Plumber Richmond Vale

Plumber Richmond Vale jobs are shaped by the mountain: rain pouring down the slopes of Mount Sugarloaf tests the culverts and yard drains at the bottom of the valley. Richmond Vale sits beside Abermain, and Abermain Plumbing Co covers it on the same run for drains, hot water and gas, with a fixed price first.

A Valley With No Sewer

Few homes, far apart

Census figures count 95 residents in 28 dwellings, every one a separate house, scattered through a broad valley that also holds the old Richmond Main colliery site, closed in 1967, and the volunteer heritage railway.

No sewer at all

Every dwelling relies on its own septic or aerated system. Servicing that is contractor work, but the drains carrying waste out to it are plumbing, and so are the water and gas pipes.

Buried lines, hidden losses

A long underground pipe between the road and a homestead can fail with nothing showing at the surface and empty a storage tank before anyone notices. A few of the earliest weatherboard houses by the old mine site may still run steel pipe from the coal era.

Gums and slopes

Heavy eucalypt cover sends roots into ageing private drains, and runoff off the foothills silts and scours drain runs on the lower blocks.

Tanks a long way from help

A hot water tank that has served for years on a remote block can fail without warning, and getting a new one down a long valley road adds time to the swap. A loan tank keeps the house going while the replacement comes.

The Work Valley Properties Call For

Emergency plumbing

For a burst buried line or a split flexi hose in a renovated older home, day or night

Blocked drains

For root-filled private lines and drain runs silted by hillside runoff

Hot water

For long-serving tanks on remote blocks, with a temporary unit while a replacement is sorted

Gas fitting

For appliance installs and new gas points out to a BBQ or pool heater

A pipe leaking underground between the road and the house is found with leak detection gear, without digging the paddock up.

Valley Plumbing Questions

Who looks after septic systems at valley properties?

Servicing an on-site wastewater system is work for a licensed wastewater contractor, so we point you to one. Our side is everything around it: the house drains running out to the tank, the water pipes, hot water, gas lines and hidden leaks.

Is there a call-out fee for a valley property?

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). The distance down a valley road does not change that, and you see a fixed, up-front price before any work begins.
