A plumbing emergency in Chippendale
For a long time, Jenna had wanted a dishwasher. Their family was large with four teenage boys eating their way through food throughout the day. So, there were dirty dishes piling up throughout the day.
Jenna had a portable dishwasher years ago, but it had broken down. Their finances were just not strong enough to bear the load of a dishwasher at the time. Last Christmas, Jenna had reminded Matt about the need for a dishwasher. That Christmas, she got a dishwasher and she was thrilled with her new purchase… They did not know how to install it!
Fortunately, Matt got into his ‘plumber’ hat and decided to install the dishwasher himself. Though he was not the best handyman around town, this time, Matt got it right. He installed the dishwasher and it actually worked! They cleaned their dirty dishes for exactly two days, and then the drain started blocking. There was a backflow problem.
Once Matt had successfully installed the dishwasher, he felt a new surge of confidence. He felt he could overcome any plumbing problem. Step one was to empty three sachets of drain cleaning powder. Nothing happened. So, he took the next step. He went to the nearby hardware store and brought a drain snake. This should do the trick, he thought. He found the drain opened and fed the snake into the drain. Nothing. The drain remained stubbornly blocked.
At last, Matt gave in and decided to call a plumber from Chippendale. Fortunately for them, they knew just the person to call. They had used a plumbing service when they lived in Bronte, and they were thrilled to know that the expert plumber serviced Chippendale and areas such as Darlington, Ultimo, Surry Hills, Glebe and Redfern. Since they had a long working relationship with this plumber, they knew that they neither had to fear a delay nor an unreasonable bill.
Just as they had expected, the plumber from Chippendale attended to their problem immediately. The plumber from Chippendale discovered that the drainage line that Matt had installed was the wrong diametre and changed this straight away, He then repaired the trap under the kitchen sink as when they turned on the water in the kitchen mixer tap, the water leaked and formed a puddle under the sink. After about half an hour of work, they turned the dishwasher on. The water rushed into the drain. What a delightful sight that was!
Both Matt and Jenna were pleased with the results. The plumber assured them the problem was solved and told them that they could give him a call in case they ran into any other plumbing problem with thedishwasher. “You know we are just a call away and we handle all your plumbing, not just dishwashers. I specialise in leaking tap repairs and reparing toilet cisterns”, he smiled as he turned to leave.
