Hot water emergency in Inner City
It was 3 am in the morning when Jamie woke his mom, asking her to take him to the bathroom. Sandra entered the bathroom and stopped dead. There was water everywhere on the floor. She could see water dripping from her hot water pipe when she looked under the basin. Fortunately, the bathroom was raised a little and this was holding the water in the bathroom – for now.
Immediately, she led Jamie out and woke her husband. He confirmed what she feared – a leaking connection under the basin had caused the damage! Luckily, Jamie had woken them just on time and they could do some damage control before they had a bigger problem on their hands.
Immediately, Jon turned off the water supply into the house, thus stopping further damage. He then turned off the central heating and switched off the mains, just in case! After that, there was nothing more to do than wait for the morning so they could call their plumbing service in Inner City.
Since they had been living in the area for a while now, they knew just the plumbing service to call. These people had a wide local network of service all around the Inner City area starting from Rushcutters Bay, Potts Point, Darlinghurst and Sydney to Paddington, Surry Hills, the Eastern Suburbs and North Bondi. But, the question was how soon would they come and how long could the Lloyds hang on without electricity or water?
At am, Jon called the emergency plumbing service in Inner City and talked to them about the broken pipe. The alert plumber immediately asked them if they had closed the water line and turned off the mains. After that, he promised to come by immediately. This was a surprise, even for Jon who has used the prompt service of this plumber in Inner City.
“You just happened to catch me before everyone else and since this is a dire emergency, I decided I’d better get here sooner rather than later!”, the plumber from Inner City informed them when Jon mentioned the speedy service. Then, he started working on the burst hot water pipes.
The job was not an easy one because the plumber discovered that the hot water pipe had another hole that was inside the wall. He had to slice through the wall to ensure that there was no leak anywhere else.
The Inner City plumber did a very thorough job and cleaned up all the debris from the sliced wall. At the end of the whole operation he walked out the door, leaving the beaming Lloyds praising the services of this Inner City plumber. If only other plumbing services would take a leaf out of his book!
