Plumbing in Cheltenham
Cheltenham is largely post-war housing on good-sized blocks, with steady townhouse and unit redevelopment and a significant retail and commercial precinct.
The original housing is at the stage where the first generation of everything is failing: clay sewer drains with degraded joints, original supply pipework producing pressure and water-quality complaints, and hot water systems on their second or third replacement. Established gardens over old drainage make root intrusion a frequent call-out.
The redevelopment activity produces Cheltenham's other recurring job: connecting new townhouses into existing street drainage, and resolving how subdivided properties share services that were originally installed for a single house.
Being reasonably close to the bay, Cheltenham sees some coastal corrosion effects on external and roof plumbing, though less severely than the foreshore suburbs.
- Clay drain renewal and root management
- Drainage for townhouse subdivisions
