Plumbing and Gas Frequently Asked Questions

  • Flowline Plumbing and Gas has an emergency plumber on call 24 hours a day. If you’re in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs, just call our hotline. For more information see our Emergency Plumber Services page.

  • We recommend backflow to be tested yearly. For commercial properties, this is legally required. For more information see our Backflow & TMV Testing page.

  • Our plumber will use various tools to analyse the drain and understand what’s causing the blockage such as CCTV cameras, water jetters and plumbing drain rods. For more information on blocked drains see our Blocked Drains page.

  • A running toilet typically is a result of a broken or faulty flush valve which needs to be replaced. The chain in the tank could also be causing issues! Call us so we can identify the issue and provide a solution or see our Toilets page.

  • There is nothing worse than a cold shower and there are multiple reasons as to why showers can take so long to heat up. It may be the distance from shower to the hot water unit, the type, age, size or the size of the pipes to the hot water unit. It may also be the season! Insulating your pipes has the potential to alleviate this issue, whilst also saving you energy, as the pipes will be kept warmer for longer. Another solution could be to install a circulation pump to assist hot water getting around your property efficiently. Call us today!

  • Leaks! Your leak could simply be a result of a dripping tap, a leaky toilet or more commonly, a leaking pipe. By finding these leaks and stopping them, you’ll significantly reduce your water bills.
