Rhodes has changed a lot. The old industrial land along Homebush Bay is now wall-to-wall apartment towers near Rhodes Waterside and Rhodes station. That means the plumbing here is almost all high-rise and unit work, and it comes with its own quirks.

Shared drainage stacks

In an apartment block, your drains do not run to their own line. They tie into shared stacks that run down through the building. So when a bathroom or kitchen backs up, it can be your unit or it can be higher up the stack. Terry knows how to work out which is which without making a mess of the wrong wall.

Water hammer

Water hammer, that bang in the pipes when a tap shuts, is very common in these towers because of the way the risers are pressured. Terry can dampen it down so it stops rattling the neighbours.

Balcony and cupboard jobs

A couple of Rhodes regulars:

  • Blocked balcony drains, which fill up and flood inside during heavy rain
  • Instantaneous hot water units tucked into a hallway or laundry cupboard that need servicing or repair
  • Leaking mixer taps and running toilets, the bread and butter of unit work

Strata-friendly

Terry works cleanly and is used to buildings with strata rules, parking access and lift bookings. He will do the job without upsetting the building manager.

He covers Rhodes Monday to Saturday, with after-hours callouts at an extra fee. You get Terry on the phone every time. NSW licence L10959, plumbing since 1986. Call 0415 274 542.
