Deciding if a DIY plumbing repair is advisable depends on several key factors:
Consider the intricacy of the problem. Repairs concerning gas lines, sewerage, main water lines, or electrics typically necessitate specialised tools and expertise. Do I risk further damage or contamination? Attempting complex repairs might compromise safety if done incorrectly.
Do I have the proper tools and knowledge to fully repair the issue?

Our decade of practice has honed our ability to accurately diagnose different types of faults.
Can you easily access the damaged areas? Plumbers are equipped for cramped, dirty environments like crawl spaces or roof cavities, which might not be suitable for your own handling. Our plumbers follow rigorous safety measures when operating in hazardous conditions not suited for the inexperienced.
If you need help or are unsure about tackling any repair, contact Abbotsbury Plumbing on 1300 349 338.

Older homes with intricate systems, similar to how delicate glass can compromise your fixtures, are especially prone to complications beyond an amateur.Contact our experienced technicians on 1300 349 338 if your attempted DIY repairs are unsuccessful or the issue worsens.
Certain red flag situations indicate an immediate need to contact licenced plumbing professionals rather than attempting risky DIY repairs. Key scenarios requiring urgent expert help include:
If you suspect any kind of gas leak, evacuate the property and call 000 followed by our 24/7 emergency plumbing service on 1300 349 338.
DIY gas leak repairs could lead to explosions, poisoning, or other severe health risks. As licenced gas fitters, we have the specialised equipment to quickly identify and fix gas line issues.
Raw sewage backflow poses significant health safety risks if not resolved swiftly. Our technicians have the powerful jet drain machines and pipe cameras to safely unblock heavily clogged drains and sewer lines. We also sanitise affected areas and extract contaminated water to remediate any bacteria and mould issues before they spread.
Prioritise your health and safety; avoid DIY attempts on major sewage clogs or overflows. Improper drain cleaning can change your pipes’ integrity, further rupture them, spread harmful pathogens and potentially jeopardise your claim to remediation costs if contamination worsens.
Significant water flooding from burst pipes or leaks that have been affected can quickly create mould risks and seriously damage structures. Our team stops any active leaks and uses professional drying equipment to extract standing water from carpets, walls and other materials.
If flood damage appears extensive, we may recommend contacting both emergency services and a water damage restoration professional to handle remediation. DIY repairs without knowledge of containment, drying, and contamination prevention may lead to insurance claims being denied due to improper handling.

DIY complex plumbing repairs during emergencies risk severe damage to your home, beyond the immediate problems. What may appear as an easy fix for a leaky pipe can quickly escalate, with water damage becoming a problem in its own right if handled incorrectly.
Simply tightening fittings on a burst pipe often fails to permanently patch cracks or corrosion. This can lead to much larger leaks over time. Our technicians use specialised equipment to fully replace damaged sections of pipe and prevent future breakdowns.
Bungled drain repairs also risk spreading sewage contamination throughout properties and neighbourhood sewer lines. Our CCTV pipe inspections show that inadequately cleared blockages can eventually obstruct entire drainage systems. We utilise high-pressure hydrojetters and commercial-grade drain augers to completely remove blockages safely.
DIY mistakes amidst plumbing disasters frequently incur huge costs. One study found 89% of attempted amateur fixes result in $500+ repair bills once professionals are eventually called in. Had homeowners initially contacted our 24/7 emergency services, extensive contamination cleanup and property renovations could have been minimised or avoided.

Regular maintenance is key to preventing major plumbing disasters and costly repairs down the line. We recommend the following preventative checks and servicing:
Schedule an annual inspection of your entire system by our licensed professionals. We will thoroughly assess all drains, pipework, taps, valves, water heaters and other components. Catching small leaks early prevents extensive water damage and flooding over time.
Regularly maintain your drains, as blockages frequently lead to sewage backflows and contamination incidents. Schedule biannual hydrojet drain cleanings to extract grease buildup, soap scum, hair and other debris before major blockages occur.
Annual water heater flushing can eliminate sediment accumulation, thus preventing leaks and corrosion. We also test safety mechanisms and check for expiry dates on relief valves during servicing.
Well-intended DIY fixes can lead to more significant issues that eventually require expert intervention. For instance, concealing minor leaks with insulation can hasten pipe corrosion. Contact us immediately at any sign of plumbing problems to prevent escalation.
