Water Leak Detection

Burst Water Pipes Need Repairing?

A burst water pipe is a challenge you can never prepare for. Financially, practically and logistically you can’t factor a burst pipe into life the way you can a renovation or scheduled plumbing works. Our plumbers can tend to burst water pipes in Gold Coast and surrounding suburbs.

So, to minimise disruption, when a water pipe bursts, you need someone who can be there immediately.

DCM Plumbing is a Gold Coast-based plumber who can locate a leak, repair it and help you complete paperwork to submit to local council to request a rebate on any excess water consumption charges you may incur due to this leak.

If you have an emergency burst pipe you need to locate your water meter and turn it off by turning the valve clockwise until it stops. Then call DCM to arrange a plumber to carry out repairs as quickly as possible to limit the inconvenience to your household.

Top Tip – Your water meter can usually be found at the front left or right of the property in a green or black lidded box, or next to a toilet or under a sink if you are living in a unit.

What to do if you suspect a burst water pipe:

Stop using all water in or outside the house (including taps, washing machine, dishwasher and toilets).
Locate the water meter and make a note of the digits on the meter (including the red digits and dials).
Re-read the meter in an hour (remember, don’t use the household water in this time).
If the digits have moved, it’s likely that a leak is present.
Turn off the water supply at the meter immediately to avoid excess water usage charges and call a licensed plumber.
DCM Plumbing is fully licensed and provides a same-day service to avoid the leak causing damage to the property.

HOW TO SPOT A BURST WATER PIPE:

CAUSES OF BURST WATER PIPE:

Our Burst Pipe Plumbers Go The EXTRA MILE

If you’ve already received a larger than average water bill, Gold Coast City Council may offer relief for high usage caused by concealed water leaks.

If we carry out a repair that will qualify for relief on your water bill, we’ll send you a form to apply for a rebate along with details of the repair and the first meter reading. Take a look at the form here.

All you need to do is complete your personal details and take a second meter reading a week after the repair and send your application to Gold Coast City Council.

Tip:
GCCC only allow three relief applications in a ten-year period, so make sure the water bill is excessive enough to warrant a claim

Plumbing work carried out in Queensland must be completed by a licensed plumber with the appropriate endorsements.

If you suspect a burst water pipe, call DCM Plumbing. Our plumbers can locate and fix burst water pipes in Gold Coast and surrounding suburbs.

How to clear a blocked drain

How do I get rid of smelly drains?

If your bathroom seems to suffer from sewer smells every once in a while, but doesn’t show signs of any blockages, you may benefit from fitting a device in your floor waste that prevents sewer smells from travelling back up into the room. If you have a consistently unpleasant odour coming from your drains, call a plumber

What To Do About a Blocked Sewer

Blocked sinks & basins

Blocked sinks & basins
These can be caused locally by hair and gunk stuck around plug hole and pipework leading from the sink into the main household drainage system. Pop up plugs are the biggest culprit of this problem as they can be tricky to get out to clean. The usual scenario to clear a blockage local to a sink/basin is to first plunge to see if this pushes anything within the trap and pipework down into the main drainage system. If this doesn’t clear it, the next step is to undo the trap under the sink or basin to see if there are any foreign objects stuck in it. If there are, it’s just a matter of emptying is out, cleaning the trap and reinstalling it. If when the trap is reinstalled water still isn’t getting away then the blockage is usually not local to the sink or basin and needs to be investigated further.

The work was to install a new draining system in the carport area. Dean was on time, courteous, professional and informative of the job he was about to undertake. During the day, If there was any potential issues, Dean would inform me for the need to change. Both Dean and Jackson completed the job and it looked very professional. Before leaving, they cleaned up the area and gave instructions on what to expect in the next couple of days. I would recommend DCM and in particular both Dean and Jackson for any work within their profession.

Karl was brilliant he came on time and had the curtosy to ring ahead to let me know he was on his way. when he got here I explained the problem and he instantly knew how to solve it and where the blockage would be. He had it cleaned out straight away and ran a camera though the pipe to check the blockage was gone. He was very professional the whole time he was here and I would highly recommend Karl to anyone.

Ben Wallace

Karl was on time, friendly and knowledgeable. Checked over the job. Confirmed all the details. Confirmed the price AND started and completed the job within a few hours. Utmost professionalism. Even better...he cleaned up his work areas after himself and disposed of his own rubbish. If only the other trades I have used in the past few weeks were this meticulous.I have used DCM plumbing on a few occasions as necessary over the years. Though this is the first time I have met Karl I believe. Everytime they have been out, it's literally been the same experience. 5 star each time. 10/10 will use again.

We had Karl and Jackson out to investigate an issue with our stormwater drainage. They were professional, friendly, and kept us updated on the progress. Great communication from the get go. Reasonably priced and very well organised — we requested a quote for additional drainage works and the written quote was sent to us that afternoon! It was refreshing to deal with such an efficient, well organised company. Overall I was very happy with my experience & will definitely be using them again in future.

Karl the plumber was very punctual and carefully explained what would be done to fix my problem. His work and finish was exemplary. I was given an up front quote before any work was done. A free assessment of the plumbing in and around the house was another fine feature of Karl’s work ( for DCM ).My initial contact was over the phone with Gill who was able organise a plumber very quickly for my convenience. She then confirmed who would be attending along with the plumber’s photo and profile. A nice added safety feature for us ‘oldies’ around Burleigh.Thank you DCM.
