Common Plumbing Problems in Northcote
Leaky Drain?
Many homes in the area have ageing galvanised steel pipes with rusted and corroded sections, leading to frequent leaks around the sink drains.
Faulty Toilet Flapper?
The older homes in Northcote often feature toilets with worn-out flappers that don't seal properly, causing continuous running water and a general mess.
Clogged Basement Drainage?
Older houses built before 1970s have clay pipes, which can be prone to blockages due to sediment buildup, leading to frequent clogs in the basement drains.
From Our Plumbers
"For hot water issues in Northcote, we carry common replacement parts in our vans. About 70% of hot water problems we see are thermostat or element failures, which our plumbers can often fix same-day without needing a full system replacement."
