Hillcrest is largely made up of post-war and 1960s-70s brick veneer homes, many still owned by their original families or long-term residents. That age profile brings a fairly specific set of plumbing challenges.
It’s common in Hillcrest to find a hot water system that’s 20, sometimes 30 years old, quietly ticking along until it isn’t.
Typical warning signs we get called out for:
A significant number of Hillcrest homes still have plumbing installed when the house was first built, decades ago.
We regularly encounter:
Because so many of these homes are owner-occupied by long-term residents, we take extra care to explain options clearly rather than pushing for a full re-pipe when a targeted repair will do.
Many Hillcrest properties still run on original clay or earthenware sewer pipe, now well past its intended lifespan and vulnerable to tree root intrusion from decades-old street and garden trees.
Signs we look out for include:
Our CCTV drain inspections let us pinpoint exactly where a line has cracked or been breached by roots, rather than guessing.
With original bathrooms still common throughout the suburb, worn washers, corroded tap bodies and ageing cisterns are a frequent call-out.
We often fix:

Hillcrest residents, including many long-term homeowners and retirees, often call us because they want a plumber who explains things plainly and doesn’t pressure them into unnecessary work.
