Tap running dry with a full rainwater tank? Pump that won’t hold its prime, or a septic starting to back up across the yard? On a Dural acreage block, the plumbing that keeps the house running mostly isn’t on the street – it’s your tank, your pump and your wastewater system, and sorting it takes a plumber who works on them every week, not one who only knows houses on the mains.
We look after the plumbing that comes with life off the sewer and the water main – septic and aerated wastewater systems, rainwater tanks, pressure pumps, bore water and LPG – alongside the everyday blocked drains, hot water and leaks on blocks where the drain lines run a long way.

Dural is acreage and rural-residential living, so the plumbing reaches well beyond the house, to septic systems, water tanks, pumps and drain lines that run a long way across the block. From a leaking tap to a failing pump or a blocked sewer line, we handle the lot, and we work out the cause and the cost before we begin.
On Dural’s big blocks, a blocked drain often means a long private line clogged with roots or silt, or a septic system that has backed up. We camera the line to find the blockage wherever it is, clear it with high-pressure jetting, and show you the cause so it does not return.
Drain lines on acreage can run a long way underground, so digging up the whole run to fix one break makes little sense. We reline the damaged section from the inside, sparing the paddock, garden or driveway, and the new liner outlasts the old pipe.
Large rural homes lean hard on their hot water, often on electric, solar, heat-pump or LPG rather than mains gas. We repair and replace every type, size a new system to the household, and sort out the pressure and pump issues that come with tank-fed supply.
Plenty of Dural homes run on LPG rather than natural gas, so our licensed gas fitters handle bottled and mains gas alike, cooktops, heaters, hot water, new lines, changeover regulators and compliance certificates. If you ever smell gas, call us, move clear, and we will make it safe first.
A leak on an acreage block, in the house, the supply line from the tank, or out across the yard, can run a long time unseen. We use acoustic and thermal detection to pinpoint it, and handle the everyday taps, toilets, pumps and pressure problems too.
A burst pipe, failed pump or septic overflow on a rural block cannot wait, especially when it is your only water or wastewater. We answer Dural emergencies around the clock, every day of the year, with the price agreed before we start and nothing charged just to attend.
Dural is a semi-rural suburb in the Hills District, spread across The Hills Shire and part of the Hornsby Shire at postcode 2158, about 36 km north-west of the city. It has no train station and a country feel, large acreage and rural-residential blocks, hobby farms, horse properties and the plant nurseries the area is known for, with the Round Corner shops at its centre and bushland along its edges. Many homes sit well back from the road on big blocks, off Old Northern Road and New Line Road.
That rural setting changes the plumbing. A lot of Dural is off the sewer, on septic systems or aerated treatment systems, and off the water main, on rainwater tanks and pumps, sometimes bore water too. Drain and supply lines run long distances, gas is often LPG rather than mains, and stormwater has to be managed across large blocks. We come equipped for all of it, with CCTV cameras, jet blasters, leak detection, pump and tank know-how and gas-testing gear, so we find the real fault and price it before we start.

Septic, tanks & pumps
Dural’s plumbing problems are rural ones, tied to life off the sewer and the water main, on big blocks with long lines. These are the jobs we are called to most, with the cause behind each and the way we sort it.
Much of Dural is off the sewer, so homes rely on septic tanks or aerated wastewater systems, and when one blocks, backs up or stops treating properly, it quickly becomes a health and odour problem on the block.
We clear and inspect the system, repair pumps, lines and outlets, advise on pump-outs and servicing, and get the wastewater flowing and treating as it should again.
With many properties on tank water, a failed pressure pump, a leaking tank or a faulty switch can leave a Dural home with no water at all, or with pressure that drops away to nothing.
We repair and replace pressure pumps, tanks, switches and mains-changeover systems, track down tank and line leaks, and get reliable pressure back to the house.
On a large Dural block the drain and supply lines can run a very long way between the house, the tanks, the system and the street, so a fault is often far from where the symptom shows and hard to find.
We camera the full run to locate the exact problem, then jet, repair or reline only that section instead of digging up the whole line.
Without kerbing and street drainage, stormwater on Dural’s big blocks has to be managed across the land itself, and when pits, lines and absorption trenches clog or fail, heavy rain floods the low spots and runs at the house.
We clear and camera the stormwater system, check the falls and trenches, and repair or upgrade the pipework so the run-off is carried safely away across the block.
Off the mains, Dural homes often run LPG gas and tank-fed hot water, so a gas changeover fault or a hot water system struggling with tank pressure are both common out here.
We service and replace hot water and LPG systems, sort out regulators, changeovers and pressure, and make sure everything runs safely and to code.
Dural’s gardens, nurseries and surrounding bush mean plenty of roots, and they find their way into the long clay drain lines under the block, slowing and blocking them, usually worst after rain.
We camera the line to find the root intrusions, cut and flush them out under pressure, and reline the damaged lengths so the roots stay out.
Plenty of Dural properties draw on a bore as well as tank water, so we install and repair bore pumps, pressure systems and the pipework that ties a bore into the house, and sort out the pressure and priming faults that leave taps spluttering or dry. If your bore or tank supply has dropped off, we find out why and get it flowing again.
Rural and tank-fed properties, and anywhere with irrigation or a secondary water source, need backflow prevention devices installed, tested and certified to keep the drinking supply safe and stay compliant. We fit and test them, lodge the certification, and set a reminder so the annual test doesn’t lapse.
Tank and bore water usually needs treating before it’s ideal to drink, so we install and service whole-house, tank and bore water filtration - sediment, carbon and UV - sized to your supply, so the water coming out of the taps is clean and clear all the way through the house.

We don’t work on an open-ended hourly rate, because on an acreage job - where the fault can be a long way from the house - an hourly clock is how people end up with a bill they didn’t expect. There’s no call-out fee, even out on the acreage. We assess the job on site, quote a fixed price before we start, and that’s what you pay whether it takes one hour or a full day. The quote is free, and there’s no obligation.
Two things beyond the usual licence-and-insurance check matter out here: make sure they actually work on septic and aerated systems, tanks, pumps and bore water - not just mains plumbing - and that they’ll quote a fixed price in writing rather than an open-ended rate. Ask them to show you the problem, whether that’s the drain-camera footage on a long line or the pump reading. We do all of that as standard; ask us for the licence and the written quote every time.
Tell us what is happening at your Dural home or property, on the sewer or on a septic and tank, and we will come back with a clear, no-obligation quote. If it cannot wait, a phone call gets the team moving fastest.
