Plumber Barrack Heights

Barrack Heights sits on the rise between Little Lake and the coast down towards Barrack Point, and a lot of it is original fibro and brick from the 1960s and 70s. Plenty of these homes are still on their first bathroom, and a fair few are still on their first set of taps.

Older fibro houses have their own quirks. The pipework often runs in tight spaces with limited access, later additions have been plumbed onto the original line rather than run separately, and the hot water unit is usually out the side in whatever spot was convenient forty years ago. None of that is a problem, but it does mean a job takes a proper look before anyone quotes a price. We would rather work out what is actually behind the wall than guess and change the number later.

Common plumbing jobs in Barrack Heights

• Hot water systems long overdue for replacement, gas and electric
• Blocked sewer lines and slow drains in original earthenware pipe
• Dripping taps, running toilets and worn cisterns in original bathrooms
• Water leaks under the house and in the yard, located before digging
• Low pressure and rusty water from old galvanised pipework

Blocked drains and emergencies

Blocked drains are the most common emergency we get called out to, and in houses of this age it is usually roots or a broken section of pipe. Clearing it gets the house working again; a camera down the line tells you whether it will happen again next winter.

After-hours call-outs are available. Extra charges apply and depend on the job, and Brad tells you the cost on the phone before he comes out.
