In older homes or those with outdated plumbing systems, it can be challenging to get hot water due to corroded pipes or faulty pressure tanks. Many of our properties are built from brick and concrete, which can lead to mineral buildup over time.
Tree roots can cause significant blockages in drains, particularly if they've grown through the pipes in older homes. Clay pipes, which were once common in Highett's early days, can also become clogged due to wear and tear or poor maintenance. Local soil conditions can exacerbate drain issues.
Pipe materials like copper and PEX can be affected by corrosion, while older properties with galvanised pipes may have water pressure issues due to the rusty material affecting flow. Additionally, some areas in Highett experience pipe damage or blockages from tree roots or nearby industrial activities.
"On blocked drains in Highett, we typically find tree root intrusion due to older clay pipes in the area. Our CCTV drain camera usually pinpoints the exact location quickly, so our plumbers can give you an accurate quote before starting any work." — Fix It Right Plumbing Team, Melbourne
Highett's housing stock reflects its development history, with each era bringing different plumbing materials and methods that require specialist knowledge from your local plumber Highett professional.
Properties in Highett from the 1940s-1960s typically feature copper water supply and earthenware sewer connections. After 60-80 years, our Highett plumber team commonly addresses pinhole leaks in copper pipes from internal corrosion, tree root intrusion through clay sewer joints, and hot water systems that have exceeded their service life. Repiping with PEX and relining damaged sewers are cost-effective solutions we regularly provide in the area.
