Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of clearing a blocked drain depends on where the blockage is, what is causing it and whether equipment such as high-pressure water jetting or a CCTV drain camera is required. A straightforward blockage may cost a few hundred dollars, while tree roots, damaged pipes or recurring blockages can require more extensive work. JT Plumbing assesses the problem first and provides clear pricing before work begins.
It depends on the type of work. Installing, replacing or making significant alterations to an onsite wastewater or septic system generally requires a plumbing permit through Huon Valley Council. Routine servicing or pump-outs may not require the same approval process. If you’re unsure what applies to your property, JT Plumbing can help identify the plumbing requirements before work starts.
The recommended servicing schedule depends on the type, brand and age of your hot water system. Many storage hot water systems recommend a major professional service around every five years, although some components and systems may need checking sooner. Tasmania’s colder winters can also make declining hot water performance more noticeable. If your water takes longer to heat, runs out quickly, leaks or makes unusual noises, it is worth having the system checked.
Recurring blocked drains usually indicate an underlying problem rather than a one-off blockage. Common causes include tree-root intrusion, damaged or collapsed pipework, grease and debris build-up, or problems with the fall of the drain. A CCTV drain inspection can help locate the cause so the problem can be repaired rather than repeatedly cleared.
Repair may make sense when the system is relatively young and the fault involves a replaceable component. Replacement can be more economical when the tank is leaking, badly corroded, repeatedly breaking down or no longer meeting your household’s hot water needs. JT Plumbing can inspect your existing system and explain the repair and replacement options before you decide.
If it is safe to do so, turn off your property’s main water supply to reduce water damage, then contact a licensed plumber as soon as possible. Move electrical appliances and valuables away from the affected area and avoid attempting plumbing repairs yourself. For urgent plumbing problems in the Huon Valley, Franklin, Kingston and surrounding areas, contact JT Plumbing directly on 0458 989 134.
