Postwar Homes and Old Clay Drains
A suburb built after the war
Clontarf's housing boom arrived in the postwar decades, after Clontarf got its first state school in 1950, and the detached homes built in that era still dominate. Census figures put the suburb at 3,401 dwellings, with 78.5 per cent of them separate houses.
Clay sewers under the streets
Unitywater's sewer main through the suburb is better than half vitrified clay, with much of the remainder asbestos cement, and the branch drains serving postwar houses on Maine Road, King Street and Duffield Road probably share that vintage. Those old joints crack, and once they crack, roots find them.
Trees close to the pipes
The golf course has been here since 1936, and the district's parks and wetland buffers keep big trees near many streets. Their roots work into the old earthenware joints, which is why plenty of blockage calls here turn out to be roots rather than anything the household poured down the sink.
Something leaking, flooding or smelling of gas? First steps:
- Water flowing out of control: close the main valve at the meter and call (07) 3067 4119 straight away.
- A gas smell: leave the house and make the call from outside. Don't touch light switches or use a flame.
- A slow drip or a drain that's slow to clear: it's usually fine to book in. Call (07) 3067 4119 and we'll find a time.
- Night, weekend or public holiday: we're available 24/7, and there's no added charge for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Salt Air, Storms and a High Water Table
Salt on the foreshore. Bramble Bay sits on one side of the suburb and Hays Inlet on the other, so the bay's breezes push salt over the esplanade streets and the tidal flats leave the lower ground damp year round.
Along Hornibrook Esplanade and the beach streets, that salt-laden air gnaws at tap spindles, galvanised tank straps and bare copper pipework beneath older houses sooner than it would a few streets inland. If your taps keep seizing or your cylinder straps have rusted through, this is usually why.
Low ground and groundwater
Council's acid sulfate soil mapping places Redcliffe Gardens Drive, Cornelius Street, Yacht Street and Laura Street on low-lying land, where any trench hits groundwater and acidic ground quickly. Digging there is slower work, and it shapes how we plan any pipe replacement on those streets.
Storms and flood overlays
Average annual rainfall of 1,104 millimetres falls mostly as summer storms, and Council maps stormwater flowing overland along Burwood Terrace, Waterton Street and College Road, where downpipes and yard drains can struggle in a big dump of rain.
Council's flood hazard overlay places Bell Street, Conley Street, Thompson Crescent and the access road into Bells Caravan Park within its medium and high classes, while the storm tide overlay takes in the esplanade foreshore. On that low ground, drainage and stormwater work isn't an optional extra, it's how you keep the house dry.
What Changes the Price of a Job
No two plumbing jobs price the same, and we won't pretend otherwise. What moves the figure is access, parts and time.
What the job turns out to be
A slow drain that clears with simple work prices differently to a clay branch drain that's collapsed under the lawn.
Where the pipes sit
Digging in the sandy low ground off Redcliffe Gardens Drive, where the water table sits near the surface, takes longer than working under a highset house with open access.
Parts and materials
The cylinder, the fittings and the fixtures each carry their own cost, and you'll see every one of them in the price we write down before starting.
That figure is on paper before work begins, so nothing is a surprise at the end.

Where to Start
Emergency Plumbing
Burst pipes, overflowing loos, cold showers and gas smells sit here, along with the make-safe steps to take first, from shutting off the meter to isolating a hot water system.
General Plumbing
Everyday work includes dripping taps, running toilets, bathroom and kitchen jobs, gas fitting and hidden leaks, and most booked visits peninsula-wide begin with these, as Clontarf households call us first.
Drainage
Gurgling pipes, slow floor wastes and water backing up in the yard keep us busy, because clay sewers, tree roots and summer storms all work against drains here on the peninsula.
Hot Water
Cold showers, leaking tanks and old solar gear on the roof are the usual calls, and we tell you straight whether a repair will hold or a replacement is the smarter spend.
