Toilet Repairs Trafalgar

Cistern first, drain if needed

A toilet that keeps running, will not fill, or flushes weakly is often a valve or a float in the cistern. We start there. If the pan is slow to clear or more than one fixture is affected, the drain or the septic line may be the real problem. We camera that rather than just changing a washer.

Pans, connectors and septic houses

Lifting a pan in a country bathroom often means a hardened connector or tight tiles. We allow for a new pan connector and a careful reset. If the house is on septic and more than one fixture is slow, we camera the drain before we blame the cistern.

Weak flushes and older bathrooms

A weak flush is sometimes a cistern level, sometimes a blocked rim, and sometimes a partial drain or septic blockage further along. We check those in order. Older Trafalgar bathrooms sometimes need a new pan connector or a small alteration to the water supply when a new suite goes in, and that is included in the quote if we find it. Ring 03 8658 7379 and tell us whether more than one fixture is affected.

New suites and old floors

Fitting a new suite is quoted as a fixed price once we have seen the pan connection, the water point and the room. If the floor is soft or the flange is broken, we stop and say so rather than forcing a new pan onto a bad base. On septic houses we still check the drain if the flush is weak. Call 03 8658 7379.

Running cisterns and booked visits

A cistern that runs between flushes wastes water and is usually a valve. It can usually wait for a booked visit unless the water is overflowing onto the floor. A blocked pan or a backup at more than one fixture should be treated as more urgent, especially on a septic. Ring 03 8658 7379 and describe which fixtures are affected so we bring a camera if the drain is likely involved.

Trafalgar pipes at a glance

Trafalgar sits on the Princes Highway in Baw Baw Shire, postcode 3824, between Yarragon and Moe, with farmland, weatherboard houses and larger rural blocks spreading toward Thorpdale, Willow Grove, Narracan and Trafalgar East. Many homes here run a rainwater tank as well as, or instead of, a town supply, and a good number still have a septic system rather than a sewer. Water services can be long runs down a gravel drive, and earthenware or PVC drains pick up roots from paddock and roadside trees.

We use cameras, locators, pressure tests and acoustic leak detection so we can see the pipework before anyone cuts a wall or opens a trench in a paddock lawn.
