How much does plumbing cost in Albury-Wodonga?+

How do I stop pipes freezing in winter?+
Lag any exposed pipework, garden taps, hot water relief lines and pipes under high-set floors with foam pipe insulation, drain outdoor irrigation before the first frosts, and if you are away in winter leave the heating on low. Albury-Wodonga frosts are regular and hard enough to split pipes. A plumber can lag a whole house in an hour or two.
My old house has low water pressure. What is going on?+
Probably galvanised steel supply pipe corroding from the inside, common in the older parts of both cities. It cannot be cleaned; the fix is replacing the affected run in copper or PEX. A plumber can confirm with a pressure test and tell you whether it is one section or the whole house.
