What do plumbing services include?

Plumbing services include all the activities necessary to ensure that your water supply pipes, fittings, and other plumbing systems work properly. It covers tasks that most general plumbers offer, such as sewer inspection services, bathroom and kitchen installations, boiler repairs, and the usual drainage system and plumbing maintenance at home. Your Tasker can also perform other plumbing and heating work. Whether you're looking for master plumbers or an emergency plumber, you can ask them for help with the following services: 

Toilet unblocking

Don't let unclogged toilets ruin your day! Plumbers can save the day when it comes to toilet unblocking. Should your toilet get clogged, your hired plumber can remove the obstruction in the waste outlet and ensure that your toilet flushes again as normal. They can use the most appropriate and effective unblocking tools and techniques without damaging your toilet or its pipes. For the most extreme blockages, some plumbers may offer sewer CCTV inspection services and use high-quality drain cameras to get to the root of the problem.

Toilet repairs

There's nothing worse than your toilet needing repairs. Once your toilet’s tank overflows, doesn’t fill up completely, or doesn’t work as normal, your hired plumber can deliver a fast response and readily fix these issues. They can perform a thorough inspection of the toilet’s outer and inner workings. After extensive inspection and troubleshooting, they can repair or replace the defective components as needed. 

Hot water system installation

Your plumber can do everything necessary to install a new hot water system in your home or replace your outdated system with a new one. Some plumbers can also help you choose the right hot water system best suited for your home if you haven’t purchased one yet. They can inspect the site and ensure that it’s safe and large enough to accommodate the system and its components. Once it’s ready, they can install it right away in compliance with building codes, state regulations, and industry best practices. 

Fridge water line installation 

When you want your fridge to supply ice cubes, filtered water, or both, your plumber can install new pipes and valves to supply and regulate water to your fridge. They can install the new water line using the appropriate materials, tools, and techniques without any damage to your home or property.

After the work is done, you can also get another Tasker to clean up the property and make sure it’s back to its pre-installation condition.

Leak repairs

If you have water pooling in your bathroom or dripping from your ceiling, your hired plumber can use video cameras or CCTV cameras to inspect your burst pipe and perhaps your entire plumbing system to find the source of the leaks. They can then patch up or replace any leaks, breaks, and other issues as appropriate.

Now that you’ve got your plumbing under control, how about getting someone to replace your roofing tiles or install a solar panel as well? No matter how big or small the job, contractors on Airtasker can handle all your roofing needs.

Blue cap temp water valve may need replacing

$200

Balwyn North VIC, Australia

13th Apr 2024

Hi folks, it seems I have a hot-water issue... Inside the house I get cold water (as normal), but my hot water is also cold. approx. 30seconds in to running the hot water tap, I feel a slight change to the water temp. but soon after it stays/remains cold. The hot-water release/pressure valve pumps out hot water still if I release it and the gas heater does seem to heat the water... When I feel the cold water inlet "hose" connected to the hot water system it feels hot, yet the hot water outlet "feels" cold. When i then go in side to turn the hot water tap on... the cold water inlet goes back to being "cold" and the hot water outlet feels slightly warmer than the cold water inlet, but not by much. I suspect it is the blue-cap temp. valve... but can't be 100% sure. I need someone to replace the hot water temp valve. To check the water is then pumping out hot water as hoped, and if it is something else to determine what the problem could be. The gas hot-water heater is an "Aquamax G390SS" some pictures attached.

Great guy, communicative... did the task assigned...

Fixing leakage of the main water pipe

$500

Templestowe Lower VIC, Australia

13th Apr 2024

Updated: Task is to fix the leakage of the main water pipe. The leakage is underneath a concrete step, hence busting the concrete will be required. There is no need to repair the concrete step afterward as the house will be demolished in a couple of months. I can hear the leakage and see the water comes out from underneath the concrete (see photos), so the leakage is probably 50 cm to 1 m from the exposed pipe. Happy to provide more details & explanation over the phone.

Water hammer and leaky kitchen sink, toilet pan connector replacement

$99

Blackburn South VIC, Australia

6th Apr 2024

Hello, I need a skilled plumber to address some maintenance and repair issues in my home. Below are the specific plumbing concerns: 1. Leaky Kitchen Sink: Water is escaping from my sink. While it’s not a major issue during regular use, when the sink is full and I unplug it, there’s a noticeable leak underneath.I suspect wear and tear in the washer or O-ring, which may need replacement. 2. Water Hammer My pipes emit a loud banging noise when I turn the water flow on or off in both the bathroom and kitchen. Despite having our house water pressure inspected by Yarra Valley Water (with no issues found), the staff believes there might be an underlying problem related to the hot water system or other factors.Urgent attention is required to resolve this issue promptly. 3. Shower Head Leakage: My shower head leaks unless I tighten it excessively. It’s likely due to a faulty washer or jumper valve. 4. Toilet Pan Connector Replacement: Two toilet pan connectors need replacement. The rubber seals may have deteriorated over time. I’ve temporarily rotated the rubber seals and applied sealant and sticky tape to prevent further leakage. 5. Drain Trap Installation or Replacement: The old S-trap under the bathroom sink occasionally leaks. I’ve used a plastic pipe connector as a temporary fix, but I’m concerned about its long-term durability. Installing a new drain trap or reconnecting the old one properly would be ideal. If you specialize in plumbing repairs, please feel free to leave a message or provide a quote for any or all of the mentioned jobs. Thank you Nathan

Great work on fixing all my plumbing issues, including leaky water basin, water hammer, and replacement of the pan connector. Highly recommendend

Water hammer, Bathroom fan replacement and Leaky kitchen sink

$200

Blackburn South VIC, Australia

6th Apr 2024

Hi there, I need some professional help with some house maintenance and repairs as soon as possible, especially the water hammer. Below are the specific issues I’d like addressed: 1. Leaky Kitchen Sink: Water is leaking from my kitchen sink. Under normal use (minimal water collection and regular washing up), it’s not a significant problem. However, when the sink is full and I unplug it, there’s a leak underneath. I suspect wear and tear in the washer or O-ring, which needs replacement. 2. Water Hammer: My pipes make a loud banging noise when I turn the water flow on or off, especially with the shower taps. Yarra Valley Water has inspected our house water pressure, and there are no issues there. The staff believes the problem might be related to the hot water system. 3. Shower Head Leak: The shower head leaks unless I tighten it very tightly. It could be due to a faulty washer or jumper valve. 4. Old Bathroom Fan Replacement: The existing bathroom fan runs at a low speed and doesn’t effectively draw air out of the bathroom. As a result, there are cracks and mould on the bathroom ceiling. I’d like to replace the fan. However, during an inspection by an electrician, it was noted that the fan isn’t directly connected to the outside of my home through its own duct. Replacing the fan itself would address the issue, but I may need ductwork installed to vent outside. Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you’re interested in these jobs, please feel free to provide a quote or leave a message below. Best

Good work with exhaust fan replacement. Give me helpful advice on that.
