Towradgi is flat, low and close to the water, with Towradgi Creek running out past the rock pool to the beach. Flat is lovely for a walk and a nuisance for drainage. When the Illawarra gets one of its proper downpours, the water sits around looking for somewhere to go, and the yards and stormwater pits down this end find out how good they really are.
Common plumbing jobs in Towradgi
- Stormwater pits, ag lines and downpipes that cannot keep up in heavy rain because there is very little fall to work with
- Sewer chokes in the 1960s and 70s brick homes, where the fall on the line is shallow and anything solid tends to stop
- Salt air on the streets nearest the beach and the caravan park, taking out tapware and external fittings early
- Hot water systems replaced in tight external cupboards and side passages
- Underground water leaks that are hard to spot on flat ground until the meter tells the story
Blocked drains and emergencies
Blocked drains are the most common emergency we get called to, and shallow fall makes Towradgi a repeat offender. We camera and locate the line, clear it, and tell you whether it is a one-off or a pipe that will keep doing this. After-hours call-outs are available. Extra charges apply depending on the job, and Brad tells you the cost on the phone before he comes out.
