Corroded Gas Pipe Pipe Repair Cronulla

Investigating a Strong Gas Smell Around a Cronulla Home's Hot Water System

Recently, Everyday Plumbing was called to a Cronulla property after the homeowner noticed a strong gas smell near their instantaneous gas hot water system. Given the potential hazards and safety risks associated with gas leaks, it was important to quickly identify the source of the problem and make sure the house is safe.

Our team of licensed and insured gas fitters attended the property and carried out a comprehensive gas leak detection service to see if the hot water system was responsible for the smell.

Gas Testing and Diagnosis

Using our advanced and specialised gas testing tools, our team thoroughly inspected the instantaneous gas hot water system and all of the other accessible gas pipes and connections.

Testing confirmed that the hot water unit was working correctly and there were no gas leaks coming from the appliance itself. However, the strong gas smell remained, indicating that a leak is somewhere within the gas supply line.

Further investigation revealed that the leak was coming from a section of copper gas pipe concealed behind a brick wall.

Accessing the Hidden Gas Leak

Locating and repairing concealed gas leaks needs careful planning to minimise damage to this Cronulla home. To access the pipes, our team carefully cut and removed the surrounding bricks using a carbide saw. We took great care to preserve the existing bricks so they can be reinstated after the repair was completed, maintaining the appearance of the wall.

Once our team exposed the hidden gas line, the cause of the problem became immediately obvious.

Repairing The Corroded Gas Pipe

The exposed pipes showed significant corrosion, which had weakened the copper, leading to a substantial gas leak. Corrosion in gas pipes occurs over time due to moisture exposure, environmental factors or aging materials. If left unaddressed, a small leak can quickly become a serious safety hazard.

To restore the integrity of the gas system, we:

Removed the damaged section of corroded copper pipe
Installed new copper gas pipework
Reconnected and secured all fittings
Performed comprehensive gas pressure testing
Confirmed the repair was completely leak-free

Testing & Reinstatement

Once we had repaired the copper pipe, our plumbers tested the entire gas line to make sure it was working correctly and was up to the latest safety codes. The original bricks were also reinstated, leaving the wall looking neat and tidy, restoring the property's gas supply.

Commercial Hot Water System Upgrades Kings Cross

Restoring Hot Water to a 20-Unit Residential Complex in Kings Cross

When a centralised hot water system fails, it can impact all of the residents. That's exactly what happened when the team at Everyday Plumbing was called to a residential unit block in Kings Cross after all hot water services suddenly stopped working.

The building, which consisted of approximately 20 units, relied entirely on a centralised hot water system. With no hot water available throughout the complex, residents were understandably frustrated and required an urgent solution.

Our experienced Sydney plumbers attended the property on Good Friday during the Easter long weekend to investigate the cause of the failure and restore hot water as quickly as possible.

Diagnosing the Cause of the Hot Water Failure

Upon further inspection, our plumbers identified a major failure within the existing commercial hot water system. The heat exchanger had failed, letting water enter the system's electronic components.

As moisture spread throughout the electronics, the system completely broke down. The damaged electrical buttons and wiring no longer worked, preventing the unit from having access to hot water. Our team decided that a full replacement was the only way forward.

Emergency Temporary Hot Water Solution

As an immediate solution, we installed multiple electric hot water systems to create a temporary bypass arrangement. The system we needed was made to order, so it wasn't readily available. While not ideal as a long-term solution, these systems provided functional hot water to the building while we were waiting for the replacement equipment.

Removing the Existing Centralised Hot Water System

Once the new system arrived, our plumbers returned to the property a week later to complete the replacement. The project involved dismantling and removing the existing hot water infrastructure including:

Failed Raypak heat exchanger
Existing 430-litre hot water tank
Associated pipework and components
Damaged mechanical equipment

All of these components were removed manually by hand and safely removed down six flights of stairs.

Installing a New Commercial Hot Water System

We installed a brand new hot water system, designed to provide reliable hot water to all 20 units within the complex.

The installation included:

New commercial hot water system
New pipework throughout
New circulation pumps
Updated exhaust system
System commissioning and testing

Our team made sure that every component was installed to the latest safety standard and thoroughly tested to ensure it is working properly and safely.

The Result

The new centralised hot water system meets the daily demands of residents while offering improved reliability and performance compared to the previous setup.

By responding quickly during the Easter long weekend and implementing a temporary hot water solution, Everyday Plumbing was able to minimise disruption and ensure residents were not left without hot water while waiting for the permanent replacement system.

Gas Hot Water System Upgrade In Potts Point

Our gas fitters recently completed a job in this residential apartment building in Potts Point. The building consisted of 15 units with one central gas hot water system. The existing gas infrastructure and piping were old, which was putting unnecessary pressure on the gas hot water system, resulting in it going into "fault mode" and the residents having no hot water!

Because the system kept going into fault mode and needed manual resetting, tradespeople were repeatedly called back to the site, which led to growing frustration among the residents.

Our Diagnosis

Using the latest tools, our plumbers identified the cause of the low gas supply pressure and noticed that the existing gas pipes were too small to accommodate the high demands of the apartment building - especially during the evenings.

How the Work Was Carried Out

This gas upgrade involved:

Safely isolating the gas supply
Removing the old and undersized pipework
Installing a series of new, larger gas lines
Reconnecting all water meters and the hot water system pipes
Pressure testing the system to ensure it works safely and won't explode or leak
Restarting and testing the heater under load
We issued the property manager a full report and Gas Compliance Certificate

The Solution

We upgraded the gas pipework from the mains connection through to the hot water system. Our team installed a larger 65mm gas line, which safely allowed for gas to flow during peak times.

If you are having issues with your building's gas hot water system or want to upgrade it's infrastructure, our team of licensed and insured gas fitters are here to help. Call us today on (02) 9191 7309 for a comprehensive and free quote.

Entrance Strip Drain Installation Menai

Solving Water Pooling and Flooding at a Menai Strata Property

Our drainage team were recently called to a Strata villa in Menai to investigate ongoing water pooling after heavy rains. The villa's front entrance had a set of steps leading down to the front door, creating a low point where surface and stormwater naturally collected.

Whenever it rained, water would flow down the steps and pool directly in the middle of the entryway. With no drainage system nearby and no path for the water to escape, the water built up against the door and entered underneath the threshold.

The Strata homeowners wanted a permanent drainage solution that would prevent further flooding while maintaining the appearance of the entrance.

Assessing the Drainage Problem

Several factors were contributing to the water pooling issue:

Water flowed directly down the entry steps during rainfall
The surrounding layout prevented water from dispersing left or right
No surface drainage system had been installed near the doorway
Water regularly pooled against the door threshold
Flooding was occurring inside the villa during heavy rain events

Without proper intervention, the recurring water pooling had the potential to damage flooring, door frames, and internal finishes.

Installing a Strip Drain at the Front Entrance

To redirect stormwater away from the villa, our team recommended installing a strip drain across the base of the steps. Our plumbers carefully cut through the existing tiles and concrete slabs beneath to create a channel for the new drainage system to sit in and ran a discharge pipe to the existing stormwater sump approximately 5 metres away.

A Seamless Drainage Solution

After the job was completed, the homeowner was very happy. The final product looked original with the existing build and it eliminated the water pooling problem quickly.
