Plumber Koonawarra.
Lakeside living, outside and in.

Koonawarra 2530 runs down to the lake, and lakeside living happens outdoors: boats to rinse, gardens to water, an outdoor shower after a paddle. Our south-west crew looks after the plumbing outside the house as much as inside it. Fixed pricing, $0 call-out, 24/7.

Koonawarra Plumbing, From the Back Fence to the Boat Ramp

Koonawarra sits on the western shore of the lake beside Dapto, about twenty-five minutes south-west of the Wollongong CBD. The streets slope gently to the foreshore reserve and boat ramp, lined with fibro and brick homes from the 1960s and 70s that have been steadily renovated, extended and, in many cases, fitted out for a life spent on the water.

That outdoor life shapes what we get asked for. Garden and wash-down taps, outdoor showers, irrigation connections with proper backflow protection, and stormwater that has to reach the lake without flooding the yard on the way. Indoors it is the usual sixty-year-old story: earthenware sewers, galvanised water lines and a hot water tank that has been replaced twice already.

Koonawarra Regulars

What the Lakeside Crew Does Most Here

Outdoor taps and wash-down points

Frost-free hose taps where you actually need them, with backflow protection, so the boat gets rinsed without a hose through the hallway.

Stormwater to the foreshore

Yards that hold water after rain because the line to the street or the lake has silted or collapsed. Cleared and repaired.

Roots in 60s sewers

Established gardens and earthenware pipe. Camera, jet and reline the section that keeps blocking.

Old galvanised water lines

Pressure that fades when the sprinkler is on. Worst run found and replaced.

Koonawarra Homes

Where the Plumbing Lives in a Koonawarra Home

Out the back

Hose taps, wash-down points, outdoor showers and irrigation, all needing backflow protection so lake water and garden chemicals never siphon into your drinking supply.

In the original house

1960s and 70s fibro or brick with first-generation sewer and water lines. Renewed in stages, worst runs first.

In the extension

A new living area or granny flat on the lake side of the block, plumbed into old services that need checking before they carry more.

Koonawarra Reviews

Happy on the Water and Off It

Rated 4.9 stars by customers on ProductReview.

“Wanted a wash-down tap by the trailer and an outdoor shower for after the lake. Done in a morning, backflow valve fitted and tested, and the kids use it more than the bathroom.”
ShaneKoonawarra, outdoor plumbing
“Backyard turned into a pond every time it rained. They found the stormwater line had collapsed on its way to the street and replaced it. Dry ever since.”
TrishKoonawarra, stormwater
“Old fibro place, sewer blocked twice a year. Relined the bad run and it has been perfect for two years now.”

Questions

Koonawarra Questions, Answered

Can you add an outdoor shower or wash-down tap?

Yes, it is one of our most common Koonawarra jobs. We run hot and cold where needed, fit frost-free tapware and install the backflow protection the water authority requires.

Why do I need backflow protection on a garden tap?

A hose left in a bucket, a pool or a fertiliser mix can siphon back into your drinking water when pressure drops. A tested backflow device stops that and keeps you compliant.

How fast can you get to Koonawarra?

Our south-west crew is based in Dapto next door, so genuine emergencies in 2530 are usually attended within 45 minutes* and other jobs same-day. *Subject to availability.

Our yard floods after rain. Is that a plumbing problem?

Usually. Stormwater lines running to the street or the foreshore silt up or collapse over sixty years. We camera the line, clear or replace it, and add pits where the block needs them.

I'm renting in Koonawarra. Can I book you?

Your landlord or property manager needs to make the booking. Send them our number and we'll take it from there.
