A plumber who mostly does new suburbs can get lost in Cremorne. The art deco blocks hide galvanised pipe risers behind rendered walls, six apartments can share one original stack, and the houses on the point sit on slopes that complicate every drain run. This is our home ground.
Walk-up blocks and shared plumbing: In Cremorne's older flats, one resident's blockage quickly becomes the whole building's problem. We clear shared stacks and common drains with high-pressure jetting, use CCTV inspection to find which branch is at fault, and give strata committees written findings they can actually act on. Where an original pipe has corroded through, we quote both repair and relining so the owners corporation can weigh cost against disruption.
Hot water in tight spaces: Apartment hot water fails without warning and space for the replacement is always tight. We supply and fit compact storage and continuous-flow hot water systems, including gas units where the building has supply, and we confirm what physically fits your cupboard or recess before quoting.
Houses on the slopes: Cremorne's Federation homes deal with the same gravity as everything else on the peninsula. We clear and repair blocked drains and sewer lines, fix burst pipes, and sort pressure problems that come with height differences across a sloping block.
Gas, done properly: From new bayonet points for heaters to cooktop installs and safety checks, our licensed gas fitters handle it, and if you ever smell gas in a flat or house, get everyone out first and call our 24/7 emergency line straight away.

FAQ
Common questions from the flats and houses of Cremorne, answered plainly.
Not worried, but informed. Blocks from the 1930s and 40s often still run galvanised steel risers and branches, which corrode from the inside long before anything shows outside. The warning signs are brown water after time away, falling pressure and pinhole leaks. We can inspect what is accessible, pressure-test, and give the building a staged replacement picture rather than a scare campaign.
Because in most Cremorne walk-ups the bathrooms and kitchens feed a single shared stack. A blockage below the junction backs up into whichever flat sits lowest, regardless of whose sink caused it. A camera inspection shows whether the fault is in one branch or the common line, which also settles the question of whether the repair is an owner cost or a strata cost.
Often, yes. On Cremorne's slopes the street mains pressure varies with height, and older homes lose more again through corroded internal pipework. We measure pressure at the meter and at the fixtures, which tells us whether the fix is replacing choked pipe runs, adjusting or replacing a pressure valve, or in some cases a small boosting arrangement. Measurement first, then a fixed quote.
Yes. A licensed gas fitter runs the line, fits the bayonet where the heater will actually live and tests the whole installation before certifying it. In flats we also confirm the building's gas load can take the extra appliance. It is a half-day job in most Cremorne homes and it beats juggling electric heaters through winter power bills.
We can. After making the leak safe we document the cause, the affected pipework and the repair carried out, with photos, and set it out in a written report suitable for your insurer or the strata's. Clear cause-of-loss wording speeds claims up considerably, and we are used to preparing it for Cremorne's older buildings where insurers ask more questions.
