Did you know about the underground river in Adelaide's inner northern suburb?

There wouldn't be too many people across Adelaide who know about the hidden aquifer flowing under the suburb of Medindie and Medindie Gardens.  To be specific if you live along Dutton Terrace you will certainly know about this.  If you have basement or underground car park in this inner northern suburb then you will certainly be informed of what lays below your home.

Like all things when they are working there is no problem, but when they start to fail its when you will require a suitably qualified tradesperson to attend promptly.  In order to keep the water out of these car parks and cellars a pump will be required to run 24 hours of a day.  If for some reason it fails then you will need an electrician or plumber to attend quickly.  Another approach is to have these pumps regularly serviced by a licensed plumber in Medindie.

Mayfair Plumbing have been helping many of the residents in this elegant suburb of South Australia now for well over 20 years.  It is the experience and knowledge these homeowners have grown to rely upon and the word of mouth is what keeps the business growing in and around Walkerville.

In between our jobs you might occasionally see one of our service vans parked at the Mcdonald's in Collingswood right across from the ABC building on North East Road.  When you work around the clock sometimes there are not too many options for a bite to eat and in the late hours of a night there isn't exactly too many businesses open for a meal.

Can the temperature of my hot water service be adjusted?

There is a huge misconception amongest the community that a storage cylinder style water heater can be safely adjusted to a warm temperature setting.  Theoretically yes it can be, BUT it should not be!

Some people believe that by adjusting the water's temperature to a lower setting (perhaps 45 degrees) it will save them money on their energy bills.  Once again this is theoretically correct, BUT it still should not be done!!

A storage water heater whether it be electrical or gas fired needs to operate at a minimum of 65 degrees celsius.  The reason for this is that warm water can breed bacteria (legionella) which is airborne so when you are showering you are susceptible to this bacteria which for the elderly or young babies with weaker immune systems this can be extremely harmful.  If you have a hot water service installed by one of our skilled plumbers they will correctly set up your new system to the manufacturers specifications.  Once the system has been installed it should not be tampered with.  There are devices which can be installed on the hot water line to the home or business which will adjust the incoming temperature to the taps but still maintain a safe temperature in the tank.  By contacting us on the below options we can discuss all of these various options with you and ensure the correct systems is supplied and installed for you.

If you are questioning the ability or condition of your hot water service please feel free to email us on on contact@repairwaterheater.com or click here to investigate more at our hot water web page.

A suburb of Adelaide's inner south that's really punching above its weight

When we often hear people talking about the inner southern suburbs of Adelaide they quite often refer to places such as Unley, Park Side and Hyde Park.  A location not to far away from these beautiful parts of Adelaide that has really starting hitting the spot lights with huge property value growth is Daw Park in the council district of Mitcham.  It is only 8 kilometres from the city itself and with all the public transportation so close by getting in and out of the Adelaide has never been easier.

With many of the older properties situated on 1000 square metre plus sized blocks you will often find home owners renovating rather then paying stamp duty and relocation costs to move to another part of South Australia such as Clapham, Melrose Park and Edwarstown.

As licensed plumbers and gasfitters we quite often get asked to help out with various plumbing tasks, whether it be a hot water repair (chromagen, bosch, rinnai and rheem) or hot water installations (dux, aqua max and raypak), hydro jetting of a blocked drain, backflow valve testing, stopping a leaking toilet or emergency after hours requests there is no end of work for us and of course tradesmen in the area.

With constant speculation surrounding the repatriation hospital (shown below) this inner city suburb is one to keep and eye on.  The hospital currently occupies a large portion of Daw Park on the corner of Goodwood Road and Daws Road and if one day the hospital does close this land is certain to chopped up into small parcels and snapped up fast by eager home buyers who would like to live in this inner southern suburb of Adelaide.

High capacity hot water on demand, trust Raypak!

When it comes to high output reliable commercial water heaters there are only a handful of companies who provide systems that are designed to keep with the high demands placed upon them.  Brands such as Bosch, Rinnai and Rheem are synonymous in the field of commercial and industrial water heaters.  There is one other brand which is only known amongst those who are qualified to deal with high output boilers and that is Raypak.  Rheem own and distribute the Raypak brand across Adelaide in South Australia from there warehouse in the suburb of Cavan.  These commercial hot water services are found in locations such as hotels, food preparation centres, swimming pools, apartment buildings and hospitals to list just a few of the many uses that these high demand water heaters are used in.

Raypak hot water services can deliver up to 1500 litres of 80 degree water in one hour.  This process is achieved using large amounts of either natural gas or LPG and extremely large copper fined heat exchangers.  Depending on the desired use for the hot water coming out of these units the plant room can be set up with singular or multiple circulating pumps and large storage vessels so that the large volume of hot water can be delivered during peak periods.

You will find that not too many plumbers want to work on hot water systems in Adelaide and when it comes to large scale complex set ups there are even fewer who will repair, service and install these appliances.  Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting have developed a reputation for not only being one of a few companies who will work with these hot water units but a reputation for being the best hot water plumbers.  Our maintenance division can have plumbers dispatched to remote locations and we also provide plumbers on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  We understand that businesses don't just operate Monday to Friday 9am till 5pm so when something breaks down its most likely going to be at the most inconvenient time and your going to need a reliable company to call upon, that's the Mayfair difference.  For support 24 hours and 7 days of the week contact 1800 694 689 or email inquiries by clicking here
