4 Reasons to call a Plumber
Sometimes when things go wrong around the house you might be unsure of when to call in a professional and when a DIY job will be sufficient.
If you believe you have any of the following problems, ringing a professional plumber, like Brisbane City Plumbing and Gas, should always be your first step. We’ll help you diagnose the issue and will attend your property as soon as possible if need be.
- Burst water pipes
Burst water pipes can be inconvenient, expensive and cause significant damage. But unfortunately, it’s not always clear that your pipe has burst and is leaking (As the plumbing runs in the walls and under the floor and it can be very difficult to locate the damaged pipe).
If you notice a constant sound of running water, water marks on the ceiling, drops in water pressure or higher-than-normal water bills, it could be possible that you have a burst pipe.

- Blocked toilet
Having a clogged, malfunctioning toilet that can’t be unblocked can be incredibly frustrating, and if you’ve only got one in your home or business, you’ll likely need to get a plumber in as soon as possible.
They have specialist tools and the know-how to determine the cause of the blockage and tackle it effectively.
- Clogged drains
Sometimes it’s easy for drains to block up (and there any many common household items that cause these blockages), unfortunately it’s not always as simple for the drain to be unclogged.
In those cases, it’s definitely necessary to make the most of a plumber’s equipment, including cameras to locate the source of the blockage and a waterjetter to dislodge the obstruction.
- Gas leaks
If you suspect a gas leak in your home or business, then it’s really important to call a plumber as soon as possible. Unless of course you believe an emergency is unfolding, in which case call 000.
