Plumbing Services We Offer In Adelaide, South Australia
Blocked Drains Adelaide
Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing issues in Adelaide homes. Grease build-up, hair, tree roots and debris can slow down or completely block water flow.
Our team uses professional drain-clearing machines and high-pressure jetting equipment to safely remove blockages. We also offer camera inspections to check the inside of pipes and identify deeper problems.
If your sink drains slowly or your toilet keeps backing up, it’s best to act early before it becomes a bigger issue.
Hot Water System Repairs & Installation
No hot water? Strange noises from your system? Is the water temperature going hot and cold?
Our Adelaide plumbers repair and replace gas and electric hot water systems. We assess the condition of your existing unit and explain whether a repair or replacement makes more sense.
We install systems correctly the first time to ensure safe operation and reliable performance.
Burst Pipe Repair
Pipes can wear down over time due to pressure, age or environmental factors. If you notice damp patches, low water pressure, or rising water bills, you may have a hidden leak.Our plumbers locate the source of the problem and repair damaged pipe sections to prevent further water damage.
Early repairs can help avoid costly structural issues later.
Toilet Repair & Replacement
A constantly running toilet or leaking cistern wastes water and increases your bill. We repair faulty flushing systems, replace worn components, and install new toilets when needed.
Our plumbers carry standard parts so that many repairs can be completed in one visit.
Kitchen & Bathroom Plumbing
Upgrading your kitchen or bathroom? Proper plumbing installation protects your investment.
We install sinks, taps, drainage systems and water lines with careful attention to sealing and alignment. Our goal is a clean, leak-free installation that supports long-term use.
Gas Repair & Installation Adelaide
Licensed professionals must handle gas plumbing. If you smell gas, notice corrosion on pipes, or need a new gas appliance installed, contact our licensed gas plumber in Adelaide.
We handle gas leak detection, pipe repairs, appliance connections, and new gas line installations, all in accordance with Australian safety standards.
Sewer & Drain Cleaning
Recurring drainage problems may indicate more serious damage to the sewer line. Using specialized inspection cameras, we assess underground pipes for cracks, root intrusion or deterioration.
Where suitable, we provide trenchless sewer relining solutions designed to restore flow without major excavation.
Pipe Relining Adelaide
Damaged or collapsed pipes do not always require excavation. Pipe relining is a trenchless repair method that restores the structural integrity of underground pipes from the inside, without digging up your garden, driveway, or flooring.
Our licensed Adelaide plumbers use CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) relining technology. A flexible liner saturated with resin is inserted into the damaged pipe and inflated to conform to the pipe walls. Once cured, it forms a smooth, jointless inner pipe that seals cracks, tree root entry points, and corroded sections.
When Is Pipe Relining the Right Option?
Pipe relining is suitable when a CCTV drain camera inspection reveals:
- Hairline cracks or fractures in clay, PVC, or cast iron pipes
- Tree root intrusion that has penetrated pipe joints
- Pipe sections that have partially collapsed but retain enough structure
- Recurring blockages in the same section of drain
- Older terracotta pipes common in established Adelaide suburbs such as Norwood, Unley, Prospect, and Kensington
Pipe Relining vs. Pipe Replacement
Traditional pipe replacement requires excavation, which means breaking concrete, removing paving, or digging through landscaped areas. Relining avoids this entirely. The process is completed through existing access points in most cases, and the finished liner typically carries a 50-year product warranty.
Relining costs vary depending on pipe diameter, pipe material, and the length of the affected section. Our team assesses each job individually and provides a fixed upfront quote before any work begins. There are no hidden charges.
CCTV Drain Camera Inspection
Before any relining work is carried out, our plumbers conduct a CCTV drain camera inspection. A waterproof camera is inserted into the drain line and transmits live footage of the pipe interior. This allows us to identify the exact location and nature of the damage, confirm whether relining is appropriate, and document the condition of surrounding pipe sections.
Camera inspections are also recommended for properties being purchased, following a major blockage event, or where the age of underground drainage is unknown. Same Day Trades carries inspection cameras on service vehicles across the Adelaide metro area.
Leak Detection Adelaide
A hidden water leak can cause significant structural damage before it becomes visible. Rising water bills, damp patches on walls or ceilings, and soft spots in flooring are common signs that a leak is present somewhere in the pipe system.
Same Day Trades uses non-invasive leak detection technology to locate the source of a leak without unnecessary cutting or excavation. Our Adelaide plumbers carry acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging tools that identify the precise location of concealed leaks in water supply lines, slab pipes, and wall cavities.
Common Causes of Hidden Leaks in Adelaide Homes
- Ageing copper or galvanised iron supply pipes in older Adelaide suburbs
- Pressure fluctuations caused by Adelaide Hills elevation differences affecting properties on sloping sites
- Corrosion in pipes exposed to Adelaide’s coastal salt-air environment in western suburbs such as Glenelg, Henley Beach, and West Lakes
- Shifting soil — Adelaide’s reactive clay soils expand and contract with seasonal moisture changes, placing stress on buried pipe joints
- Pinhole leaks in copper pipes that develop gradually over 20 to 30 years
SA Water Responsibility — What Homeowners Need to Know
In South Australia, SA Water is responsible for the water main up to and including the water meter at the property boundary. The supply pipe from the meter to the house, and all internal plumbing, is the homeowner’s responsibility.
If you suspect a leak between the meter and the house, this is classified as a private leak and requires a licensed plumber. Same Day Trades handles all private-side leak detection and repair across Adelaide and surrounding suburbs. CBS Plumbing Contractor Licence AU54516.
Plumbing in Adelaide — What Local Properties Need
Adelaide’s housing stock ranges from century-old stone cottages in the inner suburbs to contemporary builds on the metropolitan fringe. Each era of construction presents different plumbing challenges, and local knowledge matters when diagnosing and repairing problems correctly.
Older Adelaide Suburbs — Terracotta and Clay Drain Infrastructure
Suburbs established before the 1960s — including Norwood, Unley, Prospect, Parkside, Kensington, Goodwood, and parts of North Adelaide — commonly have terracotta clay drain pipes that are now 60 to 100 years old. These pipes are susceptible to root intrusion at the cemented joints, gradual cracking from ground movement, and partial collapse in sections subject to heavy vehicle loads above.
When a property in one of these suburbs experiences recurring blockages or slow drainage, the cause is frequently structural rather than a simple grease or debris buildup. A CCTV camera inspection is the most reliable way to confirm the condition of the drain before committing to repair.
Adelaide Hills Properties — Elevation and Septic Considerations
Properties in Adelaide Hills councils including Mount Barker, Stirling, and Houghton may operate on septic systems rather than SA Water’s reticulated sewerage network. Septic tanks require periodic inspection and pump-out, and the absorption trenches that receive treated effluent can fail over time, particularly in clay-heavy soils.
Our plumbers are experienced with Hills area plumbing, including septic system assessment, pressure variation caused by site elevation, and the extended pipe runs common in larger rural-residential blocks.
New Suburbs — Fitting and Fixture Warranties
Newer Adelaide suburbs including Mawson Lakes, Seaford Meadows, Aldinga, Golden Grove, and Smithfield typically have PVC drainage and copper or Pex supply lines. While newer infrastructure is less likely to fail structurally, poor installation workmanship, damaged fittings, and hot water system failures are common call-out reasons in properties under 15 years old.
Same Day Trades services all Adelaide metro suburbs, from the CBD to the outer growth corridors. Every job is completed by a licensed plumber under CBS Plumbing Contractor Licence AU54516, with a lifetime warranty on labour.
