Plumber Windang

Windang is a narrow strip with the lake on one side and the sea on the other, which is a lovely spot to live and a hard one on plumbing. The wind comes off salt water in both directions, the ground is sand, and the water table sits close to the surface almost everywhere between the bridge and the point.

The housing is a mix. Old beach shacks and fibro holiday places, a lot of them extended over the years by someone's uncle, sitting alongside rebuilt homes and units. That means we open up walls in Windang and find anything: galvanised, copper, old PVC and the occasional bit of work that was never meant to be permanent. Salt corrosion on outdoor hot water units and external fittings is the constant, and sandy ground means a leaking underground line can run for months without ever showing a wet patch.

Common plumbing jobs in Windang

• Hot water systems corroding early from constant salt air
• Hidden water leaks in sandy ground, located with proper gear before digging
• Blocked drains and stormwater lines, with sand and groundwater in the mix
• Leaking taps, toilets and seized outdoor taps and hose cocks
• Repairs and upgrades to older extension plumbing in holiday houses

Blocked drains and emergencies

Blocked drains are the most common emergency we get called to, and a high water table makes an old cracked line worse rather than better. If your drain only misbehaves after rain, that is the pipe telling you something.

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