Plumber Kiama

Kiama is a regular part of Brad's run south. He has been plumbing in the Illawarra for 23 years, and the stretch from the Blowhole back up past Bombo is well-worn ground.

The housing here keeps it interesting. Around Terralong Street and the older lanes behind the harbour there are cottages and terraces that have been added to two or three times over, which usually means original earthenware sewer lines still doing the work under a garden that has had eighty years to grow into them. Closer to the water, salt air goes through tapware, fittings and hot water casings faster than it does a few kilometres inland. Plenty of Kiama houses are also let out to visitors, so a problem tends to surface on a Friday afternoon when someone has just arrived with a boot full of bags.

Common plumbing jobs in Kiama

• Tree roots in old earthenware sewer lines behind the older cottages
• Pipe relining where digging up a heritage garden or a paved courtyard is not an option
• Hot water systems that have gone early thanks to salt air
• Leaking taps, mixers and toilets in houses that cop heavy visitor use
• Between-guest maintenance on holiday lettings

Blocked drains and emergencies

Blocked drains are the most common emergency we get called to, in Kiama and everywhere else. Brad clears the blockage, then puts a camera down to work out why it happened, because a drain that blocks once will block again. After-hours call-outs are available. Extra charges apply depending on the job and the distance, and Brad tells you what it will cost on the phone before he sets off. No surprises when the invoice turns up.

Brad Powell is a licensed plumber, drainer and gas fitter, licence 182283C, fully insured, and 23 years into the trade. He answers his own phone on 0426 963 260, so you get the plumber rather than a call centre.
