Plumbing for Rathmines Homes, Old and New
Rathmines has a long history. Rathmines Park on the waterfront was once the largest RAAF flying boat base in Australia, and it’s now a heritage-listed park. Around it you’ll find a real mix of homes, from established lakeside houses to newer builds.
That mix shows up in the plumbing we see. In older homes, original pipework can corrode over time, causing low water pressure, discoloured water or slow leaks under sinks. Older clay sewer lines are also prone to tree roots getting in through the joints.
On lake-facing blocks, heavy rain can push stormwater systems past their limit. If water pools near your house or your downpipes overflow, it’s worth having your stormwater and sewer drains checked before the next big storm.
Newer homes have their own needs, like adding a second bathroom, upgrading fixtures or connecting new appliances. Whatever the age of your home, we’ll find the cause and recommend the most cost-effective fix.

Hot Water Repairs and Replacement in Rathmines
No hot water is one of the most common calls we get from Rathmines. Many problems, like a faulty thermostat, element or valve, can be repaired on the spot.
Signs your hot water system needs attention:
- Water isn’t getting hot, or runs out quickly
- Water leaking from the tank or pooling underneath
- Rusty or discoloured hot water
- Rumbling, banging or hissing noises
- The system is around 10 years old or more
We always aim to repair rather than replace. If replacement is the better option, we’ll talk you through the choices and supply a system that suits your household and budget.
| System type | Good for | Things to consider |
| Electric storage | Lower upfront cost and simple installation | Higher running costs unless it’s on an off-peak tariff |
| Gas continuous flow | Households that use a lot of hot water, as it doesn’t run out | Needs a gas connection |
| Gas storage | Larger households with gas already connected | The tank takes up space |
| Solar | Lower running costs over time | Higher upfront cost, needs suitable roof space and uses a booster in cloudy weather |
Because we hold a restricted electrical licence, we can install and replace electric hot water systems ourselves. That means no waiting around for a separate electrician.

Common Plumbing Problems in Rathmines
No Hot Water
Check the power or gas supply and the pilot light first. If that doesn’t fix it, turn the system off and call us rather than resetting it again and again.
Tree Roots in Sewer Lines
Gurgling drains, slow toilets or a sewer smell in the yard are common signs. We use a CCTV camera to find the roots and a high-pressure jetter to clear them.
Burst or Leaking Pipes
Turn off the water at the main, usually near the meter at the front of your property, and call us straight away. A small leak inside a wall can cause major damage.
Overflowing Stormwater
Water pooling near the house or downpipes overflowing in heavy rain usually means a blocked stormwater line. We’ll clear it and check it’s draining properly.
