A Colliery Suburb With Pipes Its Own Age

Postwar homes, postwar plumbing

Modest fibro and weatherboard cottages went up here while the John Darling pit was working, and many still hide their first steel water pipes behind the wall sheeting. Census figures record 2,300 dwellings, with separate houses making up 88.7 per cent, so each block has its own service, sewer run and hot water unit.

Ground movement under the yards

Earthenware sewers laid in the mid-century run beneath most backyards, and years of shifting soil have opened their joints. Sandy coastal soil east of the highway washes into any cracked pipe after heavy rain.

Street names from the mining years

The spine road, Wommara Avenue, carries the old estate's Awabakal name, and John Darling Avenue remembers the BHP figure whose pit shaped the suburb. A row of 1940s Nissen huts, first home to migrant miners from Britain, survives between newer brick-veneer houses.

What We Cover on This Run

Drains

Sagging clay lines under older gardens choke at the same low spots, and gums and banksias along the old rail corridor push roots into the earthenware. The blocked drains service clears them and films the line before and after.

Hot water

Tanks standing in salt-laden air wear out sooner than inland ones, and a replacement can mean bringing the old pipework up to current code. The hot water service covers repairs, replacements and system swaps.

Gas

Cooktops, heaters, BBQs and pool heaters, hooked up and signed off by a licensed gas fitter through the gas fitting service.

After hours

Burst flexi hoses, split cylinders and storm surcharges into yard gullies all go to the emergency plumber line, which is Available 24/7.

Questions From Local Homes

Do you replace the old steel water pipes in these homes?

Yes. Plenty of the postwar cottages here still carry their original galvanised services, and the warning signs are rusty water on first use and pressure that drops when two taps run. We quote the swap up front and size the new pipe to the fixtures the house has now.

What does it cost to have you come out?

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). The plumber then inspects the job, names a fixed figure, and nothing starts until you approve it, whether the house is a postwar cottage or a later brick-veneer build.
