Plumber Oak Flats

Oak Flats does what its name says. Flat ground between the southern edge of Lake Illawarra and the airport, streets laid out in the 1960s and 70s, brick veneer and fibro homes with established gardens and some very well-fed trees.

That combination produces the classic Illawarra drainage job. Original earthenware sewer lines, joints every metre, big camphor laurels and gums nearby, and enough moisture in the ground to keep roots interested year-round. Once roots are in a line, clearing it gets you going again but they come back. That is where relining earns its keep: a new liner cured inside the old pipe seals the joints without digging up the yard, the driveway or the back patio.

Common plumbing jobs in Oak Flats

• Blocked sewer and stormwater lines from tree roots in old clay pipe
• Pipe relining and sewer renewals where a line is cracked or root-infested
• Hot water systems past their tenth or fifteenth year
• Leaking taps, toilets and original bathroom fittings
• Burst pipes and no-water call-outs

Blocked drains and emergencies

Blocked drains are the most common emergency we get called to, and in Oak Flats they are the bread and butter. We clear the line first, then camera it, so you can see whether you have a one-off blockage or a pipe that is going to keep doing this every winter.

After-hours call-outs are available. Extra charges apply and depend on the job, and Brad tells you what it costs on the phone before he heads over.
