Your Local Dulwich Hill Plumber
Dulwich Hill grew after trams arrived in 1889 and the railway in 1895, and much of it is Federation housing. In the south, orchards and market gardens were subdivided in the early 1900s and built out by 1920 with single-storey face-brick bungalows with slate roofs. More than half its homes are now apartments. The light rail runs on the old goods line, and the suburb stretches south to the Cooks River. Dulwich Hill is governed by Inner West Council; Mr. Clog is based in Concord.
The south of Dulwich Hill runs down to the Cooks River and is covered by the council's Marrickville South flood study, while parts of the north drain to Hawthorne Canal. That gives the suburb two separate stormwater stories depending on which side of the hill you are on. The Federation bungalows of the South Dulwich Hill conservation area are more than a century old, and slate roofs, original gutters and first-generation clay sewer are still common among them.

Common Plumbing Problems in Dulwich Hill
Every part of Sydney has its own plumbing character, shaped by the age of the housing, the ground it sits on, and the weather it takes. Here is what we are called out for most often around Dulwich Hill.
Stormwater on the Cooks River side
Streets falling towards the Cooks River take water from higher up in heavy rain. A blocked line or undersized pit shows up as ponding in the yard or water against the house.
Slate roofs and original gutters
Federation bungalows with slate roofs often keep their original gutters and downpipes. Rust, blocked outlets and failed joints send water into eaves and walls, and slate needs care to walk on.
Apartment blocks with ageing plumbing
More than half of Dulwich Hill's homes are apartments, where stacks and water pipes are shared. A leak into the unit below or a blocked common drain affects more than one owner.

Common Questions
FAQs
Can you work on a slate roof?
Yes. We repair and replace gutters and downpipes on slate roofs with care, and we will tell you if slate itself needs a roofer.
Does the Inner West heritage overlay affect plumbing work?
Most repairs are not affected. Visible changes to a house in a conservation area may need approval, and we flag that before starting.
Are you local?
Mr. Clog is based in Concord, and Dulwich Hill is well within our local area.
