A Day In The Life Of A Plumber In Inner North Sydney

No day is ever the same for a plumber. There is always a new location and another problem to solve – that’s a big part of what makes plumbing an interesting trade to work in.

If you’ve ever wondered what a day in the life of a plumber in inner north Sydney entails, here is an example of a fully booked day!

Blocked toilet Ryde

The first call of the morning sets the schedule for the rest of the day. If the first job is difficult or time consuming, the plumber may spend the whole day playing catch up. Today, it’s a blocked toilet in Ryde that needs attention. It’s the only toilet on the property, and none of the other fixtures (like taps) are having problems. This indicates that the blockage is directly behind the toilet.

Our inner north Sydney plumber arrives and investigates the blockage. The blockage is on the toilet line only. A jet rodding machine is used to clear the line. It doesn’t take long to check the sewer is clear and the toilet flushes as it should.

Our plumber issues the invoice and they make their way to the next job a few minutes’ drive away at Eastwood.

Gas fitting Eastwood

The gas fitting job in Eastwood requires the plumber to replace an instantaneous gas hot water unit. The existing unit has seen better days and a quote was sought for a new gas hot water unit.

The plumber disconnects the old unit and replaces it with a new unit, which was already on their van. The plumber commissions the new gas hot water unit and checks for no gas leaks on the installation. Necessary gas paperwork is filled in and the client is invoiced accordingly.

Leaking tap Ermington

A leaking tap can sometimes be an easy fix, depending on the type of tap. Our plumber finds the leaking tap in Ermington can be fixed by reseating and replacing the washers. The plumber replaces the washers as needed.

The client then asks our plumber if they can check the rest of the taps in the home to see if the washers need replacing. The plumber does as requested by the client, but is now running late for the next job. A quick call is made to advise the next client of the delay!

Dishwasher replacement Meadowbank

The last job of the day is hooking up a new dishwasher at Meadowbank. The dishwasher is onsite, but not yet seated in the appropriate space. The plumber adds a new cold water tap for the dishwasher and drills through the sink waste trap for the dishwasher hose waste. Thankfully the dishwasher fits in the space and can be installed with no dramas.

A day in the life of a plumber in north Sydney can be fairly busy. Somewhere between going from one job to the other is smoko and picking up fittings if needed for the next job. The plumbing jobs can vary and their degree of difficulty is unknown until the plumber arrives on the scene.
