Plumber Seville Grove

Seville Grove WA 6112, City of Armadale. About 26 km south-east of the Perth CBD.

Seville Grove sits about twenty-six kilometres south-east of the Perth CBD in the City of Armadale, separated from Armadale proper in 2002 and made up largely of housing estates. It holds Cecil Andrews College, a library and a TAFE equine training centre, and Sherwood station is just outside it. For a plumber the housing age is the key fact: old enough that the original fittings and hot water are due, young enough that the pipework is sound.

• Estates at the first-replacement ageA Seville Grove house of this vintage does not need pipework replaced, but it does need the things fitted to it replaced. Mixers, cisterns and hot water units installed with the house reach the end of their life at much the same time.
• Hot water units on borrowed timeA hot water storage unit past ten or twelve years is running on luck, and a large share of the ones in Seville Grove are at or past that point. Replacing before failure costs far less than dealing with a tank that has let go into a ceiling and taken the plaster with it.
• Drainage that is newer than the complaint suggestsBecause these estates are relatively recent, a blocked drain here is usually a blockage rather than a failed line. We camera it to confirm rather than selling a repair the pipe does not need.
• A college and an equine training centrePublic amenities at the college and the wash-down and water supply at the equine facility are commercial plumbing on a different scale to a house. We maintain that side of Seville Grove as well as the estates around it.
