In more detail
The three we get called about most
Bathrooms
Bathrooms are the second biggest group of our Waverton jobs, many in older houses and units still on their original pipework.
We handle the plumbing from rough-in to fit-off, and work alongside your builder or tiler if you have one.
Bathroom renovationsSewer and stormwater
On streets this steep, sewer lines run hard downhill and stormwater arrives fast at the bottom of the block.
We clear blockages, repair cracked lines and make sure stormwater has somewhere to go besides under the house.
Sewer repairsRoof plumbing
Houses facing the harbour take the weather side-on, and their flashings and gutters wear sooner.
We repair and replace gutters, flashings and downpipes, and check the rest of the roof while we are up there.

A typical job here
A dropped sewer joint on a Waverton slope
The problem
The toilet in a Waverton terrace gurgled and the yard gully overflowed whenever the shower ran.
What we did
We cleared the line and the camera showed a joint that had dropped where the ground had settled on the slope. We dug down to that one joint and replaced it.
The result
The line runs freely, and the repair was one small hole rather than a trench across the yard.

About the suburb
Plumbing in Waverton
Waverton is a small harbourside suburb with steep streets running down to the water, bushland along the foreshore and a mix of Federation houses, terraces and apartment blocks around its railway station.
More than half of our Waverton jobs since 2016 have been everyday repairs; bathrooms come next, then blocked drains, roofing and sewer work.
Steep streets mean water moves fast. Stormwater that is not carried away properly ends up against the house or under it, and a sewer that settles on a slope can open a joint.

Michael E., Google reviewQuestions we get asked in Waverton
Is a Waverton terrace likely to share pipes with next door?
Often, yes. Terraces were frequently built with drainage shared between neighbours. Before any repair we work out which pipe serves which house, so the cost lands with the right owner.
What does a plumber in Waverton cost?
We price the job, not an hourly rate. You get the price in writing before we start.
Are your plumbers licenced and insured?
Yes. STS Plumbing Co Pty Ltd holds NSW licence 227192C and is insured, and the plumbers who turn up are our own team.
How quickly can you get here?
The office is open Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm, and we call back within 24 hours, guaranteed. For anything urgent, ring rather than use the form.
