Common plumbing problems in Chadstone
These are the faults we genuinely attend more often in Chadstone than elsewhere in Melbourne.
Postwar copper developing pinholes
Copper installed in the 1950s and 60s eventually pinholes, usually in hot water lines and often within a wall cavity. The first sign is a stain on plaster rather than visible water, and one leak generally signals more to come.
Hot water systems failing as a cohort
Much of the housing here had hot water replaced on a similar cycle and the units are now failing at a similar age. Past twelve years a storage unit is on borrowed time, and replacing before failure avoids the water damage a split tank causes.
Terracotta drainage with clay movement
Seasonal soil movement cracks rigid terracotta, particularly under driveways where load compounds it. Roots follow through the crack, making clearing alone a temporary measure.
