Fairy Meadow has the widest spread of housing of anywhere on this stretch. There is original fibro and brick on the older streets, unit blocks going up along the highway, and a steady supply of rentals near the university and the Innovation Campus. A share house wears a bathroom out faster than a retired couple does, and the call-outs reflect that.
Common plumbing jobs in Fairy Meadow
- Blocked toilets and drains in share houses and rentals, mostly wipes and everything else that should never have gone down there
- Fairy Creek and the flatter ground near Puckeys Estate meaning damp yards and stormwater that struggles after a big rain
- Older fibro and brick homes on original galvanised water lines with pressure that has dropped off over the years
- Hot water systems working hard in houses with four or five people and one shower
- Leaking taps, mixers and cisterns in units and villas, often reported by a tenant weeks after they started
Blocked drains and emergencies
Blocked drains are the most common emergency in this suburb by a fair margin. We locate the blockage, clear it and tell you whether it is behaviour, a broken pipe, or roots. After-hours call-outs are available. Extra charges apply and depend on the job. Ask Brad on the phone and he will tell you the cost before he heads over, which is a better system than finding out afterwards.
