Common Plumbing Problems in Altona
Leaking Roof?
Many homes in the area have ageing galvanised zinc and corrugated iron roof trusses. We detect leaks from rusted ridge vents, particularly in pre-1990s houses.
Faulty Bathroom Fittings?
The established trees in this suburb cause root intrusion in terracotta bathroom cisterns. Regular checks help identify potential issues before they become costly repairs.
Pipe Bursting in Walls?
Older galvanised steel pipes in pre-1970s homes corrode internally, restricting flow. We often recommend repiping with copper or PEX for a permanent fix to avoid further damage.
From Our Plumbers
"For hot water issues in Altona, we carry common replacement parts in our vans. About 70% of hot water problems we see are thermostat or element failures, which our plumbers can often fix same-day without needing a full system replacement."
