24/7 emergency plumbing provider in Geelong, Australia? Stop a leaky shut-off valve: Have a shut-off valve (like the one above) that doesn’t stop leaking when you close it and you don’t feel like replacing it? Here’s a neat little plumbing trick that’ll fix your problem! Get yourself a 3/8” inline shut off valve and piggy back it onto the old one. Then reinstall your supply line- it’s that simple.
A ventilated crawl space is often a problem in the winter. Seal off crawl space vents with thick cardboard and duct tape. This will protect any pipes that run through the crawl space. In addition, seal the access to the crawl space to prevent cold air from entering the space. If you have a basement instead of a crawl space, inspect the windows to ensure they are not letting cold air in.
Having an emergency with any gas appliance is dangerous and life threatening. If you think you have a gas leak in your house, we first recommend calling your local fire department to make sure there are no health hazards. Once the fire department has been called, and your house has been cleared, we can come to fix up any mess. Our team can conduct carbon monoxide testing and make sure all the gas connections in your house are properly fixed. Having a gas leak is no joke and we take the matter seriously.

Don’t put starch down garbage disposal: Peeling potatoes over the sink may make the task easier, but don’t even think about washing them down the garbage disposal or you could create a thick, starchy mess that will seriously clog your pipes. To avoid this mess, throw your peels in the compost pile where they’ll break down into nutritious fertilizer for your garden.
