Plumbing problems we see in Matraville homes
Matraville's mix of older houses and newer builds brings its own set of plumbing issues.
- Tree roots in old clay sewer lines. Many established homes still have original clay drains, and mature trees in yards and nature strips send roots into the joints.
- Ageing hot water systems. Plenty of family homes are on their second or third hot water tank, and older units often fail without much warning.
- Galvanised and old copper water pipes. Older supply pipework can corrode, leading to low pressure, leaks and discoloured water.
- Stormwater drains blocked with leaves and silt. Gutters, downpipes and yard pits that clog up and overflow in heavy rain.
- Gas appliances due for a check. Older gas heaters and cooktops in established homes that haven't been looked at in years.
Homes in Matraville
Matraville has a real mix of housing. Many streets are lined with post-war brick and fibro homes on decent-sized blocks, some of them updated and extended over the decades, others still on original plumbing. Over the years a lot of these blocks have been redeveloped into duplexes and townhouses, which brings newer plumbing but sometimes shared or reconfigured drainage lines. There are also small unit blocks.
That mix means one day we're clearing roots from a 1950s clay sewer line and the next we're replacing an old hot water system in a townhouse. Because we're based in the suburb, we know the area well and can usually get to Matraville jobs without a long drive across Sydney.
