Plumber Coledale

Coledale is a narrow strip of houses between the escarpment and Sharkeys Beach, and most of it went up for miners rather than for anyone thinking about future bathroom layouts. Small cottages, tight lanes, and drainage that was installed a very long time ago. It is a good suburb and a demanding one, and Brad has been working it for years.

Common plumbing jobs in Coledale

• Original earthenware sewer lines under the old miners' cottages, cracked at the joints and full of roots
• Access jobs down narrow lanes and shared driveways where the pipework runs under someone else's paving
• Escarpment run-off after heavy rain overloading stormwater lines that were sized for a smaller house a long time ago
• Water leaks in old galvanised mains, usually announced by a pressure drop or a patch of grass that stays green all summer
• Hot water systems near the beach reserve where salt air shortens the life of the tank and the fittings around it

Blocked drains and emergencies

Blocked drains are the emergency we get called out to most often, and in Coledale they are usually roots, old pipe, or a big rain event finding the weakest joint. We locate the problem properly, clear it and tell you straight whether relining is worth it. After-hours call-outs are available. Extra charges apply depending on the job, and Brad will tell you the cost on the phone before he starts driving.
