What Local Conditions Mean for Petersham's Pipes
When the Hawthorne Canal catchment gets more than a normal downpour, the volume simply outstrips what the ageing stormwater network can shift, and the terraces closest to Petersham Park feel that first.

Good questions, straight answers
The FAQs Petersham Asks Us
Straight answers to what Petersham homeowners ask us most.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the house immediately and stay clear of switches, appliances and open flames. Ring us from a safe distance, and if it's a heavy smell, dial 000 as well.
Does someone actually answer the phone, not a machine?
Always a real person, any hour. Never a recorded menu, never an overseas call centre.
Can tape or a repair kit get me through until the plumber arrives?
For a minor drip, maybe briefly. For anything moving real water, it usually just delays the actual fix and can hide the real fault from us later.
Is the price the same no matter which technician attends?
It is. Whoever's sent out prices the job against the same rate sheet, so the outcome doesn't depend on who's driving the van.
Do you handle blocked drains as an emergency?
Yes, particularly once water's rising back into the house rather than draining away. A sink that's merely slow can wait for a scheduled visit instead.
Is a leaking hot water tank safe to leave running?
No. Shut it down at the isolation valve if you can reach it safely, then give us a call before it gets worse.
