Aussie Bidets clean up Downunder

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Recently The Lone Drainer and Pronto were called to repair a leaking toilet cistern in Bondi Junction, I was surprised to see this toilet not only had a flush button but came with a remote control as well. The client informed me that this toilet actually contained a bidet built into the toilet seat, complete with retracting heated water spout, air dryer, and instant seat heater, all of which are adjustable to suit individuals comforts and anatomy. Whilst the bidet is a very popular plumbing fixture in Europe, by comparison, I have come across few during my many years of plumbing in Australia.

The bidet toilet seat is a compromise.

Whilst this can be deemed as a “luxury” item for most, our client revealed that a relative of theirs who has suffered a stroke also had a bidet toilet seat installed. This has proved to be of great assistance to them and their family when using the bathroom, with loss of mobility in extremities after the stroke.  What a great idea, a bidet toilet seat could be of great assistance for the elderly, disabled, infirmed or even people with sports injuries

The fastest dispatch and delivery of a plumbing emergency was…yesterday morning! 

Our next plumbing emergency had been put back, another sustained downpour had flooded the local streets. Visibility and comfort levels were poor.

We stopped for some morning tea, a hot coffee and some sustenance along a well known fast food strip, as we finished our break the mobile phone rang….

A local Medical Centre called, asking for fast plumbing service to repair their one and only badly leaking toilet. There was water leaking all over the floor, the waiting room was full of patients. The very polite receptionist was screaming for HELP.

Little did she know we were parked 30 metres from her front door and looking for action.

3 minutes after the phone call for emergency plumbing was received, our heroes walked through the front door of the Medical Centre, armed for action.

25 minutes later, the leaking toilet was fixed. The faulty water inlet valve was replaced. The leaking waste pipe was sealed. 

The receptionist was overwhelmed.  ”Lone Drainer, you really will fix our plumbing Pronto” she said.

When the Lone Drainer says Pronto, He means it!

What great service from an eastern suburbs emergency plumber!
