Low Ground, Old Clay, Salt Air

Houses from several decades

Croudace Bay grew steadily from the post-war years into the 1980s, so brick-veneer homes sit alongside older fibro houses and newer rebuilds on the waterfront. The mid-century houses can still have sections of clay drain, which cracks as it ages and gives roots from the suburb's mature gardens a way in.

Low blocks by the water

Homes nearest the lake's edge sit over a high water table, and Thomas H Halton Park runs along the foreshore where the suburb meets the lake. When heavy Hunter rain lands on a lake that is already high, stormwater pits on the lowest streets can back up with nowhere to drain.

Tanks and hoses past their best

Plenty of houses from the 1960s to 1980s boom are still on original or long-serving hot water units, and ageing braided hoses feeding the basins and kitchen sink can burst without warning.

Salt on the fittings

Waterfront properties take brackish air off the lake, so outdoor taps, valves and metalwork rust faster there than on streets set back from the shore.

The Work We Cover On This Run

The same plumbers and equipment come to the bay as work in Valentine:

Blocked drains

The camera goes in first, the jetter or electric eel clears the line, and a second filmed run shows it flowing.

Hot water

Repairs and replacements for electric, gas, heat pump and solar units, with a temporary tank while a new one is organised.

Gas fitting

Cooktops, ovens and BBQs connected, plus gas leak detection and repair by licensed fitters.

Emergency plumbing

After-hours help with burst pipes, split hoses and sewer or stormwater overflows in a storm.

Where a job goes further, drain camera work finds the cause of a repeat blockage and pipe relining seals a cracked clay joint.

When we're not the right call: a fault on the gas meter or in the street supply belongs to the gas network, and we pass on their number.

Croudace Bay Plumbing Questions

Do the clay drains in older Croudace Bay houses need replacing?

Not always. Filming the pipe shows what it is made of and exactly where it has cracked, and roots getting in at one joint can be cut out and then sealed with a patch or a liner without trenching. Replacing the pipe only makes sense where it has collapsed and a liner cannot hold.

Does the lake air wear out outdoor taps here?

It can. Salty air off the lake speeds up rust on outdoor taps, valves and exposed pipe, and the houses right on the water feel it first. We swap corroded fittings for ones better suited to that exposure.
