Plumber Newtown

Hot water systems for Newtown's older homes

Plenty of Newtown homes are still running hot water systems installed decades ago, and an old tank rarely gives much warning before it lets go. We repair and replace electric and gas storage units and gas continuous flow systems, and we will tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it or the money is better spent on a new unit. Fixed hot water pricing is quoted upfront, and same-day changeovers are possible for common sizes.

Blocked drains and Newtown's earthenware pipes

The earthenware sewer lines under many Newtown properties were laid generations ago, and tree roots from established gardens work into every joint. That is why the same drain keeps blocking every year. We clear blocked drains with a high-pressure jetter, then run a camera through the line so you can see whether it is a one-off blockage or a cracked section that needs a permanent fix. Either way, you get the footage and a fixed price for any follow-up work.

Emergency plumbing in Newtown, any hour

Burst galvanised pipes, overflowing sewer drains and failed hot water systems do not wait for business hours. We answer Newtown emergency calls 24/7 on 0428 375 450, with no call-out fee and no after-hours pricing games. Before we arrive, our emergency guide shows you where to shut off water and what to do first, which can save a timber home from a lot of avoidable damage.

Gas fitting and leak detection across Newtown

Our licensed gas fitters handle cooktop and heater connections, gas leaks and gas hot water in Newtown homes. For water leaks you can hear but not see, or an Urban Utilities bill that has suddenly jumped, we use specialist leak detection equipment to pinpoint the problem without pulling up floors on guesswork. One thing worth knowing: Urban Utilities owns the water main and your meter, and every pipe on your side of the meter is the homeowner’s responsibility, so leak detection done early keeps small leaks from becoming big bills.
