Other Services
We offer more than just plumbing, roofing, insulation and solar. Our experienced team also provides a range of additional services.
Waterproofing
Effective waterproofing is one of the most important components of any bathroom, ensuite, laundry or wet area. While it may be hidden beneath the tiles, a professionally installed waterproofing system plays a critical role in protecting your home from water damage, leaks, mould and mildew.
For more than 20 years, Powers Insulation & Plumbing has been providing trusted waterproofing solutions to local homeowners, builders & renovators. Fully accredited with Ardex Australia, we offer the added assurance of a 10-year Waterproofing Compliance Certificate, giving you confidence that your project is protected for years to come.
Using premium ARDEX waterproofing membranes and a proven two-coat application system, we ensure surfaces are properly prepared & protected before tiling begins. Our efficient process helps keep your project moving while maintaining the highest standards of workmanship.
To further enhance protection, all tap penetrations are sealed using Waterbar Tap Penetration Flanges & Seals, providing superior defence against water ingress in vulnerable areas.
In addition to wet areas, Powers also specialises in the waterproofing of retaining walls and other structures requiring long-term moisture protection. Whether you’re building, renovating or repairing, our experienced team can provide a waterproofing solution tailored to your needs.
Contact Powers today to discuss your waterproofing requirements. For trade professionals, we also stock a large range of Ardex waterproofing products ready for dispatch.
Roof Ventilators
A roof ventilator, commonly known as a whirlybird or roof vent, is an effective way to improve airflow throughout your home. By extracting hot, stale air from your roof space, roof ventilators help keep your home cooler during summer while reducing moisture build-up and condensation throughout winter.
Available in Zincalume® and a wide range of Colorbond® colours, there’s a style to complement almost any roof. Powers can supply & professionally install roof ventilators, including the custom manufacture of flashing where required to ensure a secure, watertight finish.
With warranties of up to 10 years, you can enjoy improved comfort, energy efficiency, and long-lasting peace of mind.
Contact Powers today to discuss the right roof ventilation solution for your home, business or shed.
Skylights
Whether you’re considering a Velux skylight, a traditional skylight, or a modern Illume electronic skylight, bringing natural light into your home can significantly reduce the need for artificial lighting and help create a brighter, more inviting living space. Skylights are a great way to illuminate dark rooms, hallways, and corners of your home without the need to switch on a light during the day.
Modern Illume electronic skylights offer the appearance of a traditional skylight without the associated heat transfer, making them ideal for Australian conditions. They also eliminate issues such as insects entering through ventilation openings and can be switched off when installed near bedrooms, media rooms, or other spaces where darkness is preferred.
Available in a range of round and square designs and various sizes, skylights can be tailored to suit almost any room, ceiling type, or application.
Need an existing skylight repaired? In many cases, damaged or worn components can be replaced, extending the life of your existing skylight and restoring its performance without the expense of a complete replacement.
Contact Powers today to discuss the best skylight solution for your home or business and enjoy the benefits of natural light year-round.
Seasonal Servicing & Repairs
Evaporative Cooling, Gas Ducted Heating & Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning
Regular servicing is essential to keep your heating and cooling systems operating efficiently, safely and reliably throughout the year. Whether you’re preparing for the warmer months or getting ready for winter, Powers can help keep your system performing at its best.
After sitting unused for months, evaporative coolers, often known as a swampy, can accumulate dust, debris, spiders and other unwanted visitors. Before summer arrives, a professional seasonal start-up service ensures your system is clean, operating correctly and ready to keep you comfortable.
Our evaporative cooler seasonal service includes an EsyDose® chemical treatment, internal cleaning, system inspection and a thorough check for leaks or faults. At the end of the cooling season, we can also shut down the system, clean it out, isolate the water supply and refit the winter cover to protect it during the off-season.
If your reverse cycle, or split-system, air conditioner isn’t performing as well as it should, our team can provide professional servicing and repairs to restore efficient operation and maintain optimal comfort year-round.
We also service and repair ducted gas heating systems and portable gas heaters, ensuring they operate safely, efficiently and reliably when you need them most.
Whether it’s cooling, heating, servicing or repairs, contact Powers today to keep your system running smoothly through every season.
Seasonal Servicing & Repairs
Solar Hot Water Heaters & Solar Power
Regular servicing is essential to ensure your solar hot water and solar power systems continue operating efficiently, safely and reliably for years to come.
For storage hot water systems, including solar hot water units, an annual inspection is recommended to identify potential issues before they become costly repairs. A key component of this maintenance is the sacrificial anode, which is typically replaced every five years to help prevent internal tank corrosion and significantly extend the life of the tank.
Routine checks for leaks, corrosion, valves, connections and general system performance can help maximise the lifespan of your hot water service while reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns at the worst possible time.
Solar power systems can also lose efficiency over time due to dirt build-up on panels, weather exposure and deteriorating electrical connections. Even minor resistance within the system can reduce energy production and impact the overall performance of your investment.
Our experienced technicians can inspect, service and assess your system to ensure it continues operating at peak efficiency. By identifying problems early, you can avoid unnecessary repairs and maintain maximum energy savings.
With licensed and qualified tradespeople, you can have confidence that all servicing is completed to industry standards and manufacturer requirements. Regular maintenance also helps protect your manufacturer’s warranty and ensures your system continues to deliver reliable performance for years to come.
To keep your solar hot water and solar power systems performing at their best, contact Powers today to arrange a professional annual service & enjoy the peace of mind that comes from expert care and preventative maintenance.
