## 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- We do not quote plumbing sight-unseen on a job that needs a camera or a pressure test.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

## Local knowledge (Seven Hills specifics)
- **The defining local fact: the blockages that set hard are a different job.** Wipes, fat and hair are soft and a cable cuts straight through them. **Plaster and render washout, tile adhesive, grout slurry, concrete washout and paint** all pour down a drain easily and then do exactly what they are designed to do, which is **set**.
- **A cable is the wrong tool for cured material.** Spun against a hard build-up it can **polish the inside of the pipe rather than remove it**, so the line looks marginally better for a fortnight and the second visit starts from a smaller opening than the first did.
- **It is usually not where people expect.** Washout goes down whatever tub or gully was nearest at the time and settles at the first change of direction, which is rarely the fixture that is now slow. That is another reason the camera comes before the method.
- **What actually works is jetting, a cutting head, or replacing a section**, and which of those is right depends on what is in the pipe. **We film first.** The first question we ask is whether anybody has been renovating.
- **Prevention is a bucket and a bag.** Nothing that sets goes down any drain, on any job, ever. Wash tools into a bucket, let it settle, bin the solids.
- **Why it lands here: Seven Hills adjoins one of western Sydney's larger industrial and light industrial areas**, so both kinds of plumbing exist side by side. A business discharging anything other than ordinary domestic sewage needs the water authority's approval and **pre-treatment** first: a **grease arrestor** for food premises, an **oil and water separator** for a workshop, a **solids trap** where the discharge carries material. A house has no such device, which is exactly why renovation washout down a domestic drain is a problem rather than a shortcut.
- **The honest limit, stated plainly: we cannot obtain or vary a trade waste agreement for you.** That sits between the business and the water authority, and we do not state their fees or categories.
- **After a clean-out, the surface left behind is the next question.** Set material keys into the pipe wall, and removing it takes some of that surface with it. Rough surfaces catch, so a cleaned-out line sometimes starts collecting faster than before. **Ask to see the footage taken after the clearance, not only before it.** Not every line needs lining, and the after footage is what separates those that do.
- **Slab leaks: a warm patch on the floor is a leak telling you where it is.** On slab-on-ground housing a leaking hot water line heats the concrete above it. Supporting signs are a sound of running water with every tap closed, a hot water system cycling more than it used to, and a bill that has climbed with nothing visibly wet. **Locating comes before opening any concrete**, and re-routing the run is sometimes the better answer than cutting into the slab.
- **Hot water warns you for months and almost nobody listens.** **Rusty hot water with clear cold from the same tap** means the discolouration is coming from inside the cylinder: the anode is consumed and the steel has begun to go. A **rumble on heating** usually means sediment. Neither is an emergency, which is precisely why both get lived with until the unit fails on a weekend.
- **Gas: an unflued appliance vents combustion products into the room it is in**, which is why one is not permitted in a bedroom or a bathroom. In older housing these still turn up, not because anybody installed a heater in a bedroom but because a lounge became one and the heater stayed. A flued appliance has a visible duct; an unflued one has nothing behind it.
- Historic colour: **Seven Hills station opened in 1860** on the Main Western line.
- Sydney's water is soft, so a failed hot water system here is a spent anode or element rather than limescale.
