Mount Kembla is a village on a hill with a long memory. Old cottages around the village and the mine memorial at Windy Gully, bush blocks spread up Cordeaux Road and along Harry Graham Drive, and a lot of properties where the house is a fair walk from the road. Plumbing up here is less about suburbia and more about pressure, distance and rainwater.
Common plumbing jobs in Mount Kembla
- Rainwater tanks, pressure pumps and the switching gear that fails quietly until nobody has water
- Long water services running from the meter up a driveway, where a leak can go unnoticed for months
- Old village cottages on original drainage, with bushland roots getting into every available joint
- Hot water systems on properties where the run to the bathroom is long enough that you wait a while for it to arrive
- Stormwater and surface run-off coming off the hill and down driveways, taking soil and gravel with it
Blocked drains and emergencies
Blocked drains are the most common emergency we attend, and up here bushland roots do most of the damage. We locate the blockage rather than digging hopefully, clear it, and tell you what state the pipe is in. After-hours call-outs are available. Extra charges apply depending on the job. Ring Brad and he will tell you what it will cost before he starts up the hill.
