What we do

Our Plumbing Services

Below are the nine service categories our licensed team is set up to deliver, all booked through one local number and all backed by the same Lifetime Labour Warranty, Fixed Upfront Pricing, and on-call after-hours cover under Lic. #333997 with Master Plumber South Australia for every home in the area.

General Plumbing

Our team handles general plumbing work from dishwasher and fridge installs through to roof leak repairs and carbon monoxide testing, all quoted up front before work begins.

Emergency Plumbing

A licensed plumber is rostered on emergency plumbing callouts every hour of the year, with within-the-hour response where availability allows on bursts, gas leaks, and sewer overflows.

Blocked Drains

Drain clearing, CCTV camera inspection, hydrojet cleaning, and full drain replacement are all delivered by our blocked drains team across the older 1970s street pockets, with a written cause-and-fix scope at handover.

Hot Water

Repairs and replacements across gas, electric, solar, and heat pump systems are covered by our hot water team, with Fixed Upfront Pricing in writing before any tank swap.

Gas Fitting

Licensed gas fitting covers cooktop and oven connections, gas heater installs, line extensions, and the compliance certificate issued at handover, all worked to current AS/NZS 3500 standards.

Pipe Relining

Trenchless pipe relining repairs cracked, collapsed, and root-invaded drains under the property with no excavation, after a full CCTV inspection scopes the failure properly first.

Leak Detection

Acoustic and thermal leak detection locates hidden water, slab, and gas leaks across detached brick and brick-veneer homes without tearing up floors or walls, with the repair on the same visit.

Taps & Toilets

Leaking taps and toilets, cistern faults, mixer replacements, and tap upgrades are booked through one local number, with parts on the van and Fixed Upfront Pricing first.

Burst Pipes

A failed water main, corroded line, or hidden internal burst pipe is located and repaired on the same call where possible, with within-the-hour response where availability allows on urgent overnight bursts.

A Valley View plumber working locally — What Hillside Homes Need from Their Plumber
Local knowledge

What Hillside Homes Need from Their Plumber

The area filled in through the 1970s and into the 1980s as a hillside residential extension above central Modbury, branching off the original village onto the foothill slopes of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The stock is dominated by single-storey brick and brick-veneer family homes on generous suburban blocks, with later 1990s and 2000s infill on the fringes. A large share of these homes were fitted out during the 1970s and 1980s build-out and still rely on storage hot water units that are now well beyond their typical service life. Drainage in the older 1970s pockets between Ladywood Drive and Milne Road was put in during the late clay-to-PVC transition, so original earthenware sections still carry waste from many homes and crack at the joints. The area sits on the foothill slopes with a noticeable east-to-west fall toward the plain, so stormwater and gravity-fed drain falls have to be set correctly to avoid pooling on the lower side of properties. Mature reserves like Hargrave Reserve, Hinkler Reserve, Kestral Reserve, and Emma Reserve are dotted across the area, and decades of established backyard plantings on standard blocks regularly send roots into ageing drain lines. Streets such as Ladywood Drive, Milne Road, Brunel Drive, Kingsford Smith Street, Grenfell Road, McIntyre Road, Golden Grove Road, Kestral Way, and John Renwick Place carry the bulk of the local stock, with The Heights School and Modbury Heights Shopping Centre anchoring the streetscape under the City of Tea Tree Gully.

Emergency? We answer 24/7

When Emergency Plumbing Strikes Locally

A burst pipe, gas leak, or sewer overflow rarely waits until business hours, and every minute the water or waste keeps running adds cost and risk to a brick or brick-veneer family home on the foothill slope. Our licensed on-call team aims to be on site within the hour where availability allows, with Fixed Upfront Pricing accepted in writing before any work starts on the emergency repair.

  • Burst pipes flooding floors, walls, or ceilings
  • Suspected gas leaks inside or near the building
  • Sewer or wastewater backing up into showers, sinks, or toilets
  • Complete loss of hot water with vulnerable people at home
  • Failed flexi hoses dumping water under sinks

Call now if any of those are happening at your property. Shut the water off at the meter, clear the area, and our on-call plumber will confirm an arrival window before the van leaves.

Common faults

Common Plumbing Issues We Fix Locally

Most urgent calls across the 1970s and 1980s brick and brick-veneer housing stock follow predictable patterns shaped by ageing storage hot water units, clay drainage in the older pockets, mature tree roots, and the foothill slope falls. These are the four jobs we resolve most often:

01

Ageing 1970s and 1980s storage hot water units past replacement age

A large share of local homes were fitted out during the original build-out above central Modbury, and many still rely on storage hot water units that are now well beyond their typical service life and overdue for swap-out.

02

Cracked clay drainage in the older Ladywood Drive and Milne Road pockets

Drainage in the older 1970s pockets was put in during the late clay-to-PVC transition, so original earthenware sections still carry waste from many homes and crack at the joints under decades of ground movement.

03

Tree-root intrusion from mature reserves and backyard plantings

The area is dotted with mature reserves and decades of established backyard plantings on standard suburban blocks regularly send fine roots into every gap in the ageing drain lines, making recurring blockages a routine local job.

04

Slope drainage and gravity-fall pooling on the lower side of properties

The foothill slope carries a noticeable east-to-west fall toward the plain, so stormwater and gravity-fed drain falls have to be set correctly to avoid pooling on the lower side of properties after heavy rain.

Our process

How We Work on Every Job

We run every booking the same way, from the first phone call through to handover, so you always know what is happening next. The four steps below run on every job the team takes:

1

Speak to Our Team

Our dispatcher takes the full details on the phone, confirms whether the supply needs isolating, and books a licensed plumber with a real arrival window before the van leaves.

2

Onsite Assessment & Quote

The licensed plumber scopes the failure properly on arrival, walks you through what needs doing, and hands over Fixed Upfront Pricing in writing covering parts, labour, and compliance.

3

Work Completed Cleanly

After your sign-off the team completes the repair to AS/NZS 3500 standards, contains any mess with drop sheets, and tidies the workspace before any final commissioning takes place.

4

Testing & Handover

We pressure-test the line, walk you through the finished work, record the Lifetime Labour Warranty on the invoice, and confirm any compliance certificates are issued before leaving the property.
