Simon had just put his son to bed when he noticed what appeared to be a damp patch on the ceiling, directly under the bathroom. Charlotte hadn’t noticed it before either, he found out after asking her. It worried her, but it was late and it could probably wait till tomorrow.

The next morning Charlotte was on the phone to her local Elizabeth Bay plumber, explaining the damp patch. Simon would be home at around midday, and fortunately there was an available spot then! Just before 11, Simon had a call from the plumber to say that he would be there in half an hour. Just enough time for Simon to get home from work and let the plumber in!

Once the plumber had looked at the damp spot he advised Simon that tests would need to be done. They trekked upstairs and Simon watched as the plumber began testing the fixtures. He ran large amounts of water through the drains, then headed downstairs to check. Flood testing, he called it. The Plumber ran through the possible causes of the leak. But the testing didn’t show anything obvious. So back downstairs they headed. Simon agreed to let the plumber cut open the ceiling, and found a small crack in a pipe. The drip had been there for awhile, but had only recently become visible. Imagining they’d have to rip out the plumbing of the entire bathroom, Simon was relieved when the Plumber told him he could repair the problem that day, and even gave him the price! Simon agreed and watched as the plumber repaired the problem quite efficiently!

That evening, when Charlotte got home from picking their son up, the first thing she asked was about the leak. She, too, was surprised at how quickly the problem had been fixed!
