Plumber Buchanan

Buchanan sits beside Heddon Greta, and Heddon Greta Plumbing Co is the plumber for its acreage homes on the same run. Storm water is the big local problem: rain off large roofs and sheds gathers fast along the creek lines, flooding driveway culverts and low house pads. Every job is priced as a fixed figure first.

Acreage Blocks, Tank Water and Big Roofs

Few homes, big blocks

Census figures count 212 people in 70 dwellings across 30.54 square kilometres, all of them separate houses, and 55.7 per cent with four or more bedrooms. The locality splits between farmland and forest.

Storm water with nowhere to go

Big rooflines and sheds on the forest-edge blocks send runoff to rural drains and dams. The ground is reactive clay, and in a heavy storm culverts under driveways and low building pads flood before the water gets away.

Newer houses, early faults

The executive homes built since the 1980s and 2000s went up with mass-builder fittings, and braided hoses, plastic valves and hurried joints can start weeping once the builder's warranty has run out.

Water and wastewater on site

Most acreage here runs on rainwater tanks and an on-site wastewater system. Servicing a treatment unit belongs to a licensed wastewater servicer; the drain line from the house out to it is plumbing we can clear.

The Work We Take Around Buchanan

Each local problem has a service page behind it:

Blocked drains

Roots pushing into lines near the treeline, storm water swamping culverts, and cracked earthenware drains at the remaining farmhouses as the ground moves

Hot water

Tanks in the older farm homes that date back to dairy days, plus repairs and new units for the larger houses

Gas fitting

Appliance connections, new lines to patio BBQs, and leak tracing and repair

Emergency plumbing

Split hoses in homes with several bathrooms, storm water backing up into garages, and hot water that fails in winter

For a damp patch or a water bill that makes no sense, the leak detection page explains how the source is found without pulling the house apart.

How a Booking Runs

Ring (02) 4063 3475 or use the form, and tell us about the block and the fault. Once a plumber has seen the fault, you get a fixed price to approve before any work.

Long runs on big blocks. On acreage, the length of pipe to reach, the material it is made of and the parts needed set the figure. Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work.

Questions From the Crossroads

Do the acreage blocks out here need a different kind of plumber?

Partly. Many blocks treat their own wastewater on site, and servicing those treatment units is a job for a licensed wastewater servicer, not us. We handle the house plumbing and the drain line running out to the tank, and the rest is ordinary plumbing spread over a bigger block.

Do you take after-hours jobs in Buchanan?

Yes. We are Available 24/7, and three main roads and the Hunter Expressway pass through the locality. Night and weekend work carries its own rate, which you hear before we set out.
