Plumber Erskineville work in Victorian terraces

The terraces sit on heritage drainage: old earthenware and cast iron lines with joints that have shifted over more than a century. Rear lanes, shared walls and tight courtyards make access part of the job. A plumber Erskineville terraces need should camera the drain before quoting, and we do, so the price matches what's actually under the floor. Roots, old joints and wipes are the usual causes of a blockage. See blocked drains in Erskineville.

New apartments along the redevelopment corridor

The newer towers have central hot water in some buildings, shared stacks, and the usual early faults in mixers, cisterns and shower seals. Defects in a new building may be the builder's to fix, so check with your strata manager before paying. As a plumber Erskineville strata managers can call, we service central hot water plant and report back with photos and recommendations.

Erskineville Road pubs and cafés

The pubs, cafés and restaurants along Erskineville Road need grease traps serviced, busy bathrooms kept working and repairs done outside trading hours. A plumber Erskineville venues book from us plans the noisy work around service. Busy bathrooms need cisterns and taps that stand up to a full weekend, and a blocked urinal or floor waste can't wait for Monday. See our commercial plumbing service.

Terraces with upstairs bathrooms

Many terraces have had a bathroom added upstairs. When a seal or pipe in that floor fails, the stain appears on the ceiling below. We find the leak with pressure testing and thermal imaging before cutting into anything. For a plumber, Erskineville's upstairs bathrooms are a test-first job.

Water pressure in old terraces

Low pressure in an Erskineville terrace usually comes from old supply pipe that has narrowed inside, or a tap or valve that has worn out. Upstairs bathrooms feel it first. A plumber Erskineville terraces call from us tests the pressure at the meter and at the tap, so you know whether it's the pipe, a fitting or the street supply before anything is replaced.

Hot water

Terrace hot water units sit in back laundries or narrow side passages, and apartment units sit in cupboards. Either way, the replacement has to fit the space. A plumber Erskineville homes book for hot water tests the unit and prices a repair and a replacement side by side.

Rentals

Plenty of Erskineville homes are rented. Agents and landlords can book us for their tenants directly, and a plumber Erskineville property managers use from us arranges access and sends a short report afterwards.

Urgent calls

For a burst pipe, a gas smell or sewage coming up through a floor waste, call our 24/7 line. A plumber Erskineville residents ring after hours gets help isolating the supply and an honest time for the drive from Earlwood.
