Leak repair Blackburn

A customer from Blackburn anxiously called the Doherty Plumbing Solutions office recently, reporting a potential water leak near their water meter. They had also noticed higher water bills than usual, and there was pooling of water near the meter.

After COVID screening, George from our plumbing team was promptly at their property, and investigated the issue. It appeared the plastic pressure reducer on the water meter had been accidentally knocked during garden work.

George exposed the meter assembly and found the tail connection was leaking. He replaced the water meter washer, and removed the damaged section of the copper piping. A new copper section was fitted and secured with B-press tool.

After doing a water test, George found there was no more leakage around the meter. He backfilled and reinstated the ground cover and cleaned up the work area.

The customer was extremely satisfied with the quick support we had provided, and very kindly left a positive review on our Google page, noting George’s efficient assistance.

    As someone who has not had much luck in finding a good plumber in the past, I decided to give DPS a go. From the initial phone call, service was terrific. My plumber, George, arrived on time, was polite, patient & completed the job really well. Would recommend them & use them again, if needed. Pricing was reasonable too.

    Expected attendance time was managed well with calls and alerts prior to. People were respectful, friendly and professional. Problem was quickly diagnosed, fixed and tested through appliances. Clean-up afterwards was greatly appreciated and a step above other service providers. Used Doherty a number of times, very happy to recommend them.

    Had a very positive experience with Doherty Plumbing. Easy to book, scheduled conveniently and on the day George went above and beyond to do a great job and go the extra mile with cleaning up. Very happy and would definitely use again.
