Is Your Home’s Plumbing Crying for Help? A Coolum Beach Case Study

Is there anything worse than waking up to a cold shower? Maybe it’s the constant, hissing sound of a toilet that won’t stop running. Or perhaps it’s the drip… drip… drip… of a tap that’s slowly driving you mad.

Individually, these are small annoyances. But when they all happen at once, they’re not just separate problems. They are the tell-tale signs of an entire plumbing system that is aging, under stress, and failing.

This was the exact situation for a recent homeowner in Coolum Beach. They were facing a cascade of plumbing issues and needed a professional, comprehensive solution. They called the Fallon Solutions team for a full home plumbing service in Coolum Beach to bring their property back to life.

The Problem: A System-Wide Failure

When our licensed plumber in Coolum Beach arrived, it was clear this was more than a single leaky tap. The “before” picture was a home where every part of the plumbing system was showing its age.

• The Unreliable Hot Water: The old hot water system replacement was long overdue. The unit was inefficient, unreliable, and at risk of failing completely, which could mean a catastrophic leak or, at best, a very cold morning.
• The Hissing Toilets: Two toilet cisterns were worn out. This meant they were constantly hissing, “ghost flushing,” or leaking water. This wasn’t just annoying; it was a 24/7 leak that was wasting thousands of litres of water and driving up the owner’s bills. A full toilet cistern repair was needed.
• The Dripping Taps: From the garden to the kitchen and bathrooms, multiple taps were stiff, dripping, and in desperate need of a service.
• The Hidden Culprit: Why was everything failing at once? Our plumber identified the root cause: the home had no pressure protection. High, uncontrolled water pressure from the street main was acting like a bully, putting constant, excessive stress on every tap, washer, valve, and appliance in the house. This high pressure was destroying the plumbing from the inside out.

The Solution: A Total Plumbing Overhaul

This job wasn’t about patch-ups. It was about providing a long-term, reliable solution. Our licensed plumbing and electrical teams worked together to complete a full home plumbing service.

Here is a breakdown of our comprehensive approach:

1. The Root Cause: Pressure Limiting Valve Installation

Before fixing the symptoms, we fixed the disease. The most critical step was a pressure limiting valve installation.

• What this means: We installed a new 500kPa valve at the home’s water meter. Think of this as a “cruise control” for your water. It takes the high, erratic pressure from the street (which can be over 1000kPa) and reduces it to a safe, stable level. This one device instantly protects every fixture and appliance in the home.

2. The Hot Water System Replacement

With the pressure under control, we tackled the hot water.

• The Upgrade: We disconnected and removed the old, failing units and supplied a new, high-efficiency Rheem Stella SS 250L hot water system. This is a premium Rheem hot water system known for its durability and energy efficiency.
• The Details: Our licensed plumber in Coolum Beach installed all new, compliant safety valves (like the PTR and ECV valves) and ran the new copper pipework.
• The Safety: A licensed Fallon Solutions electrician handled the full disconnection and reconnection, ensuring the entire installation was 100% compliant and electrically safe.

3. The Toilet and Tap Upgrades

Next, we addressed the leaks and inefficiencies.

• Toilet Cistern Repair: We replaced both faulty toilet cisterns with modern, water-efficient units. This wasn’t just a new cistern; we replaced all the high-risk components, including new mini-stop taps (for future isolation), new flexible hose connections (to prevent a burst flood), and a new toilet seat installation for a clean, fresh finish.
• Full Tapware Service: Our plumber conducted a full bathroom tap upgrade and service throughout the entire house. Every tap—from the kitchen and laundry to the showers, baths, and even the garden taps—was serviced. This involves replacing all worn-out washers and o-rings, ensuring every tap is drip-free and operates smoothly.

The Benefits: Peace of Mind and System-Wide Savings

The outcome for this Coolum Beach homeowner wasn’t just “fixed plumbing.” It was a total transformation that delivered powerful, long-term benefits:

• Total Peace of Mind: The pressure limiting valve installation means the entire system is now protected. The risk of a burst flexi hose or a tap failing under pressure is drastically reduced.
• Lower Energy Bills: The new Rheem hot water system is vastly more energy-efficient, which will lead to a noticeable reduction in the home’s power bills.
• Lower Water Bills: Stopping the hissing toilets and dripping taps will save thousands of litres of water per year, providing immediate savings on the next water bill.
• Long-Term Reliability: All the home’s “high-risk” items—the HWS, the cisterns, the taps—are now new, compliant, and working perfectly. This is a “set and forget” solution for years to come.
• Appliance Protection: That new pressure valve doesn’t just protect taps. It protects your expensive appliances, like the dishwasher and washing machine, from premature failure.
