Plumber Hunters Hill
Heritage drainage, relining and stormwater across Hunters Hill, Woolwich and Gladesville.
Your Local Hunters Hill Plumber
Hunters Hill is one of the oldest surviving suburbs in Sydney, and its plumbing reflects that. Sandstone houses from the 1850s onwards, mature gardens, and drainage that in many cases has been in the ground longer than anywhere else we work.
The age of the housing stock is the whole story here. Original earthenware drainage under a home built in the 1870s has had a very long time to crack, settle and take on roots, and the gardens above it are just as old. Add a peninsula that falls away to the water on both sides and you get the second theme, which is stormwater with a great deal of gradient behind it. Heritage controls across much of the suburb also mean excavation is rarely the simple option.
$0 call-out fee — available 24/7, 365 days a year across all Hunters Hill suburbs.

Common Plumbing Problems in Hunters 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 Hunters Hill.
Some of the oldest drainage in Sydney
Houses here predate most of the city. Earthenware laid in the nineteenth century has cracked joints and root intrusion as a matter of course, and clearing it is a maintenance cycle rather than a repair.
Heritage controls limiting excavation
Much of Hunters Hill is heritage-controlled, and sandstone sits shallow. Between the two, digging up a damaged line is slow, expensive and sometimes needs approval. Relining avoids all three.
Stormwater falling to the river
The peninsula drops away on both sides, so stormwater moves quickly. Lines that have silted or lost fall overflow during heavy rain rather than backing up gradually.

Common Questions
FAQs
Our house is from the 1800s. Is the original drainage still in use?
Very often yes, at least in part. A camera inspection shows what you actually have and what condition it is in, which is worth knowing before a renovation rather than during one.
Will drain work need heritage approval?
Repairs generally do not, but excavation near a heritage structure can. We will tell you upfront if that applies and it is another reason relining usually suits this suburb.
Do you do pre-purchase drain inspections in Hunters Hill?
Yes, and in a suburb with housing this old it is worth doing. We provide camera footage and a written report.
