Plumber Kiama Downs

Kiama Downs sits between the Minnamurra River and Jones Beach, and it is a short hop off the highway for us. Brad has worked this side of Kiama for years, so the streets climbing the hill are familiar.

The housing stock here is newer than the old town. A lot of it went up from the nineties onward, with more recent subdivisions filling in behind, so the jobs are different. Instead of failing earthenware sewer lines you get houses with an ensuite, a main bathroom and a laundry all hanging off the same run, instantaneous gas hot water units mounted on an external wall, and mixer tapware that starts weeping about the time the warranty runs out. Being this close to the beach, anything metal on an outside wall ages faster than the brochure suggested.

Common plumbing jobs in Kiama Downs

• Instantaneous and storage hot water repairs and replacements
• Gas hot water and cooktop installs, and gas point work for barbecues
• Blocked drains, including lines still carrying builder's rubbish from construction
• Leaking mixer taps, running toilets and dripping outside taps
• Second bathroom and ensuite work in the newer estates

Blocked drains and emergencies

Blocked drains are the most common emergency call we take. In a newer house it is usually wipes, roots finding a poorly bedded joint, or something left in a line when the place was built. Brad clears it and finds the cause rather than just shifting the problem downstream. After-hours call-outs are available, extra charges apply depending on the job and how far we are travelling, and you will be told the cost on the phone first.
