One Build Era, One Set of Pipes

Everything went up at once

Land surveyed in 1889 sat largely empty until developers started building here in the late 1960s, and by the eighties the slopes under Munibung Hill were lined with brick-veneer family homes. Census figures count 1,247 dwellings, almost all of them detached houses stepping down from Macquarie Road.

The sewers share that age

Those streets were connected in clay pipe during the final years before plastic, so one generation of earthenware joints sits under nearly the whole suburb.

Ground that swells and shrinks

Reactive clay over shale moves each time it wets and dries. Half a century of that movement pulls earthenware joints open, and an open joint lets in roots, silt and groundwater.

Hot water ages in step

Homes built in one wave replace their tanks in waves too. Original owners have already replaced a tank once or twice, and the units fitted in the latest round are the next to go.

How the Quotes Work

We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

So the agreed price holds even when a job runs long.

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours).

On this hill the figure moves with:

Reaching the pipe A pipe under the floor or behind a retaining wall on a benched block takes longer to reach than one beside the driveway.
What the pipe is Clay sewers, copper water services and plastic lines are cut, joined and repaired with different fittings.
Parts and units Valves, fittings or a whole new tank, each named in the quote.
Time of day Work at night or on a weekend is charged at its own rate, shown in the quote you approve.

We're not the right call for a retaining wall that has moved or cracked. That is a builder's repair, and the drainage behind it waits until the wall is sound.

What the Call Looks Like

1
Ring or send the form

2
A fixed price first

4
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

Old Gardens, Old Sewers

Gardens as old as the pipes

The suburb only got its own name in 2001, after decades counted as part of Cardiff, but its gardens have been growing since the first houses went in. Big figs and gums along the Californian-named streets, Pasadena Crescent among them, now spread their roots over the clay lines below.

Roots follow moisture

A root hair finds the smallest gap at a clay joint and thickens inside it, so a drain can block, clear and block again from the same entry point.

Film before you dig

A camera pass shows which joint is letting roots in before anyone opens a retaining wall or a terraced garden, and it turns a repeat clear into a repair aimed at the actual fault.

What Customers Say

These are words from customers, exactly as they left them.

Recently, they went above and beyond the quote to fix another problem. We are very pleased with their reliability, professionalism and reasonable costing.

Questions Worth Asking First

What does it cost to have you come out?

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). Once the plumber has looked at the fault you get a fixed price, and nothing starts until you approve it. Night and weekend visits carry an after-hours rate, which you hear before you book.

Which suburbs do you cover?

The same crew works Macquarie Hills and the suburbs that touch it: Cardiff, Cardiff South, Lakelands, Warners Bay, Speers Point and Boolaroo. One phone number reaches us from any of them, and quotes are fixed the same way in each.

Are you available after hours and on weekends?

Yes. We are Available 24/7, because a burst hose or an overflowing sewer does not wait for business hours. Night and weekend work carries its own rate, quoted when you ring, so you can choose a morning visit instead.

Will the quote change once the work starts?

No. The price you approve is the price that stands. If opening up a job exposes something nobody could have seen, we stop, show you the problem and quote that extra work separately before touching it, so nothing is added without your say.

Water is pouring through my yard after a storm. Is that an emergency?

On this hill it can be. Runoff picks up speed down the slopes, and one blocked pit can push a neighbour's stormwater into the yard below. If water is getting into the house or building up against a retaining wall, ring (02) 4093 0558 straight away.

Do you do gas work as well as water pipes?

Yes. Licensed gas fitters work alongside the plumbers, so new gas appliances, leak tracing and line repairs are all covered. Gas jobs get a fixed quote in the same way as drains and hot water.
