Licensed plumbing and gas work for Allambie Heights, a short run from our base in Frenchs Forest. Blocked drains, emergency call-outs, gas leaks, hot water and the everyday repairs that keep a house working.
Allambie Heights is a bush-edge suburb near Manly Dam and its reserve, with the Wakehurst Parkway close by. A lot of the homes back onto bushland or sit near it, and much of the suburb is established housing on its original drainage.
Two things about the ground matter for plumbing here. Sandstone is often close to the surface across this part of the Northern Beaches, which affects how easy it is to get at a pipe that needs repairing. And mature trees on and around the blocks send roots towards any moisture they can find, including the joints in older sewer lines. That is why we put a camera down and locate the problem before anyone talks about digging, so that any repair is aimed at the right spot.
Sloping blocks also bring stormwater into the picture, with side passages and pits doing a lot of work after heavy rain. If something has gone wrong and cannot wait, our emergency plumbing page covers what to do first. For everything else, you can ring or send us a message.
Drains and roots lead the list here, with gas and hot water close behind. Each links to more detail.
We clear blockages with high-pressure jet blasting, then use a CCTV camera to find what caused it, whether that is roots, grease, wipes or a damaged section. See our blocked drain plumber page.
Pipe locating pinpoints the blockage or damage, which matters more than usual when there may be sandstone between you and the pipe. A targeted repair is a smaller job than an exploratory one.
Burst pipes, sewage backing up, overflowing toilets and gas leaks. Our emergency plumber Northern Beaches page covers what is worth an after-hours call and what to do in the first five minutes.
Licensed gas work, including finding and fixing leaks and connecting cooktops, ovens and heaters. More on our gas plumber page.
Repairs and replacements for gas, electric, continuous flow and heat pump systems, with both options explained when a repair is borderline.
Blocked pits, downpipes and side passages that struggle in heavy rain, plus new drainage lines where water sits against the house.
A few things that make drainage problems quicker and cheaper to sort on a bush-edge block.
Inspection openings and the overflow relief gully often end up under landscaping. Being able to get into the line without digging saves time and money, so leave them visible.
They are poor against roots, which are the most common cause here, and caustic products can damage older pipework. If one go has not worked, more will not help.
A drain that is worse after rain points at stormwater, or at groundwater getting into a damaged sewer line through the same crack the roots came in by. Mention it when you ring, because it narrows things down.

It can make getting at a pipe harder, which is why we locate the problem with a camera and pipe locator before any digging. That keeps the repair to the spot that needs it, and you get the price before any work starts.
Turn the gas off at the meter if you can reach it safely, do not use switches or anything that sparks, and call us. If the smell is strong, ring the gas emergency line before you ring a plumber.
