Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repair
Common signs of a hot water fault:
Cold water from the hot tap
Lukewarm showers
A leaking or weeping tank
Constant dripping from the relief valve
A pilot light that won’t stay lit
Discoloured or rusty water
Strange noises from the system
If the tank is leaking, turn off the cold water valve to it if that’s safe, then call us.
We test the system, explain the cause and give you an upfront price for each option, so there’s no guesswork.
When a repair makes sense
A valve, element, thermostat or igniter has failed
The tank is still sound
When to replace
The tank is leaking or badly corroded
The system no longer suits the home or business
Same-Day Hot Water Replacements
$200 Off Hot Water System Replacement
Mention this offer when you book a full hot water system replacement. Our upfront replacement price includes all required valves (including the tempering valve), and when you call 0435 878 512 you speak with our licensed, experienced team — no call centre. Conditions: replacement only (not repairs or other services), one offer per job, not valid with any other offer, ends 31 December 2026.
When a system is beyond repair, we replace it on the same day. In townhouses and units, the new system has to fit the existing space and connections, so we check those first.
We often recommend Rheem, and we’ll match the type and size to how much hot water you use.

Hot Water Across Northgate
A mix of houses and townhouses. In the 2021 Census, about 57% of Northgate homes were separate houses, 20% were townhouses and 22% were flats or apartments. In a townhouse, the system may sit in a small courtyard or service cupboard, so access and space shape the options.
An established suburb. Land here was first sold in 1890, but most early homes came 20 or more years later, and Northgate was a mature suburb by the 1970s. Older homes can have ageing valves and pipework around the tank, which we check as we go.
Workplaces too. Northgate has industrial areas beside its railway stations. We also handle hot water for business premises, alongside our commercial plumbing work.
How We Fix It
1. Find the Cause
We test the supply, the valves and the heating parts.
2. Agree the Price
You see an upfront price before any work begins.
3. Repair or Replace
We complete the job, check the water heats and test for leaks.
No Hot Water? While You Wait
Turn off the cold supply valve to a leaking tank if it’s safe.
Smell gas? Turn off the gas if it’s safe, ventilate and move away.
Leave the relief valve alone.
Tenants should tell their property manager or landlord.
