A hillside suburb with mining ground under it

North Lambton is an old mining hillside between the Lambton village shops and Jesmond. Its streets mix weatherboard miners' cottages, fibro builds from the postwar years and later brick veneer, and the Callaghan campus one suburb over feeds a strong rental and share-house market.

What the hill does to the pipes

Ground that still moves

The oldest cottages near the ridge run their sewers through clay pipe over old mine fill, and because that fill keeps settling, the joints part and roots find the gaps. When a cottage near the ridge keeps blocking, look for a cracked pipe rather than a stubborn clog.

Water that only goes one way

The grid falls the whole way from the ridge down to the Jesmond Park gully, so when a drain blocks up the hill, the yard below cops the water. Storm flows also gather speed down the sloped streets and test the pits and crossings halfway down.

Rentals that run to failure

Census figures count 3,454 people in 1,272 dwellings. Separate houses make up 85.8 per cent, and 27.4 per cent of homes are owned outright. In the rentals, rusted galvanised water pipe tends to be put off until a tenancy changes, and storage hot water units are left until they stop.

The work this run covers

Blocked drains

Clay sewers opened by subsiding mine fill, and hillside stormwater that floods the block below.

Hot water

A share house's dead cylinder swapped, with a loan tank if needed.

Gas fitting

New appliances in older cottages, and leaks found and fixed in ageing pipe.

Emergency plumbing

A corroded service bursting under a hillside home, or a sewer spilling at the lowest gully.

On this slope a blocked sewer overflows at the lowest gully connected to it, which can be a couple of houses below the actual blockage, so we trace the line before digging. A burst under an older home sends water down into the neighbours' yards, so it is handled as urgent.

Questions from North Lambton households

Do you charge a call-out fee to come to North Lambton?

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). The price is fixed once the plumber has looked, and nothing starts until you agree.

Can you work on a rental here without the owner present?

Yes. We get the landlord's or agent's approval first, text the tenants before arriving, and send an itemised invoice with photos of the finished repair.
