Professional, Licensed & Experienced Plumbers
Tap Doctor plumbers are fully licensed, highly knowledgeable with years of experience resolving issues with noisy pipes and water hammer. While most water hammer problems are not absolutely urgent, we are available in most areas 7 days a week where you need emergency help.
How to Fix Noisy Pipes & Water Hammer Problems
When you shut off the water and the pipes bang or rattle it usually means the water pressure is too high. If the banging occurs when water is running it could still be a pressure issue, or it could mean your pipes are coming loose and need to be fastened properly.
Never ignore hammering pipes or you could end up with a burst and a serious leak. When you call a plumber to investigate the cause of the hammer, they might need to install a pressure regulating valve on your mains and an anti-hammer valve in the tap. If loose pipes are the issue the plumber might fasten or sleeve the problem area to stop it moving around.
Gurgling toilets or drains
Slow, gurgling loos strike fear in to the bravest plumbers. They know it could be a simple fix in the cistern or it could be something much worse, depending on if the toilet is running while it gurgles. If it is, they will get in to the cistern and replace any worn parts to keep your loo flushing smoothly.
If the toilet doesn’t run while it gurgles it could be a sign of a blocked sewer line. This could mean you need a replacement sewer line which is not a job for the queasy. Sinks and drain blockages are also common and when that happens it’s important to get a plumber to look closely. The issue could be caused by debris requiring the pipes to be taken apart, or it could be a symptom of poor plumbing which requires more extensive work.

We recently had an awesome experience with The Tap Doctor South branch & the mrs said we should share the experience because we are pretty happy with the outcome & think it could be valuable to others.
Our hot water tank was leaking water from the bottom of the tank and we had no hot water pressure in our house.
We built this house in 2003, and we’ve had a couple issues with the tank not re-lighting and valves leaking in the past, so we were not surprised when we were informed we needed a new one.
We called them because my old man told us to as he had used them before and he was happy.
We had a lady plumber arrive (I was a bit surprised to see a lady plumber if I’m honest but she was bloody fantastic) and we think she is an asset to the company.
She was easy to deal with, professional, & the new system looks awesome.
The thing we liked about the company mostly was we were given a quote first with all inclusive costs upfront and it was the same figure on completion, so no hidden charges.
We didn’t have to pay for her to come and give us a quote.
She was on time – a bit earlier actually &
Job was done same day.
Yes we would use this company again if needed.

Dr Brian arrived like Superman and fixed every issue
So impressed with this company
I had contacted two other well known plumbing companies: still waiting for one to get back to me over a week later & the other; the guy actually said “oh; the phone doesn’t ring very often” ….and ” I could pop out on Saturday and have a look for you”
Tap Doctor was efficient: has a regular communication set up so you’re on top of timing
I totally trusted the assessment of issues & the overall workmanship
Brilliant 🙂

The Tap Doctor not only showed up on time but their fee for the job was more than reasonable. I had four other quotes from different companies and the Tap Doctor quote came in at about two thirds cheaper than the other quotes I had.

Admin were super helpful and responsive to answer my online query for urgent plumbing assistance and get us booked in after we were woken at 2.30am to a spontaneously gushing shower after the washers or spindle gave way. Then Dr Reece turned up with a cheery, professional disposition and got the jobs done quickly but to a high standard, and didn’t leave any mess. Also helped out with another small toilet leak we had going on. Had all the parts required in the van. I can see why our neighbours recommended to the Tap Doctor, as we would now too. Worth every cent!
