## What we do not take on
- We are plumbers and gas fitters. We do not do asbestos removal. Where a job requires cutting into material that may contain bonded asbestos, the removal is referred to a licensed asbestos removalist before we continue.
- We do not do roof replacement, tiling, waterproofing membranes as a standalone trade, or electrical work beyond disconnection and reconnection of the systems we install.
- We do not quote plumbing sight-unseen on a job that needs a camera or a pressure test. Where a phone diagnosis is not honest, we say so.
- We do not service commercial kitchens, industrial process pipework, or fire services.
- We do not charge an after-hours surcharge that was not disclosed on the phone before attending.

## Services
- 24/7 emergency plumbing - burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backups, gas smells
- Blocked drains - clearing, jetting, CCTV camera inspection with the footage handed over
- Telling a blockage apart from a property that is simply downstream of a constriction
- Pipe relining, which seals the one part of the system an owner can control
- Hot water repairs and replacement, including long runs in houses extended over decades
- Gas fitting - whole-installation pressure testing, appliance connection, compliance certificates
- Leak detection, starting with whether the water is escaping or arriving

## Hot water brands serviced
Rinnai, Bosch, Rheem, AquaMAX, Dux, Vulcan, Solahart and Stiebel Eltron. Serviced as an
independent licensed plumber, not as an agent for or endorsee of any manufacturer.

## Local knowledge (Eastwood specifics)
- **The defining local fact: the town centre straddles the Main Northern Railway Line**, and its **western portion lies within the depression forming the Terrys Creek floodplain**. Council's own modelling **confirms substantial flood problems** there.
- **A rail embankment is a wall with holes in it.** Water crossing the suburb has to pass the corridor at a small number of culverts and pits rather than on a broad front. That is a capacity limit no householder can see and none of us can influence.
- **The measures Council has considered are all about getting water through**: additional inlet pits in Brabyn Street, improvements to the culvert in Jim Walsh Park, and a feasibility study into a detention basin there.
- **Which side of the corridor a property sits on matters more than how close it is to a creek.** Distance from a watercourse is what people reach for; position relative to the constriction is what decides behaviour.
- **Timing is diagnostic here.** A property that takes water only in the heaviest events and then drains is downstream of a restriction. One that takes water in ordinary rain has its own problem. Those need completely different answers and clearing a clear pipe fixes neither.
- **More than a dozen shops in the Eastwood CBD flooded in one downpour on 18 April 2012.**
- **What an owner can actually influence** is only their own side: whether the pits are clear, where each downpipe truly discharges, whether paving has raised ground against the house, and whether the line leaving the property is sound.
- **The housing is postwar.** Orchards and market gardens were subdivided from the late 1940s as migration drove demand, and the houses have been extended repeatedly since.
- **So the hot water unit is frequently where 1950 put it**, and the run to the newest bathroom is longer than the building looks. A long wait at one tap is a pipe run, not a fault in the cylinder, and a new unit will not shorten it.
- **Gas followed the house rather than preceding it.** A run to the kitchen, another added for a heater, a third with an extension, each by a different person in a different decade. Testing the installation beats certifying an appliance on top of an assumption.
- **The honest limit: we cannot alter, assess or speak for the rail corridor or the public drainage.** Ryde City Council and the rail authority own those. We do not predict floods or quote flood levels.
- Sydney's water is soft, so a failed hot water system here is a spent anode or element rather than limescale.
