Toilet Paper for a Year Winner

Today at Global Headquarters for The Lone Drainer And Pronto, in Melody Street, Coogee we had an information session, jam packed with Questions and Answers about Taps, Toilets and Tree roots.

Although we weren’t quite turning local plumbing enthusiasts away from our rooms (wait till next time), those who came and participated in Dr Daves Tap Tutorial asked some very meaty questions about how their taps worked and how to fix them. They learned where to turn off their water main supply, their water heaters and gas supply meters.

We had a demonstration of a drainoscopy or how we use our drain camera to see what is going on in their sewer pipes and drains and how tree roots can damage even new PVC pipelines and we discussed the dangers of using flexible water connections, water hammer and the many ways it can present itself along with the operation of gas stoves and appliances.

Chris and I really enjoyed doing this presentation for you and hope you may tell your friends what you learned and tell them about our next presentation on the First Tuesday in May. Tuesday May 3rd 2011.

Now, The news that everyone wants to hear is, who Won A Years Supply of Toilet Paper?

Well, after putting your all names into my hat, I am happy to announce Gary is our winner.

Sydney Water the guardians of our main sewer pipes are constantly waging war against tree roots in our main sewer lines!
Many clients from Double Bay, Rushcutters Bay, Edgecliff, Woollahra, Paddington, Rose Bay, Point Piper and Darling Point, residents with lots of trees and tree roots growing in the sewer pipes around their homes, report Sydney Water are systematically surveying the mains around their neighbourhood.

If you have a tree root problem on the branch to the sewer pipes for your home, they will advise you.

If you have blocked sewer drains, blocked sewer pipes caused by tree roots in your pipes or tree roots in your drains or overflowing toilets the experts we met at Pumper Cleaner 2010 know how  to fix your problem.

Plumber rescues Puppy

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

In early June this year, a young boy in Britain decided to give his one week old puppy a bath using quite an odd method; putting him in the toilet bowl and giving it a flush. The dog was sent down the pipe, well out of reach from the fire brigade who were first on the scene in an attempt to rescue the pup. (more…)
