Plumber Thirroul

Thirroul has been renovated harder than just about any suburb on the northern line. Behind the fresh paint on those weatherboard cottages between Lawrence Hargrave Drive and the beach there is often original pipework that has never been touched, and it tends to speak up the moment a new bathroom goes in above it.

Common plumbing jobs in Thirroul

• Galvanised water pipe in the older weatherboard and Federation homes, rusting from the inside and killing the pressure in the shower
• Bathroom and kitchen renovations, including moving waste and water lines that were laid when the outhouse was still in the yard
• Cast iron and earthenware sewer lines with tree roots in them, helped along by the big old figs and gums around Thomas Gibson Park and the surrounding streets
• Leaking taps and toilets that have been quietly running for months, usually noticed when the water bill arrives
• Hot water systems in awkward side passages where the replacement is half the work

Blocked drains and emergencies

Blocked drains are the most common emergency in Thirroul and the cause is nearly always roots or old pipe rather than anything you did. We camera the line, clear it and tell you whether it needs pipe relining or will be fine with a clean. After-hours call-outs are available. Extra charges apply depending on the job, and Brad will tell you the cost on the phone first.
