Salt Air, Homestead Trees And Tired Units

One big build wave

Large-scale housing only arrived here in the late 1980s, and the brick-veneer homes of that era and the 1990s make up the bulk of the suburb. Their original hot water tanks have now outlived the years they were designed for. When one quits, we price the repair and the swap next to each other so the choice stays yours.

Trees older than the pipes

Valentine Park still holds trees from an 1860s house on the site, and roots from shade of that age travel into the sewer and stormwater joints on nearby blocks. A root that gets into a joint keeps coming back until that gap is closed.

Salt on the outside fittings

Houses on the lake side of Dilkera Avenue take brackish air straight off the lake, and it eats at outdoor taps, exposed pipe and mixers faster than the same fittings a few streets back.

How The Quote Is Built

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours).

Four things decide the number on a job in this suburb:

  • Getting to it A pipe under a low subfloor or behind a finished wall takes more labour than one in open ground.
  • What the pipe is Copper, PVC, galvanised steel and polyethylene all repair differently and need different fittings.
  • The parts The brand and size of a replacement hot water unit or appliance sets much of the figure.
  • Night calls A job after dark or on a weekend is billed at the after-hours rate, which is quoted before the van leaves.

When we're not the right call. Wiring a new heat pump into the switchboard is an electrician's work, and a cracked retaining wall is a builder's. The call ends with the name of the trade to ring.

From Ring To Finished Job

  1. 1

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4093 0558 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 2

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 3

    The fix goes ahead

    We clear, repair or fit what the fault needs using the camera, jetter or parts on the van, then clean up after ourselves.

  4. 4

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

Storms, Sand And Low Ground

Nowhere for the water to go

Valentine is low-lying ground on the lake's eastern edge, and its stormwater runs down to the lake, so heavy Hunter rain can overload the pits and pipes closest to the water. Area records put average rainfall at 1,122 millimetres a year, and the foreshore streets can also take lake-edge flooding when the water is high.

Sand creeping in

The soil near the shore is sandy, and fine grains wash into ageing drains and settle as silt. That is why a slow line near the water gets filmed before it gets jetted; clearing it blind means the silt is back by the next wet spell.

What Customers Say

Suburbs We Cover Around Valentine

The plumbers who work these streets also cover the suburbs on either side:

Answers Before You Call

Do you clear tree roots out of sewer lines in Valentine?

Yes. The camera finds the joint the roots came through, the cutting head takes the growth out, and the camera goes back in to show the pipe open again. Because roots regrow through an open joint, we also price sealing that joint so you can weigh it against clearing again later.

What does a plumber in Valentine charge to come out?

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). The price of the repair itself is set once the plumber has looked at the fault, and nothing is touched until you say yes. Evenings and weekends are charged differently, and you hear that rate when you ring.

Are you available at night and on weekends?

Yes, we are Available 24/7, Sundays and holidays included. Outside business hours the visit is charged at a separate rate, quoted on the phone. If you smell gas inside, leave the house and ring the gas network's emergency number on your bill first, then call us for the repair.

Which hot water system suits a brick-veneer home here?

The walls matter less than your gas supply, roof space and the size of the household. We price electric storage, gas storage, continuous-flow gas, heat pump and solar units and explain what each costs to run. A lot of the tanks fitted when these houses were new are now well past their working life.

Do you do gas work for businesses as well as homes?

Yes. Our licensed gas fitters take on commercial jobs too, from cooktops and ovens in a cafe kitchen to appliances in a club or shop. A business gets a fixed price before work starts and the same 365-day warranty on all work that a household does.

Why do stormwater drains near the lake block after storms?

The blocks nearest the water sit over a high water table, so a heavy storm leaves the pits with no room to empty and they back up toward the lake. Sandy soil also washes into older pipes and settles there. A camera run tells you which of the two you are dealing with.
