Shower repairs in Woonona

A shower usually gives some warning before it fails. Keep an eye out for:

• a shower head that keeps dripping after the mixer is turned off
• a mixer that's stiff, loose, or hard to set at a steady temperature
• weak flow from the shower while other taps run normally
• cracked or stained grout, hollow-sounding or lifting tiles, or damp skirting boards and a musty smell in the room next door, which can mean water is getting behind the tiles

What happens next

Many mixer and shower head faults come down to a worn washer or cartridge, which is a straightforward repair. Water behind the tiles needs prompt attention, because the longer it runs, the more it can damage. See our shower repairs page, or if the problem is pressure, read what causes low shower pressure.

Stormwater in Woonona: roofs, gutters and drains

Roof and gutter plumbing sits alongside stormwater in our Woonona job records, and the two go together: everything your roof collects runs through the gutters and downpipes into the stormwater pipes. Signs the system isn't coping:

• gutters spilling over the front edge in ordinary rain
• downpipes overflowing at the base, or water bubbling up out of a pit
• puddles that sit against the house for days after rain
• water getting into the garage, laundry or a ground-floor room

Whose pipes are they?

According to Sydney Water, the private water, wastewater and stormwater pipes and fittings on a property are the owner's to maintain. A blocked downpipe or broken stormwater line on your block is therefore a job for your plumber. We clear and repair stormwater drainage, and our stormwater maintenance guide has tips for keeping it flowing between visits.

Kitchens, laundries and renovations

Moving a sink, adding a laundry tub or switching from two taps to a mixer usually means changing the water and waste connections behind it. We do that work for Woonona home owners and builders, along with full bathroom renovations, and we'll quote it free before we begin. See sink installation and tap installation for more.

Shops and businesses in Woonona

Commercial work is part of our Woonona job history too. In a shop, café or office, a blocked toilet or a failed hot water unit affects customers and staff straight away, so it helps that we answer 24/7. For larger jobs, we'll talk through timing so the work fits around your trading hours. For more, see commercial plumbing in Wollongong.
