A Handful of Homes on Wet Ground

A tiny population on flood country

At the last census the locality counted 165 people in 55 dwellings, with a median age of 68, so the work here serves retirees and river-flat farms rather than new estates. The homes sit in a thin line along Oakhampton Road, hemmed between the river and the railway, with the older cluster close to Dwyer Street.

Water never far below the surface

The Hunter's alluvium under the flats holds moisture year-round, and it seeps into any open trench, tank or under-floor cavity before long. Getting a trench to hold dry means timing the dig around what the river is doing, and where a property treats its own sewage, the system's position on the flood plain is a question for the installer, not us.

Steel pipe and shifting clay

The cottage cluster by Dwyer Street still draws its supply through mid-century galvanised steel, which chokes flow and drops rust into the water. Where old clay drainage exists, soft alluvial ground has been pulling those joints out of line for years, and the willows and gums along the river flats chase damp into any pipe they can reach.

The Work This Ground Calls For

Each of the four services below lines up with a fault this ground produces:

Blocked drains and sewers

Silt never settles out of drainage sitting in wet ground, and roots follow it into cracked clayware; the blocked drains and sewers page sets out the clearing and camera work.

Hot water

Frosty mornings along the river corridor are hard on tired cylinders, and a failed unit in winter is hard going for older residents; the hot water services page covers repairs and replacements.

Gas fitting

BBQ points, heaters and pool heater lines on rural blocks all need a licensed gas fitter; the gas fitting services page lists the connections we carry out.

After-hours faults

Old private water lines running from the road to the house can let go with no warning, and river rises mean services sometimes need isolating in a hurry; the emergency plumber page walks through the first steps.

Two Questions Before You Ring

Does flooding on the flats change how the plumbing is done?

It does. Major Hunter River rises put the flats under water, and the recovery work afterwards, checking lines and getting hot water going again, is part of the job. Census figures put just 55 dwellings here, and that small count reflects the flood history of the ground.

Do you come out here after hours?

Yes, we are available 24/7. It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). Ring (02) 4915 2998 at any hour and the booking runs the same way as a daytime call.
