Hot Water System in Richmond

The team at Gallant Plumbing were called out to a hot water system in Richmond. Our Melbourne plumbers attended site in a timely manner ready to rectify the clients issue. 

Once arriving on site in Richmond, our hot water plumber found that the pilot light had gone out. After relighting the pilot light, the plumber tested the unit and found it stayed lit, all running as normal. Upon further inspection, the hot water system was found to have two leaking pressure and temperature released (PTR) valves. These leaky valves were likely to be causing the hot water system issues, therefore our plumber replaced both PTR valves.
