Warrawong went up in the fifties for steelworks families and it still has the housing to prove it: fibro and brick homes on modest blocks, unit blocks and villas closer to the Plaza and King Street, and Lake Illawarra sitting at the bottom of the suburb. A lot of these houses are on their original drainage and their fourth set of tap washers.
Common plumbing jobs in Warrawong
- Blocked sewer lines in the 1950s homes, where earthenware pipe and street trees have been arguing for seventy years
- Original bathrooms and laundries where taps seize, spindles fail and the whole fixture ends up being replaced
- Hot water systems past their life, often in an outside cupboard where the first sign of trouble is a wet driveway
- Shared drainage in the unit blocks and villas near the Plaza, where the blockage is rarely where the complaint came from
- Low, flat ground near the lake foreshore that holds water after heavy rain and slows the stormwater down
Blocked drains and emergencies
Blocked drains are the most common emergency we attend, and Warrawong's old lines mean we see plenty of them. We locate the blockage rather than guessing at it, clear it, and tell you honestly whether the pipe needs relining. After-hours call-outs are available. Extra charges apply and depend on the job, and Brad will tell you the cost on the phone before he heads over.
