Need a new bathroom? PlumbSpec can help.

A bathroom renovation can be a pleasure or a nightmare, as all work needs to be legal and not void your insurance policy. So where to start?

Need a bathroom renovation?

A modern, functional bathroom enhances every home, but all plumbing work must be carried out by licensed professionals.

Here are a few tips for a great bathroom renovation:

Be prepared

Unless you’ve got an unlimited funds play with, it pays to do your research. Is your family increasing in members or are you downsizing? This is often a time to reassess the layout of your bathroom.  Are you looking to create a spa haven? You may be preparing your home for sale and want to maximise your value. These are key questions that will shape the scope of your project. A mood board can be a great guide for the professionals you employ and when shopping for tiles, fixtures etc…

Budget

Bathroom renovations can range from under $5,000 to over $25,000 depending on the size of your room, the quality of materials, the amount of demolition needed, plumbing changes and if under floor repairs need to be made.

A general rule of thumb is to factor in a 20% buffer in your budget to cover unexpected problems during your renovation. Termite damage, water damage, old pipes and other surprises can pop up during the demolition stage.

Design

Think about your storage needs, lighting, colour combinations, fixture styles and the many tile designs available. Be wary of extreme trends as these can often date more quickly. Employ a designer or speak to professionals that deal in multiple trades and specialise in renovations.

Your Professionals

You’ll need to engage the services of professional tradespeople for your bathroom renovation, including a plumber, electrician and tiler. Before engaging a trade, make sure that they are above board by checking that they have a contractor licence.

How to Find the Hidden Leak

How to Find the Hidden Leak

How to Find the Hidden Leak.

Use these tips from PlumbSpec to find that hidden leak you know is there.

How to find the hidden leak

Do you fancy yourself as a bit of a sleuth? An increase in your water bill is the first indication that you may have a mystery to solve. Get in touch with your inner Sherlock Holmes, Gibbs or Hetty and start looking for clues to solve the mystery of the Increasing Water Bill. There are a few simple things you can do that can save you money and prevent costly damage and repairs.

Hidden leaks aren’t as obvious as a dripping tap and the noisy ones can keep you awake for hours. You can have hidden leaks under floors, in your walls, in your ceilings or in your garden. Some reports estimate that around 10% of homes have undetected leaks quietly causing damage.

Here are a few things to be aware of:

Look

A visual clue to hidden leaks is the appearance of discoloration and mould.  In areas that shouldn’t ordinarily be wet, mould is a sure sign of a water leak. Similarly, leaks can discolour walls and ceilings, so it’s a good idea inspect your ceilings, floors and walls for the unmistakable colour changes that could be pointing out a hidden leak.

Listen

Tune your ears into unusual sounds such as hissing or dripping sounds. Listen carefully around different parts of your home, covering the more obvious areas like around your toilets, taps and shower heads, but also along walls.

Smell

Leaks may be concealed from the eye, but damp odours can be pretty unmistakable. Don’t ignore damp and musty smells from floors or walls, this is a sign of a hidden leak under the floor or behind the wall.

Feel

If you’re walking around in your home and notice that parts of your floors are a little bouncy or spongy, you might be onto a hidden leak. In bathrooms, wall or floor tiles that are loose can be due to water damage to the adhesive. Identifying these signs as early as possible is important as they threaten the strength and integrity of the flooring and walls. Also keep an eye out for spongy, water logged areas in the garden.

If you are concerned that you may have a water leak, call the professional team at Plumbspec today and our team of water detectives will help you solve the mystery.

How to Create an Outdoor Haven.

How to Create an Outdoor Haven.

How to Create an Outdoor Haven.

Thinking of creating an outdoor haven? PlumbSpec can meet all your plumbing and gas fitting needs for that special gathering place.

How to Create an Outdoor Haven

 

The Outdoor Kitchen

Outdoor kitchens are the ultimate in alfresco entertaining, they turn your outside living spaces into an entertainer’s dream. They expand your living space and increase the value of your home. The addition of a sink and bar fridge; will add even more value to your outdoor kitchen.

In such a relaxed outdoor setting, with outdoor lounge and dining sets, nobody gets stuck inside cooking, making outdoor entertaining a much less stressful experience for both small gatherings and big parties. If you’ve got the space, it is definitely worth considering.

The Reliable BBQ

If your budget doesn’t allow for a full outdoor kitchen but you still want to make the most of your balcony, deck or outdoor area, consider having your BBQ connected to a gas mains supply. You’ll never run the risk of gas bottles running out with half-cooked sausages again. No more rushed trips to the service station for swap ‘n’ go gas bottles, just a continuous source of gas straight to your BBQ. For your own safety and current regulations, you should always use a licensed gas fitter when dealing with gas pipe fittings. Attempting any type of DIY is illegal, voids your home insurance and can result in a dangerous gas leak, explosion or fire.

No More Wet Floors

There are a number of great reasons to install an outdoor shower, whether you live close to the coast or inland. A great addition to a pool area, just think no more dripping water through the house to get to the indoor bathroom. You can keep your home clean by using the outdoor shower for kids and dogs, for post-gardening, after a run, and as a great extra shower when you have house guests.

From a design perspective, outdoor showers also add an element of luxury and are sure to add to the value of your home.

Set the Mood

Lighting is always important for safety and to help create a special ambience in your outdoor area. Lighting around the pool, paths, in deck systems and step lights, can be all hard wired and waterproof. Also don’t forget that outdoor ceiling fans not only create a gentle breeze on a hot night, they also help to deter the greatest mood killer, mosquitoes!
