 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My mother in law is a pensioner. She was quoted many thousands of dollars for work that she was told was urgent and if not remedied would cause far more expensive damage. The 1st plumber then charged almost $400 for the camera and an attempted water pressure clearance. We contacted GME plumbing who asked a great deal of questions to qualify the work. We emailed with more detail, the contact and conversation was professional and immediate. Danielle arranged a visit 3 days later and had the drain cleared, no mess, no damage to gardens or ripping up the yard for less than 10% of the original quote. You hear so many stories of plumbers ripping people off but these guys are genuine.

Plumbing Hints & Tips Charlestown

1. Blocked Drains Tip

Avoid flushing wipes – even “flushable” ones. They don’t break down like toilet paper and often snag on tree roots in Charlestown older sewer lines. Over time, this builds up and causes stubborn blockages that can lead to costly repairs. Stick to toilet paper only, and bin the rest.

Learn more about sewer blockages on the Hunter Water website.

2. Hot Water System Tip

Check your TPR valve (the small valve on the side of the tank) at least once a year. If it keeps dripping, that’s often a sign of high water pressure or a faulty valve – both are common problems in Charlestown due to aging systems and fluctuating mains pressure. Catching it early can save you from bigger failures later.

3. Leak Detection Tip

Turn off all taps and appliances, then check your water meter. If the dial’s still spinning, there’s likely a hidden leak. We often find underground leaks in stormwater or copper pipes – especially in established homes – which can waste thousands of litres before any obvious signs appear.

How to spot a leak and what to do next.

4. Gutters & Stormwater Tip

Clear your gutters and downpipes before summer storms arrive. Blocked gutters can overflow and back up your stormwater system. Heavy downpours often lead to sudden overflows and blocked drains – a quick clean before the wet season can save you a messy and expensive repair later.

5. General Maintenance Tip

Know where your isolation valves are and test them annually. In an emergency (burst pipe, major leak), being able to turn off your water quickly makes all the difference. Many Charlestown homeowners aren’t sure where their main shutoff is – make sure everyone in the house knows.
