Gas Storage & Continuous Flow
Repairs That Fix the Real Fault
A hot water system that stops working, runs lukewarm or starts leaking usually has one clear cause. On a gas unit it could be the pilot, the ignition, a valve or the gas supply itself. Guessing costs time and parts, so Epi tests before he replaces anything.
He repairs gas storage and continuous flow systems, and Rheem is the main brand he works on. With a plumbing licence and a gasfitting permit, he can look after both the water side and the gas side of the unit. Hot water sits alongside the general plumbing around Atwell Epi takes on, from leaking taps to new pipework.
Some faults are quick fixes, such as a worn relief valve or a pilot that won’t stay lit. Others point to a system near the end of its life. Either way, you get a straight answer and a free quote before any work starts.
Common Faults
What Stops a Gas Hot Water System Working?
Most hot water system repairs start with one of five problems. The signs can overlap, which is why Epi checks the unit before he quotes.
No Hot Water
What you noticeCold water from every hot tap, or a continuous flow unit that shows an error code and won’t fire.
How Epi fixes itThe gas supply, pilot and ignition checked in turn until the fault is found, then the failed part replaced.
Leaking Tank or Fittings
What you noticeWater pooling under the unit, damp brickwork or rust stains around the base of a storage tank.
How Epi fixes itLeaking valves and fittings replaced. A leak from the tank itself means the system needs replacing, and Epi will say so.
Dripping Relief Valve
What you noticeWater running from the relief valve drain pipe long after the tank has finished heating.
How Epi fixes itThe valve and the water pressure checked, and a worn valve replaced.
Pilot or Ignition Problems
What you noticeA pilot light that keeps going out, a burner that won’t light, or a unit that clicks without firing.
How Epi fixes itThe pilot, thermocouple or ignition parts cleaned or replaced, then the unit test-fired.
Lukewarm Water
What you noticeHot water that runs out early, never gets properly hot or swings between hot and cold.
How Epi fixes itSettings, burner and valves checked, including the tempering valve that mixes the hot water down.

5-Star Rated on Google
Epi was quick and efficient. Changed out the tap and noticed that one of the other hoses under our sink was worn. Caught it before it burst and saved us a big clean up and bill. Good quality work and reliable, use him for all our maintenance and Reno's from now on.
Had my whole house in Yanchep plumbed by him and his team and couldn’t be happier with the work. Great service, quality workmanship and easy to deal with throughout the job. Would happily recommend them to anyone needing a plumber!
Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended
I couldn’t be happier with the service provided. From start to finish, the plumber was professional, reliable, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and everything was completed with great attention to detail.
They took the time to explain the work clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was done properly. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who takes pride in their work, genuinely cares about their customers, and goes above and beyond expectations.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy plumber who delivers quality work and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.
Top class service from start to finish, highly recommend!

Call or send the form with what the system is doing, its type if you know it, and your suburb.
Fault Found
Small problems can often be talked through over the phone. Bigger ones get an on-site look at the unit.
Free Quote
Epi explains the fault in plain words and gives you a free quote. If a repair isn’t worth it, he tells you.

Tested Before Sign-Off

Honest Advice
Repair the Unit or Replace It?
A repair makes sense when the tank is sound and one part has failed. Relief valves, pilots, thermocouples and tempering valves can all be swapped on a working system. It is usually the quicker and cheaper way back to hot water.
Replacing makes more sense when the tank itself is leaking, the casing is rusting through or the same faults keep coming back. A storage tank that leaks from its body can’t be patched. Epi tells you which side of the line your system is on, and why.
If a new system is the better answer, he explains the options and what each one involves. You decide with a free quote in hand and no pressure to go ahead. A repair that only buys a few weeks is money better spent elsewhere.

Before You Call
Questions About Hot Water Repairs
Straight answers about gas hot water faults, relief valves and when a repair is worth it. Can’t see your question? Call or send the form.
Why do I have no hot water in my Atwell home?
On a gas system, the usual causes are a pilot that has gone out, an ignition fault, a failed thermocouple or a problem with the gas supply. Hot water system repairs for these faults are often straightforward once the cause is found. Call with what the unit is doing and Epi will help narrow it down.
Is a dripping relief valve normal?
A small release while a storage tank heats up can be normal. A steady drip or a constant flow is not, and usually means a worn valve or water pressure that is too high. Epi checks both and replaces the valve if it has worn out.
Can a leaking hot water tank be repaired?
It depends where the leak is coming from. Leaking valves and fittings can be replaced, but a tank that leaks from its body can’t be patched and needs replacing. Epi shows you where the water is coming from before he recommends anything.
Do you repair continuous flow systems in Cockburn and Rockingham?
Yes. Epi carries out hot water system repairs on gas continuous flow and gas storage units across the Cockburn, Kwinana, Rockingham and Mandurah areas. Rheem is the main brand he works on.
What should I do if I smell gas near the hot water system?
Turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder, open the doors and windows, and don’t light a flame or flick a switch. Building and Energy also asks you to report it to your gas supplier. Once it is safe, Epi can find and fix the problem.
Do you charge for a hot water repair quote?
No, every quote is free. Small problems can often be assessed over the phone, and bigger jobs get an on-site look so the quote is accurate. Repairs carry a 12 month guarantee on parts and labour.
