What is an Overflow Relief Gully?
How does it work?
Claiming insurance following a sewer spill inside a property
Make sure your Overflow Relief Gully is not:
- underneath the property as a result of not being moved when a house extension was built (a plumber should move the existing ORG as part of constructing a house extension)
- blocked with concrete as a result of driveway or paving construction
- covered by landscaping or garden beds
- covered by any objects
- unable to pop off because it is corroded, filled with silt or concreted in
- a model which requires manual twisting in order to pop out.
Make sure your Overflow Relief Gully has:
- a clear drainage path (so spills drain away quickly without causing damage)
- a fitting that can pop off completely
- been installed at the correct level*

Toilet Themed Restaurant
This place looks interesting. Though I am not to sure about the dessert, it brings back too many memories.
The difference between a Bidet and a Bidett
This is a traditional Bidet, notice the water shoots up from the bottom. The installation of this fixture requires the application of many plumbing rules and is very expensive to comply with all those rules and regulations, to do with backflow prevention, water temperature, all very boring things unless your a plumber.
A Bidett is a poor man’s Bidet, the water comes over the top. They are not subject to the same rules and regulations and are much cheaper to install.

I think this one was installed incorrectly

Roof Safety
If you fall off a single storey roof you will most likely be seriously injured or dead. If you fall off a double storey roof you will definitely seriously or more likely dead. Evaporative cooling on roofs will need to be services, and they will break down. When this happens somebody will need to access the unit to repair it. You cannot get up on a roof if it is wet or too hot. This can be time consuming, require multiple service technicians, anchor points, ropes and harnesses and as a result the cost can be seemingly expensive.
Air Conditioners over 10 years old
Appliances over 10 years old break down. Generally they have specific parts and electronic control system. If a circuit board is faulty these can be expensive to replace, these can sometimes be repaired be sent to a specialist repair that may or may not be able to repair the electronic circuit board. Repairs can take, a week or several weeks and this can be very difficult emotionally, to cope without. The electronics and design is over 10 years old. There is no guarantee that another problem will not occur.
Do you pay for an expensive repair on an appliance that is older than the life it was designed for?
Do you install a new system, more efficient, updated technology with a new warranty generally 3-5 years?
Your repairer cannot make the decision for you, they cannot be held responsible for the decision you made, especially if the repair cost more than a new system would to install.
