Plumber Como for Blocked Drains and Drain Repairs

Blocked drains are one of the most frequent plumbing calls across Como’s established housing stock, and the suburb’s specific soil and tree conditions are the primary driver. Como’s proximity to the Swan River means clay-loam soil predominates in many areas, and clay-loam retains moisture year-round. Mature tree root systems  from riverside natives, street trees, and long-established garden plantings are attracted to this consistent moisture source and target buried drain lines through any available joint gap or hairline crack.

For Como properties built in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the original terracotta drain lines have been in the ground for 50 to 70 years. Cement-mortar joints at this age are prone to separation under seasonal soil movement, providing entry points for root systems that have had decades to establish. Where root intrusion has been gradual, a single clearing treatment is typically not a permanent solution. CCTV camera inspection identifies the condition of the pipe and determines whether relining or targeted section replacement is the appropriate fix.

Services cover blocked basins, blocked bathtubs, blocked kitchen sinks, blocked laundry drains, blocked shower drains, blocked stormwater, and blocked internal drains. Smelly drains, slow drainage, and overflowing gutters are also addressed during service visits.

Call 1300 632 094 for blocked drain service in Como.

Plumber Como for Burst Pipes and Water Leaks

Burst pipes and concealed leaks are a known risk in Como’s older housing stock. Properties that retain original galvanised iron supply pipes are at high risk of failure, as galvanised iron corrosion is an internal process that is not visible until a failure occurs. Homes built in the 1950s through 1970s that have not been replumbed may have supply pipes operating well past the standard service life for this material.

Leak detection is used where running water meters, damp patches, soft ground near buried pipework, or unexplained increases in water bills suggest a concealed leak. Services cover burst copper pipes, burst flexi hoses, damaged water mains, dripping pipes, holes in water pipes, and water leaks in gardens or yards. Burst pipes inside walls are located and repaired with minimal disruption.

Call 1300 632 094 for leak detection and burst pipe repairs in Como.

A plumber Como isolates broken sections, completes repairs, and exams surrounding pipework to lessen the hazard of future disasters.

Plumber Como for Hot Water Systems

Hot water system failures are a routine plumbing service across Como. Services cover replacing hot water systems, servicing storage units, repairing pressure and temperature relief valves, and resolving systems producing inconsistent or no hot water. Support is available for electric storage hot water heaters, gas hot water heaters, solar hot water systems, and continuous flow instantaneous units.

For Como properties undergoing renovations, a hot water system upgrade is often completed as part of the broader project scope, particularly where the existing system is near the end of its service life or undersized for the updated property layout.

Plumbing Maintenance in Como

Routine maintenance reduces the risk of emergency callouts in Como’s established housing stock. Services include drain inspections, pipework assessments, tap and valve testing, flexi hose condition checks, and hot water system servicing.

For properties that have not had a full plumbing assessment in recent years, a scheduled inspection establishes the condition of the system and identifies the highest-risk components before failure.

Como Suburb Plumbing Profile

Como WA 6152 is an established inner-southern suburb approximately 5km south of Perth CBD, situated on the south bank of the Swan River within the City of South Perth. The suburb is characterised by a mix of original 1950s to 1970s character homes, many of which have been renovated or rebuilt, alongside a smaller number of mid-century properties that retain original plumbing infrastructure. Como’s river frontage, mature tree canopy, and predominantly clay-loam soil profile near the river create a distinct local plumbing environment.
