Getting a builders report before you buy a house will reveal all it’s flaws.

July 1st, 2010 No Comments

Sadly, false.

Most people recognise that before you buy a house it is a really good idea to get a builder’s report. It is true that they can save prospective house buyers from making potentially disastrous emotional buys. A builder’s report can reveal all sorts of hidden problems such as rising damp, movement in the walls and structural issues.

What a builder’s report won’t tell you is the state of the plumbing in the property. And did you know that some people sell their houses rather than deal to serious plumbing issues? It is not uncommon for happy new owners to be devastated to find the hot water system needs replacing, or that the drains are filled with roots. This is the stuff of headaches, massive expense and broken dreams!

Save yourself the heartbreak! Express Plumbing can assess your potential new home and give you the assurance you need that everything is in order, or steer you away from a lemon. It just makes sense!

Toilet Humour

July 1st, 2010 No Comments

So, this man walks into a toilet…..

A student at the Chong Quing University of Technology and Business, in a beautifully ironic moment of combining technology and going about his business, managed to drop his mobile phone into the toilet bowl.

Being a resourceful fellow, he wrapped his arm in newspaper (to protect himself from germs) and attempted to remove his phone from the U-tube, only to find that the newspaper swelled and before he knew what was happening he was stuck fast.

Like a scene from the Great Big Enormous Turnip, friends tugged and pulled to no avail and in the end the fire service was called. An hour later, red faced with shame, the embarrassed student was freed. My source does not relate the fate of the phone.

Now Express Plumbing have seen some things but we’ve never encountered anything quite like this story. But fear not! We’d love to. So if you ever find yourself in an embarrassing fix, call us! We promise not to laugh. Not at the time at least!

Did you know?

A toilet is called a dunny in Australia after the English word, dunnekin, which meant the ‘dung house’.  Back in the day the outhouse, or dunny, was emptied once a week by a dunnyman.
