A leak stops being about water surprisingly fast. In these houses it turns into rotted bearers, cupped floorboards, blistered paint and a smell that will not shift, and by then you are fixing a building rather than a pipe.

We cover Chester Hill seven days, with same day service from seven kilometres out and 24/7 when something has let go. Finding it early is the cheapest thing you can do.

    About the suburb

    The pipework here spans about eighty years. Original 1940s and 1950s homes may still carry galvanised steel supply lines, which rust from the inside and let go at the threaded joints. Plenty of others were repiped in copper along the way, and the newer duplexes are PEX.

    Floors matter as much as pipes. A lot of the older cottages sit on piers with suspended timber floors, which is a different search to a slab and a different kind of damage. The ground is reactive Cumberland Plain clay, moving with the seasons, and neighbouring Bass Hill and Georges Hall are documented as moderately reactive. Around four in ten households here rent, so quite often the person watching the damage is not the person who owns the pipe.

    Common questions from Chester Hill homeowners

    How do I tell rising damp from a leak?
    Rising damp is usually even along a wall and worst in wet weather. A leak is localised, often warm if it is the hot line, and it does not care what the weather is doing.
    Our place is old fibro. Does that make a leak repair harder?
    It makes us more careful. We work around sheeting rather than cutting into it, and where material genuinely has to come out we tell you that it needs the right licensed trade, not a plumber with a saw.
    The leak is under the house on piers. Is that less damaging than a slab leak?
    Generally yes, because the water has somewhere to go and we can get underneath to see it. Left long enough it still rots bearers and lifts floorboards, so it is not a free pass.
    The wall we share with the next duplex is wet too. Whose leak is it?
    Depends which side the failed pipe is on, and that is exactly what testing settles. We isolate each dwelling in turn so nobody is arguing about it from opinion.
    Does the leak have to be repaired before an insurer will look at the damage?
    They generally want it stopped, since the damage keeps growing otherwise. What we give you is a clear record of the cause and the repair, which is the part of the claim they ask a plumber for.
    Can you come back and check it has dried out after the repair?
    Yes, and on an older timber floor it is worth doing. Fixing the pipe stops the water, it does not dry the structure, and a second look tells you whether anything else needs attention.

    Mustafa runs the business and does this work himself under Plumbers Licence No. 232989C. Sydney born and bred, an owner operator rather than a franchise, insured, with the workmanship guaranteed.

    The photographs and the written notes take extra time on the day and they are not billed as an extra. They exist because six weeks later somebody will ask what caused it, and an opinion remembered is worth much less than a record made at the time.
