What Are the Different Types of Plumbing Services?

 We all know that plumbers can deal with blocked drains and leaks, but they can help with many other things too. 
Here are the different types of plumbing services that a qualified plumber can offer.

Drainage Services

The most common problem that plumbers deal with in this area is blocked drains. Plumbers will be able to clear your blocked drain in almost every case, but if not, they can help with repair or replacement, including:

- French drains and catch basins

- Downpipes and gutters

- Cleaning, maintenance, inspection and testing of sewer systems

- Kitchen and bathroom plumbing.

For commercial drainage problems, plumbers can investigate and diagnose problems with blocked drains, water management, runoff, erosion control, site grading and more.

Water Supply

This area of plumbing involves the supply of both hot and cold water to a building as well as the supply, installation and repair of:

- Hot water systems

- Toilets

- Taps

- Drains

- Pipes

- Sinks and other plumbing fixtures.

It also includes the installation of appliances such as:

- Dishwashers

- Showers

- Other appliances that need a water supply.

Gas Plumbing

That's right, plumbers don't just work with water, they also work with gas. Gas plumbing can include the supply and installation of:

- Gas lines, both to your home and for new gas appliances within your home

- Gas appliances, such as gas heaters, fireplaces, stoves and barbecues

- Gas driers, furnaces and gas hot water systems.

Plumbers can also help to find and repair a problem with your gas lines. If you notice a smell of gas around the house or have a gas appliance that is not working properly, it's important to call a plumber to diagnose and repair the problem as soon as possible. 

Gas leaks can be dangerous, as they have the potential to cause fires and explosions. If you suspect a gas leak, contact our emergency 24/7 service line immediately on 0417 660 041.

If you have a gas appliance, such as a stove, fireplace or hot water heater, it's important to look after it and keep it in good working condition. Plumbers are qualified to help with regular maintenance on all gas appliances.
