Tell us which when you ring, because it changes the job. In town, your water comes from the mains at mains pressure. On acreage it usually comes from a rainwater tank through a pump, so low pressure might be the pump rather than the pipes, and a filter has to deal with whatever washes off the roof.
If you're not sure, look for a water meter near the front boundary. A house on town water has one. A house running on a tank usually doesn't.
Rainwater picks up dust, leaves and whatever else is on the roof before it reaches the tank. A filter setup for tank water usually starts with a sediment filter to catch the grit, then a carbon filter for taste and smell. It goes after the pump, so the filters get full pressure and so does the house.
After heavy rain stirs up the tank, the sediment cartridge can clog sooner than usual. If the pressure drops off after a big storm, that's the first thing to check.
A lot of acreage homes aren't on the town sewer and use a septic tank or a treatment system instead. If the drains are slow all through the house, the problem may be the septic system rather than the pipes. We'll clear and check the pipes. If the tank itself needs pumping out or servicing, that's a job for your septic contractor.
Electric, heat pump, gas and solar. On a bigger property, where the system sits matters, because hot water takes longer to reach a bathroom at the far end.
Sediment and carbon filters for tank water, and under-sink drinking water filters for homes on town water.
A pump that keeps running, a tank level dropping for no reason, or a wet spot along a buried pipe. We find the leak and repair it.
Taps, toilets, leaking cisterns and new tapware, in town or out on acreage.
Blocked sinks, toilets and outside drains cleared, with a camera to find the cause when a line keeps blocking.Reliable, excellent communication and great work.
I can highly recommend Chris. He was quick and efficient on what turned out to be a pretty big leak 3ft under our lawn. No trace to the garden once he'd finished his work. Friendly and professional. Will definitley use his services again

I have used Chris a couple of times now and found his work to be of an extremely high standard. His time management is excellent and I have found Chis to be one of the tidiest tradespeople I have ever used. Thank you Chis for your excellent work and leaving my house so tidy. 10 out of 10.

For an acreage property, send us directions along with the address, plus any gate code and where we should park. Tell us about dogs, and whether a gate needs shutting behind us.
