainlayers.

When the Minister heard there was an apprentice on site, he wanted to hear from her. A few minutes later, Cal was talking about why she chose plumbing and how she was finding it so far, in front of a room full of industry people (and a reporter!).

“I was definitely caught off guard. I hadn’t expected to be speaking in front of everyone, so I was mainly trying not to overthink it and just answer honestly.”

Cal reckons it was worth it though:
“I think when you’re only six weeks into an apprenticeship, you tend to assume you’re too new to have much of a perspective yet. But being asked about it made me realise there is some value in hearing from people who are right at the beginning.”

We agree, Cal 👏

One of the team has been getting a little creative with the social media lately… 😂
We take our plumbing seriously, but ourselves? Maybe not quite as much.

We’re lucky to have a crew who genuinely enjoy what they do and aren’t afraid to have a bit of a laugh along the way.
Enjoy this one, courtesy of James, our very own budding content creator! 🔧😂

🍂 SPRING’S HERE — time to clear those gutters! 🌿
Winter may be behind us, but it’s probably left a few reminders behind in your gutters!

Old leaves and debris can quickly build up, blocking gutters and downpipes and causing water to overflow where it shouldn’t. A good spring clean now can help prevent drainage problems and unwanted water damage when the next Wellington downpour arrives. 🌧️

And remember — if you’re not confident working up a ladder, leave it to someone who is. 👍
