The plumbing team at Everyday Plumbing were called out to a strata complex of villas in Kirrawee. This complex of villas had been experiencing multiple burst pipes and it was causing issues or the residents.
Our Assessment Of The Pipes
When dealing with repeated burst pipes, it's important to look beyond the initial damage and assess the condition of the entire system. Our plumbers carried out a detailed inspection of the affected areas and reviewed the history of recent pipe failures throughout the complex.
Recurring burst pipes can often be linked to factors like:
- Aging infrastructure
- Corrosion
- Excessively high water pressure
- Environmental factors like ground movement
- Hidden leaks
Developing a Cost-Effective Solution
Rather than reacting to each burst pipe when they happen, our plumbers worked together to come up with a proactive plumbing strategy. Our recommendations focused on improving the reliability of the complex's water infrastructure while helping to minimise future maintenance costs and emergency call-outs.
Our plan considered:
- The age and condition of the villa's existing pipes and plumbing systems
- Long-term maintenance needs
- Minimising disruption to the residents
- Reducing future burst pipes
- Protecting the complex and the villas from water damage
Once we had assessed the plumbing, we installed a pressure-reducing valve. This valve is used to lower and stabilise incoming water pressure, protecting the complex's plumbing from dangerously high pressure.
The Result
By using our advanced tools to investigate the underlying causes of the repeated burst pipes, Everday Plumbing delivered a long-lasting and effective solution.
