Postwar Houses and a Growing Centre

Blacktown covers a wide span. Much of the housing is postwar, built through the 1950s to the 1970s, and around the centre there is an increasing amount of unit development.

In houses that old the pipework is the story. Earthenware sewer lines with decades of tree growth over them, galvanised water pipe that has been corroding from the inside since the day it went in, and hot water systems on their third or fourth replacement.

In the units it is shared drainage and common property, where the fault is often nowhere near the bathroom it is showing up in.

What We Get Called For

Common Plumbing Problems in Blacktown

Seventy years of housing in one suburb, plus a growing number of units.

Tree roots and old sewer lines

Earthenware drainage under seventy-year-old trees. Roots get in at the joints and catch everything. Jetted out, then a camera to see whether the pipe is still worth keeping.

Galvanised pipe corroding

Low pressure and rusty water in a house that has never been repiped. The pipe narrows from the inside until barely anything gets through. Replaced in sections or in full.

Units and shared drainage

A blockage in shared drainage surfaces at the lowest fixture on the line. We find where it actually is, and whether it is yours or the building's.

Hot water systems

Repairs and replacements, including the awkward installs in older houses where the unit is in a difficult spot.

Finding what is actually there

On an old property nobody knows what the drainage is made of or where it runs. A camera answers both without digging to find out.

Emergency callouts

Burst pipes, gas leaks and sewer overflows, 24 hours a day. Old pipework tends to fail at inconvenient times.

FAQs

Plumbing in Blacktown - Your Questions

Do you charge a call out fee in Blacktown?

No. Call out is free and so is the quote, at any hour, anywhere we service. You are told what the job involves and what it will cost before any work starts, so nothing on the invoice comes as a surprise.

What is the rusty water and low pressure in my older house?

Galvanised steel water pipe corroding from the inside. It is standard in houses of this era that have never been repiped - the bore narrows, the pressure drops, and the water picks up colour on the way through. It can be replaced section by section or in full, and we will tell you honestly which is worth doing.

I am in a unit. Who pays for a blocked drain?

It depends where the blockage is. Inside your own fixtures and branch lines it is normally yours. In shared drainage or the stack it is normally the building's. We establish which before anybody commits to paying for it, and we can put it in writing for your strata manager.

Do you come out to Blacktown after hours?

Yes, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, including public holidays, at no extra call out charge. Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer overflows and dead hot water units do not keep business hours.

Which council area is this?

Blacktown sits in the Blacktown City Council area, and Sydney Water handles the water and sewer mains. For most household jobs it makes no difference, but it matters on anything touching the sewer main or needing approval, and we will tell you upfront if your job is one of those.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Every job is carried out by a licensed plumber, backed by insurance and completed to Australian plumbing standards. Our licence number and ABN are at the bottom of every page on this site.
