🐜 Electric ants beware…the plumbers are after you!

The team at Mick Jorgo’s Plumbing in Cairns hosted an Electric Ants Toolbox Talk information session and now know how to identify electric ants, their habitats, and how they can hitchhike in materials being moved around work sites.

The team understands the importance of checking the online interactive map before heading out to new work sites, and best- practise methods to reduce the risk of spread.

The National Electric Ant Eradication Program very much appreciates our local tradies’ support in getting on board the great ant hunt.

Eradication is a community effort, and the more eyes we have on the ground, the quicker we can find every last one of these invasive pests.

Thanks Mick Jorgo Plumber & Gas Fitter and welcome to the community cavalry!

Important message

🌧️ As we enter the wet season, now is a good time to check the overflow relief gully (ORG) at your home is working effectively.

An ORG is an essential part of your home’s drainage system, that provides relief in the event of a sewage surcharge.

If you live in a low-lying area, it’s even more important to check your ORG.

𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿

▶️ Stormwater should not rise above or flow into your ORG as this may flood the sewerage network and lead to a nasty mess inside your home. Stormwater run-off from water tanks or downpipes should not be directed to your ORG or connected to the sewerage network.

▶️ If your ORG is covered or blocked, it can’t do its job, which can lead to sewage overflowing inside your home if a pipe is blocked. Remove anything on top of the ORG. Plants, buckets or objects on top of an ORG can block sewage, which means any overflow will end up inside the house.

If you’re unsure if your ORG is compliant, contact a licensed plumber.

A perfect example of a good jet and camera job!

Insurers received more than 30,000 claims for water damage caused by the failure of braided flexible hoses during 2018.

Flexi hoses are under your sink and connect your water supply to the taps. But they need to be replaced, around once every five to ten years, otherwise they disintegrate and can lead to serious water damage in our homes.

That’s why it’s important to check your flexi hoses, says QBE General Manager of Short Tail Claims Arron Mann. But remember, replacing a flexi hose is a job for a qualified plumber.
