“Called Dowell plumbing out after my hotwater sprung a leak, he explained options with me clearly and went over pros and cons, pricing was upfront and honest. Very happy with the work that has been done, I will be using Dowell plumbing in future.”

Louis Morris Google

“I was recommended Dowell Plumbing (Ash) in my local suburb community Facebook group, and honestly I’m so glad I reached out. I’d already spoken to another plumber who gave me a pretty ridiculous quote for my bathroom and price which left me feeling like I was being scammed. Ash came out, had a proper look at everything and actually took the time to explain and show me what needed to be done and what didn’t. There was no pressure or trying to add unnecessary things. Not to mention his price was very reasonable and confirmed the other quote I had received was trying to scam me. He was very friendly, professional, time efficient and did an amazing job. Definitely understand now why so many people recommended him! Would happily use Ash again and will be recommending him to all my friends and family”

Common questions

Why is my water pressure low?

Low water pressure can stem from a partially closed stop tap, a failing pressure limiting valve, blocked aerators, corroded galvanised pipes, or a hidden leak. Sometimes it affects the whole home; other times just one tap.

Read the full guide

How do I find a hidden water leak?

Signs of a hidden leak include an unexplained jump in your water bill, damp patches or mould, the sound of running water, or a water meter that keeps ticking over when everything is turned off.

Read the full guide

When should pipes be replaced?

Older Adelaide homes may still have galvanised steel pipes that corrode and restrict flow over time. Frequent leaks, discoloured water, low pressure and pipe age are all signs that repiping may be worthwhile.

Read the full guide

Why is my toilet constantly running?

A running toilet is usually caused by a worn flush valve (flapper), a faulty inlet valve, or an incorrectly set water level. It can silently waste thousands of litres and inflate your water bill.

Read the full guide

What does a gas leak smell like?

Natural gas is odourless, so a distinctive rotten-egg or sulfur smell is added so leaks can be detected. You may also hear a hissing sound near a gas line or appliance, or notice dead vegetation near an underground line.

Read the full guide

What should I do if I smell gas?

Treat it as an emergency. Get everyone out of the building straight away — don't wait to see whether the smell gets stronger. Do not operate light switches, appliances or anything that could create a spark, and don't use a phone inside the building.
