## What we do not take on
- We are plumbers and gas fitters. We do not do asbestos removal. Where a job requires cutting into material that may contain bonded asbestos, the removal is referred to a licensed asbestos removalist before we continue.
- We do not do roof replacement, tiling, waterproofing membranes as a standalone trade, or electrical work beyond disconnection and reconnection of the systems we install.
- We do not quote plumbing sight-unseen on a job that needs a camera or a pressure test. Where a phone diagnosis is not honest, we say so.
- We do not service commercial kitchens, industrial process pipework, or fire services.
- We do not charge an after-hours surcharge that was not disclosed on the phone before attending.

## Local knowledge (Kellyville specifics)
- **The defining local fact: most houses here contain two water systems.** **BASIX, the Building Sustainability Index, has applied to new residential development in NSW since 1 July 2004**, and one of the most common ways of meeting its water target was **a rainwater tank plumbed to the toilets, the laundry cold tap and the outdoor taps**. Kellyville Ridge, Beaumont Hills, Stanhope Gardens, Parklea and North Kellyville were built out in and after that period, so this is ordinary housing stock here rather than an exception.
- **That installation has moving parts: a pump, an automatic changeover, and backflow protection** so tank water cannot enter the drinking supply. All of it is mechanical, all of it wears, and in most houses **nobody has touched any of it since handover**.
- **A stuck changeover is the classic failure and it hides completely.** If it sticks on mains, every fixture works perfectly, there is no noise and no fault light, and you simply pay for water sitting in a tank outside. **The only symptom is a bill that has climbed for no reason.** If it sticks the other way, toilets fill slowly or stop when the tank empties.
- **So the order of diagnosis matters here.** Testing the changeover takes ten minutes. Leak detection takes an afternoon. Doing them the other way round is how people pay for a search that was never going to find anything.
- **A pump that cycles with nothing calling for water is a tank-side leak**, not a faulty pump. Replacing the pump in that situation treats the symptom. Tank-side leaks never appear on a water bill, which is why they run for years.
- **The honest limit, stated plainly: we cannot tell you what your particular dwelling's BASIX certificate required.** That is on the certificate issued for the house and we have not seen it. What we can do is test what is actually installed and tell you what it is doing.
- **Young drainage does not wear out, it gets laid.** Modern PVC does not corrode and root ingress is a fraction of what it is in older suburbs. A line on a young house that blocks repeatedly is telling you about **insufficient fall, a bend material stalls in, or construction debris**, none of which improve on their own and all of which show immediately on camera.
- **Which makes relining frequently the wrong recommendation here.** A liner repairs damage. It does not fix grade. Lining a section without enough fall gives you a smooth pipe that still does not drain.
- **On a house still inside builder's warranty, film it before fixing it.** Repairing a defect destroys the only evidence anybody will act on.
- **Efficient hot water is genuinely available on these blocks.** Heat pumps need real airflow around the unit and solar needs a workable roof orientation. On estates where houses were laid out together, both are usually there, which is not true across most of Sydney.
- **Gas: an outdoor kitchen is not a barbecue on a bayonet.** A permanent built-in appliance in built-in joinery has ventilation and clearance requirements a portable one does not, decided by how the enclosure is built, so it is a design stage conversation rather than a delivery day one.
- Sydney's water is soft, so a failed hot water system here is a spent anode or element rather than limescale.
