Kitchen Plumbing Adamstown

The kitchen works its plumbing harder than any other room in the house. We handle the lot across Adamstown and nearby suburbs: taps and sink mixers, dishwasher hook-ups, drainage, gas cooktops and the pipes behind your cabinets, all done by licensed plumbers with a $0 call out.

You will find the full scope of our general work on the plumbing hub. This page covers what a kitchen job actually involves, room by room.

What kitchen plumbing covers

A kitchen job is rarely just one fitting. Most calls turn out to be two or three small things stacked together, so we price the whole job before a tool comes out:

Taps and mixers

Dripping sink mixers, stiff spindles and worn washers, including swapping in a new mixer without damaging the benchtop.

Dishwasher connections

Feed, drain and the fittings the manufacturer specifies, done properly so the warranty holds. See dishwasher installation for the full service.

Sink drainage

Grease-clogged traps, slow wastes and smells that trace back to a drying trap rather than anything spooky.

Gas cooktops

Licensed connection of new cooktops and updating dated gas runs, covered on our gas fitting page.

Supply pipes

Flow problems and discoloured water that come down to old pipework rather than the tap itself.

Renovation rough-ins

Moving sinks and wastes to suit a new layout, coordinated with your cabinet maker's schedule.

If water is pouring rather than dripping, that is an emergency plumbing job and it gets treated like one.

Why kitchen water runs rusty in the older streets

Galvanised steel does two things as it ages.

It rusts from the inside out, and it narrows as the corrosion builds. Plenty of Federation and inter-war homes around here still run their kitchen off the originals.

The signs show up at the tap.

By the time the corrosion reaches the sink, the stream runs weaker than it used to and the water can carry a rusty tint, first thing in the morning especially.

A new mixer will not fix that. The honest fix is replacing the corroded section with modern piping, and a kitchen reno is usually the most affordable moment because the cabinet comes out anyway. We test the supply pressure first so you know whether you are replacing three metres or re-piping the run.

What a kitchen reno actually involves

Around Myers Park and the renewal corridor, weatherboard and fibro cottages are getting new kitchens all the time, and every one of those renos uncovers pipework from another era. Three things come up again and again:

Old gas runs

Dated gas lines feeding heaters and cooktops are common in the older housing stock, and a reno is when they get pressure-tested and brought up to current standards rather than left behind the new cabinets.

Flexi hoses

Renovated kitchens rely on braided flexi hoses under the sink, and those hoses have a habit of letting go a few years in. A burst one floods the cabinet and the floor while you are out, which is why we fit quality hoses and check the old ones whenever we are under there.

Kitchen jobs we handle every week

A tap that will not stop dripping

Usually a worn washer, seat or cartridge, and it is sorted in a single visit. If the mixer body itself has corroded, we show you the replacement options before touching anything.

A sink that drains slower every month

Grease and scraps build up in the trap until the whole run slows. We pull the trap, clear the waste and tell you honestly whether habit, fall or old pipe is to blame.

Water pooling under the sink

A weeping waste, failed flexi hose or loose connection. Cabinet floors rot once water sits, so we chase the leak to its source and replace the fitting.

Low flow a clean aerator cannot fix

Weak flow across the whole tap points upstream, usually to corroded galvanised supply. We trace the restriction back to its source and quote the pipe repair rather than a fourth new tap.

Kitchen plumbing questions

Why does my kitchen water run rusty?

In the older cottages it is nearly always the galvanised supply corroding from the inside, and a tap swap will not fix it. We test the pressure first, then quote the pipe replacement.

Do you connect gas cooktops during a reno?

Yes, and it is licensed work. While we are in there we pressure-test the existing run, because dated gas lines hidden behind old cabinets deserve updating while the access is easy.

Can you clear a grease blockage in the drain?

We pull and clean the trap first, then clear the run beyond it. A blockage that keeps coming back points further out, and a camera inspection finds the real cause.

Do you install filter taps and under-sink gear?

All of it, mixer swaps included, plus the isolation stops filter taps need. Quality braided hoses go in as standard under every sink we touch, which keeps the cabinet dry.

How much does kitchen plumbing cost?

It depends on the job: tap swap, drainage fix or pipe replacement. The call out is $0 and the price is fixed in writing before we start.

Do you work around my cabinets and benchtops?

Carefully. We sheet the area, isolate the water first, and schedule any renovation work with your cabinet maker so the rough-in lands at exactly the right stage of the job.
