For a demanding hospitality venue like Kickin’ Inn, located at 309 Bay St, Port Melbourne, VIC 3207, plumbing issues cannot wait. As a regular service provider for the restaurant, Your Choice Plumbers was called in to handle a critical dual maintenance job: a leak on a commercial dishwasher and a complex repair on an in-wall toilet cistern. This job highlights the specialized knowledge required for Port Melbourne commercial plumbing.

The Dual Challenge of Commercial Plumbing

The nature of commercial environments means wear-and-tear happens faster. Our job involved two distinct issues that required specialized knowledge:

  1. Commercial Drain Repair: The first task was replacing a worn-out 20mm drain hose on the commercial Comenda Front Loader dishwasher. Constant heavy use had degraded the hose, causing a small, but potentially disruptive, leak in the commercial kitchen.
  2. The Complex Cistern Leak: The major challenge was a heavy leak in the powder room’s Caroma Invisi Series II in-wall cistern. The leak was caused by a failure in the inlet valve, leading to water overflowing into the toilet bowl.

Expertise in Concealed and Commercial Systems

Repairing a concealed cistern requires specialized knowledge to avoid damaging the unit or the wall. Your Choice Plumbers’ expertise was essential in diagnosing and fixing this problem:

  • Accessing the Cistern: Our plumber demonstrated proficiency by executing the tricky procedure for accessing the Caroma Invisi Series II. This involved locating the special Allen key hidden beneath the flush buttons, removing them, and then carefully removing the large stainless steel cistern cover—a procedure unfamiliar to most general plumbers.
  • Precise Diagnosis & Sourcing: The failed inlet valve was quickly confirmed. The correct replacement part was sourced immediately from Reece Plumbing in South Melbourne (Cecil Street).
  • Quick Restoration: The repair was carried out swiftly and the system was fully tested to ensure a perfect, watertight seal before reassembling the unit.

The quick turnaround and specialized knowledge applied to both the commercial drain and the complex cistern fix minimized disruption, allowing Kickin’ Inn to maintain its busy schedule.
