Difficult to access leak

A badly leaking pipe was difficult to access as it was 8 metres high

The pipe in question was on top of a large storage head tank and was leaking severely, affecting the property’s water supply. Its height making it impossible for the property owner to access it and fix himself.

Having received the request for home maintenance service, Steve found the right plumber for the job. He then ensured the home owner was happy with the service and fee agreed. The plumber then drove to the remote location with a cherry picker and replaced the leaking pipe restoring the water supply.

This is a great example of knowing which tradie is right for the job – prepared to travel and prepared with a cherry picker!
