A high point and two flood corridors

Morts Road meets Pitt Street at a high point near the station entrance, and Georges River Council’s master plan has the ground sloping away from the station to the west, south and south-east. Near Oxford Street, Morts Road sits 16 metres lower than the station entrance. The same plan says flood water spreads from Dairy Creek towards the north-east, and it maps the flood prone land mainly along two corridors that run diagonally across the residential area. A fall like that usually gives a drainage line plenty of gravity, so what tends to matter more here is what the water crosses on its way down and where it ends up.

What we handle in Mortdale

Where water travels, who shares the pipework, when to check it, and what it costs.

The Emergency Plumber page is the one to open when something gives way without warning. This page is the other sort of visit, the one you set a date for.

Water that started somewhere else.

The council’s master plan maps flood prone land mainly along two corridors running diagonally across the residential area, so a yard on one of them can be taking water that started further along the corridor. A stormwater line in that position can end up carrying more than its own block’s water, which is worth knowing while nothing is wrong with it. The stormwater and sewer side of it 

Two homes, one land parcel.

In the area the council’s master plan calls North Residential, it notes multi-dwellings, meaning two or more detached or attached houses on one land parcel. Where that happens, the houses usually share some pipework, so a leak can involve more than one household and more than one decision-maker. Settling that first beats guessing. Finding where a leak actually starts 

Looked at regularly, not once it fails.

Putting the hot water, the drain lines and the gas appliances on a regular check comes to less than any one of them packing up unannounced. On a narrow Kemps Estate lot, side access can be tight, so we would rather measure the pipework up first.

The number comes first.

Some jobs attract a call-out fee and some do not. When yours does, we say what it is up front, long before an invoice exists.

Frequently asked questions

On part of it, yes. The council's master plan for the Mortdale centre maps flood prone land mainly along two corridors running diagonally across the residential area, generally with a flood water depth of 0.3 to 0.75 metres. Whether your own block sits on one of them is worth establishing early.

Morts Road meets Pitt Street at a high point near the station entrance, and the council's master plan puts Morts Road 16 metres lower than the station entrance near Oxford Street. Plenty of fall is usually a help. The catch is that whatever sits at the bottom of a run like that tends to get what comes down it.

Neither, really. The council's master plan splits the streets around the centre into named character areas with different buildings. The Strand character area is mostly apartments of three to four levels, the south has single to two storey houses with large back yards, and the north has higher site coverage than the south, with some parcels holding more than one dwelling.
