What the Cottage Grid Asks of a Plumber

Tram-era drains under tight lots

Some of the sewers here date from the 1890s, when the trams first reached the suburb, and those earthenware pipes give way one joint at a time beneath the weatherboard and brick cottages. When a line keeps blocking, the camera goes in before anyone quotes a fix.

Galvanised supply that has furred solid

Galvanised steel pipe fed many of the weatherboard cottages, and once renovators open a wall they often find corroded water lines that have to be renewed all the way to the meter. Poor flow to a back-of-house bathroom is the usual first sign.

Low ground and storm runoff

The ground slopes down to Throsby Creek on both flanks, and summer downpours running off the TAFE campus hardstand load the stormwater system fast. A yard pit that surcharges in a cloudburst is a drainage job, not bad luck.

Leftover gas from another era

Houses that once ran gas lights may still hide disused pipe, which a renovation should find and seal off, and salt-laden air corrodes flexi hose braids in newer bathrooms faster than people expect.

The Work We Do From Here

Blocked drains

From the cottage grid to the streets behind the TAFE campus, cleared and camera-checked

Hot water

Repairs and replacements, including the externally mounted units that rust through behind older cottages

Gas fitting

By a licensed gas fitter, from cooktop connections to capping redundant lighting-era runs

Emergency plumbing

When a brittle galvanised riser gives way behind a wall or a sewer overflows at the lowest gully in the yard

Before You Ring About a Slow Drain

A drain that gurgles, smells or backs up into the lowest fixture on these flat falls usually has roots or a dropped earthenware joint in it. A camera inspection shows exactly what the line holds before any garden near the tram bridge end of the grid gets opened up, and the footage is yours to keep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge a call-out fee in Tighes Hill?

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). The after-hours rate is spelled out before the van leaves, so nothing on the invoice surprises you.

Can old gas lighting pipes in a Tighes Hill cottage be made safe?

Yes. Some cottages here that used gas for lighting a century ago still hold redundant pipe runs behind walls or under floors. We trace the line, cap what is no longer used and pressure-test what stays, then certify the work.
