What the Brick-Veneer Blocks Run Into

The housing sets the jobs

Elermore Vale began life in the mid-1960s under the name Wallsend South, and most homes are brick-veneer family houses from the 1970s to the 1990s on roomy blocks. At the last census, 79.2 per cent of dwellings were separate houses.

Big blocks mean big trees

Old gardens and roadside trees around these roomy blocks find the cracked joints in 1960s and 70s clay drains, so a blocked sewer here is usually roots, not grease.

The creek catchment sets the stormwater work

Runoff here drains to Ironbark Creek, so in a heavy storm the gully pits on the lower streets surcharge as water collects at the foot of each rise.

Renovation-era hoses are due

The braided hoses put under sinks during 1990s and 2000s makeovers can now burst and flood a kitchen or laundry.

The Four Hubs on This Run

Every job here routes through one of four service hubs, and each one covers a problem this suburb actually produces.

Blocked drains

Roots in clay sewers and gully pits surcharging toward Ironbark Creek, with footage to show where the pipe has cracked.

Hot water

Units in homes of the 1960s to the 90s reaching the end, which tends to show up on a cold winter morning.

Gas fitting

New cooktop and heater connections, plus leak testing on older lines in the brick-veneer homes.

Emergency plumber

Burst flexi hoses, dead hot water units and overflows when a storm surcharges the drains at night.

When We're Not the Right Call

When Ironbark Creek itself floods the low-lying streets, clearing a private drain will not help, and the response belongs with council and the SES. A retaining wall that has cracked or slumped beside a drain line is a builder's repair, and you hear that on the phone before anything is quoted.

Elermore Vale Questions

Do you clear stormwater lines that flood in the Ironbark Creek catchment?

Yes. When a downpour surcharges the pits and water backs up toward the house, the line is cleared and then filmed to find what slowed it. Water rising from the creek itself is a flood matter for council, not a drain job.

Can you replace a hot water unit in a 1970s brick-veneer home here?

Yes. Brick-veneer homes of that decade are often on their original or second tank by now, and the replacement is priced before the old one comes out. If the new system has to be ordered, a loaner tank covers the gap.
