Plumbing in Greensborough
Greensborough is characterised by hilly, treed terrain and housing built largely from the 1960s through the 1980s, often on sloping and sometimes steep blocks with substantial established gardens.
The topography drives much of the plumbing here. Sloping sites mean drainage and stormwater have to be designed around fall and retaining structures, and properties downhill can inherit water problems created uphill. Split-level homes: common in this area: put pipework at multiple levels, which makes leak location more involved than in a single-storey home on a flat block.
The mature trees Greensborough is known for are hard on drainage. Combined with drains now fifty or more years old, root intrusion is one of the most frequent reasons we're called out.
Homes of this era are also at the point where original hot water systems, tapware and sections of supply pipework are being replaced for the second time.
