Plumber Shell Cove

Shell Cove has gone up quickly and it has gone up close to the water. The streets running back from the marina and down towards Killalea are all newer builds on sandy ground, with alfresco areas, outdoor kitchens and a lot of glass facing the sea. It is a nice place to work. It is also a place where the sea air quietly takes years off anything installed outside.

Newer houses do not have old pipe problems, they have fittings problems. Flexible hoses, mixer cartridges and tempering valves reach the end of their working life on a schedule, and in a street where every house was built in the same couple of years they tend to reach it together. Combine that with salt corrosion on external units and the outdoor gas gear, and there is plenty here for a plumber who is not just chasing new construction.

Common plumbing jobs in Shell Cove

• Gas points for outdoor kitchens, barbecues, cooktops and heating
• Continuous flow and storage hot water units, serviced or replaced
• Failed flexible hoses and leaking mixer tapware in near-new homes
• Corroded external fittings, outdoor taps and shower rails from the salt air
• Second bathrooms, laundries and kitchen upgrades

Blocked drains and emergencies

Blocked drains are the most common emergency we get called to. In a newer suburb it is rarely age, it is what has gone down the line, including leftovers from the build. We clear it and camera it so you know which one you have.

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