Brisbane Plumbing - Showing The Way
There are certain types of work that it quite difficult to do alone. Take the job of a plumber for instance. He is a person who knows more about the internal systems of your house better than you do. The pipes in your kitchen are leaking and you might think it to be a small problem that can be solved just like that.
But, he would be the one to acquaint you with the more severe problems in your overall drainage system which might be causing the leak.

The Need For Plumbing Maintenance
There is no particular season for the onset of plumbing related problems. However, come winter, and the taps, pipes, and showers in our homes show severe reluctance to working at all – if not properly.
The showers run cold, the pipes are frozen, and the radiators tend to break down when we least expect them to. This creates the need for plumbing maintenance. With this type of maintenance work being carried out at regular intervals, the more common plumbing problems can be kept at bay.

Maintenance
Many of us take hot water for granted, up until we run the tap to find that we have none. Hot water systems can last for many years, with regular maintenance and some simple checks carried out you can maximize the life span of your water heater. Our fully qualified plumbers here at Smart State Plumbing Services can take care of all your hot water requirements, domestic or commercial.
Hot water system checks can be carried out by a licensed plumber or you can carry out these plumbing safety checks yourself. If your water heater is a storage tank system, no matter whether it is electric, gas, solar or heat pump, you can visually inspect the hot water tank for water leaks. You should also lift the lever on the hot water and cold water relief valves / drain valve until water drains through the discharge pipe. This hot water system safety check should be carried out every 3 to 6 months. Hot water and cold water relief valves should be replaced at intervals not exceeding five years, in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. If the valves show signs of water leaks or if you find that the hot water temperature is too hot, then you should call a licensed plumber to carry out a more detailed inspection as there may be another plumbing issue which should only be repaired by a plumber licensed to carry out such works. Plumbers must hold a current Queensland Plumbing license and plumbing contractors should hold a BSA license.
Sacrificial anodes are an important component in a hot water system. Made from Magnesium or Aluminium, these metallic rods are fitted in the hot water tank to prolong the life span of the tank and slow down any corrosion that takes place. These sacrificial anodes should be inspected after the first 5 years then annually as they should be replaced when necessary to protect the tank hence the term 'Sacrificial Anode'.
Typical plumbing problems with hot water systems include, no hot water at all, insufficient hot water, water leaks, water too hot, poor water flow, noises, inefficiency, tempering valve problems, thermostatic mixing valve problems, thermostat issues, pilot light problems, gas flow rate issues, gas leaks etc. Our fully licensed plumbers and gas fitters here at Smart State Plumbing Services will be only too happy to offer advice on options available to repair or replace all makes and models including Rheem, Dux, Saxon, Bosch, Rinnai, Vulcan, Quantum, Everhot, Aquamax etc.
Did you know?
Quote from Master Plumbers Australia October 2008 journal ;
'The phase out of electric hot water systems from existing homes was announced as part of Queensland's ClimateSmart 2050 strategy in June 2007, and is the first of its kind in Australia.'
'If your house is in a gas reticulated area you will need to replace your hot water system with a greenhouse efficient hot water system-solar, heat pump or gas.'
We make recommendations to all of our customers to follow the servicing instructions from the hot water system manufacturers so that these water heaters last for as long as possible. Systems that are not serviced and maintained will not have the lifespan of systems that are looked after, similar to your car.
Replacing a standard electric hot water system can range from $1150 upwards! It is much cheaper and more cost effective in the long term to maintain your water heater in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
If your water heater decides to split / leak after January 2010, you may be forced to install an energy efficient water heater. These are much more expensive to buy and install.
Rebates are available at present if you convert to Gas, Solar or Heat Pump hot water systems. Check out the links to read the information on these rebates. These are a great incentive to help you choose an environmentally friendly hot water system. You'll be doing your bit for the planet!
