Plumber Albion Park Rail

Albion Park Rail sits flat between the highway and the airport, on ground that used to be the Macquarie Rivulet floodplain and has not entirely forgotten it. Most of the housing is brick and fibro from the 1960s and 70s, and the block is level, which sounds like good news for drainage and often is not.

Flat ground means minimal fall on the sewer and stormwater lines. Minimal fall means anything that should keep moving through the pipe instead settles in it: grease, wipes, sand, silt washed in from a broken joint. Add a high water table after a wet week and drains that were fine in February start playing up in June. That is the sort of job we see all through this end of the suburb.

Common plumbing jobs in Albion Park Rail

• Blocked sewer and stormwater lines on flat blocks with little fall
• Overflow relief gullies surcharging after heavy rain
• Hot water systems past their use-by date on the older brick and fibro homes
• Water leaks located and repaired before they wreck a slab or a garden bed
• Leaking taps, toilets and worn cisterns

Blocked drains and emergencies

Blocked drains are the most common emergency we get called to, and around here they are usually the drainage line rather than the fixture. We clear it, then put a camera down so you know whether it is a one-off or a pipe that needs relining.

After-hours call-outs are available. Extra charges apply and depend on the job, and Brad tells you what it will cost on the phone first.
