Figtree Plumbing, Built for the Slope
Figtree sits in the foothills a few minutes south-west of the Wollongong CBD, on the rising ground between the city and the escarpment. Most of it was built from the 1960s through the 80s: solid brick-veneer family homes on generous, often steep blocks, with a busy commercial centre in the middle and newer townhouses filling gaps since.
Slope is everything here. Stormwater from the escarpment races through Figtree's yards, retaining walls hide old pipes, and long runs of pipework from the street to the house lose pressure and spring leaks. Add hot water tanks now on their second or third replacement and gas heaters in most lounge rooms, and that's our Figtree workload.

Figtree Homes
Three Kinds of Figtree Block, Three Kinds of Job
The long, steep block
House high above the street or well below it. Long water services lose pressure and long sewers hide problems; we camera and pressure-test both.
The bushland edge
Homes backing onto the escarpment get the tree roots and the stormwater first. Reline the sewer, upsize the stormwater, done.

Hot water systems

Roots from mature gardens and the bush edge in decades-old sewers. CCTV camera finds it, hydro-jet clears it, relining fixes it for good.
Blocked drains
Roof, Gutters & Stormwater
Escarpment runoff overwhelms Figtree's stormwater on every big storm. Cleared, repaired and upsized so it drains away from the house, not into it.

MichaelFigtree, hot water replacement
“Pressure had dropped to a dribble upstairs. Turned out to be a corroded section of the long service from the street. Fixed in a day.”

Questions
Figtree Questions, Answered
How quickly can you reach Figtree?
Our Wollongong crews are minutes away, so genuine emergencies in 2525 are usually attended within 45 minutes* and other jobs the same day. *Subject to availability.
My garage floods in heavy rain. Is that fixable?
Almost always. On Figtree's slopes it's usually an undersized or collapsed stormwater line or a blocked pit. We camera it, clear or replace it, and upsize where the escarpment demands.
Water pressure upstairs is poor. What's causing it?
On a steep block it's often a long, corroded water service or an undersized line. We pressure-test at the meter and the house to find where you're losing it.
Can you replace a hot water system for a big family the same day?
Yes in most cases. We carry family-sized electric tanks and can fit heat pump or continuous-flow systems within a day or two where extra work is needed.
I'm renting in Figtree. Can I book you?
The booking needs to come from your landlord or property manager. Send them our number and we'll take it from there.
