Help! My pilot light has gone out…

Gas plumbing Blackburn

Adrian has been a long-time customer of Doherty Plumbing Solutions and recently reached out to our office with complaints of his heater’s pilot light going off. Not an ideal scenario, with the central heater not working during these colder months!

Our master plumber Brian attended the call at Adrian’s Blackburn property. The unit was assessed and Brian managed to locate the problem. The electronic sparkers were not igniting the gas supply properly.
As an added measure, Brian tested the gas supply pressure, which was optimum. So, he cleaned the unit and the igniter probe and the pilot light assembly could then be relit.

Lastly, as it is important with all gas appliance servicing, Brian tested the whole unit for any gas leaks. Everything was back to working order in no time, with no issues detected.

Adrian was very satisfied with our assistance, and left a 5-star Google review for us! Thank you, Adrian, for your feedback. We have enjoyed providing our plumbing services to you over the years.

    Of the many plumbing services they offer, this is the second time I've engaged them for different types of work. James has been very helpful and efficient in scheduling a time for a roof leak repair. Very pleased that the work was completed promptly. Trust that they have addressed the issues at hand.

    Came same day as I called to fix broken tap that couldn’t be turned off (had to turn water off at mains to stop flooding). Third time I’ve used them within 12 months for different issues. Very helpful, professional staff and reasonable pricing. Highly recommended.

    I rang them early morning & they arrived on the same day. They found the leak which was under the house, fixed it promptly. The plumber was helpful & friendly, communicated well. I'll use them again.
