    Top Plumbing Tips for Kensington Residents

    1

    Check for Hidden
    Leaks Regularly

    Even minor leaks can waste thousands of litres of water and cause long-term structural damage. Inspect walls, ceilings, and under sinks for damp spots or mould.

    2

    Avoid Pouring Grease or
    Food Waste Down the Sink

    Cooking oils, fats, and food scraps often harden in pipes, leading to slow drains and serious blockages. Instead of rinsing them away, pour grease into a sealed container and dispose of it properly.

    3

    Inspect Your Hot Water System Annually

    Your hot water system works hard all year. Sediment build-up, corrosion, or faulty valves can reduce efficiency and increase energy bills.

    4

    Be Mindful of What Goes in the Toilet

    Toilets are designed for human waste and toilet paper only. Flushing wipes, tissues, cotton buds, or sanitary items can easily block drains and require emergency repairs.

    What Our Clients Say

    Best plumbing service I’ve dealt with in a long time. Chris is superb. I was recommended by a family friend. Best to book ahead as he is very busy, but worth the wait. He took into account my mother’s arthritic needs as she had issues with turning the kitchen sink handles and resolved the leaking issue, and took the time to show and explain everything. Thank you, Chris. Hope to deal with you again for further plumbing solutions.

    Suzie Ferreira

    We had a Saturday morning plumbing emergency, with water backing into our downstairs bathroom. Chris arrived within an hour and was able to sort the issue quickly. He explained and demonstrated what the problem had been and provided great advice for possible long term solutions. I chose Civic based on being local and great google reviews and I’m glad we did.

    Ingrid Johnston

    Awesome service. Called up and had my hot water tank replaced. Chris the plumber even helped me out by removing a rusty screw. Great service, from first call to problem being fixed was less than 45 minutes.
