Plumber Koonawarra

Koonawarra sits between Kanahooka Road and the lake, and a good chunk of it went up in the 1960s and 70s. Plenty of fibro and simple brick homes, plenty of original bathrooms, and plenty of pipework that has been doing its job for sixty years without being asked how it feels about it.

The giveaway in these houses is water pressure. Galvanised steel water pipe rusts from the inside out, and the bore closes up slowly until one day the shower is a dribble whenever someone flushes the toilet. Low pressure, rusty water first thing in the morning, or a tap that spits before it runs are all signs the pipework is done rather than the tap.

Common plumbing jobs in Koonawarra

• Low water pressure and discoloured water from old galvanised pipe
• Blocked sewer lines in original earthenware drainage
• Hot water systems long past their warranty, replaced same day where we can
• Leaking taps, toilets and cisterns in original bathrooms and laundries
• Hidden water leaks pushing up the water bill

Blocked drains and emergencies

Blocked drains are the most common emergency we get called out to. In the older Koonawarra homes it is usually roots or a collapsed section of clay pipe rather than anything anyone put down the sink, and a proper clear plus a camera tells you which one you are dealing with before you spend money.

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