Leak repair Blackburn

A customer from Blackburn anxiously called the Doherty Plumbing Solutions office recently, reporting a potential water leak near their water meter. They had also noticed higher water bills than usual, and there was pooling of water near the meter.

After COVID screening, George from our plumbing team was promptly at their property, and investigated the issue. It appeared the plastic pressure reducer on the water meter had been accidentally knocked during garden work.

George exposed the meter assembly and found the tail connection was leaking. He replaced the water meter washer, and removed the damaged section of the copper piping. A new copper section was fitted and secured with B-press tool.

After doing a water test, George found there was no more leakage around the meter. He backfilled and reinstated the ground cover and cleaned up the work area.

The customer was extremely satisfied with the quick support we had provided, and very kindly left a positive review on our Google page, noting George’s efficient assistance.

    Communication pre visit was excellent. Yarra Valley water representative said that the problem was on our property and that you should have fixed it. We’re unsure about that and pleased that it was fixed promptly.

    Expected attendance time was managed well with calls and alerts prior to. People were respectful, friendly and professional. Problem was quickly diagnosed, fixed and tested through appliances. Clean-up afterwards was greatly appreciated and a step above other service providers. Used Doherty a number of times, very happy to recommend them.

    Brian Doherty and his team provided first class service for several gas/electric requirements we had. The plumbing staff were excellent, fully capable, and very easy to work with. Most highly recommended service.

He was punctual,obliging and professional. I highly recommend Doherty to anyone requiring plumbing services. In addition the fee was competitive and reasonable. Thank you guys,you will be our go-to for future jobs.
