Calista Plumber - Experts in Older Home Plumbing

Calista was one of the first suburbs built when Kwinana's townsite was laid out in the 1950s, and many homes still have plumbing that dates back 60 years or more. Maintenance Plumbing Co, based 8 km away in Rockingham, specialises in keeping these older homes running - and in upgrading them sensibly when the time comes.

We'll diagnose the real cause of the problem, explain your options & give you a fixed quote before we touch anything.

Plumbing Services in Calista

• Sewer & drain blockages - cleared by jetting & checked with a camera. See blocked drains & CCTV drain inspections.
• Galvanised & copper pipe replacement - staged re-piping to restore pressure & stop leaks. See plumbing services.

• Gas line checks & repairs - for older gas pipework & appliances. See gas services.

What's Under a 1950s Calista Home?

• Vitrified clay sewers: short pipe lengths with lots of joints - perfect entry points for tree roots. Repeat blockages usually mean roots or a displaced joint, which a CCTV inspection will confirm.
• Galvanised steel water pipes: they rust from the inside, causing low pressure, brown water & eventually leaks. Once one section fails, others usually follow.
• Old gas pipework: worth testing if you've noticed a smell or are adding a new appliance.
• Fibro (asbestos cement) construction: common in homes of this era. If plumbing work means disturbing wall sheeting or old pipes, we follow safe work practices & will tell you upfront if a licensed removalist is required.

Our guide to signs your plumbing needs maintenance explains the early warnings.

Repair, Reline or Replace?

Not every old pipe needs replacing. We'll camera your drains & test your water lines, then give you options - from a targeted repair of one bad section, to relining, to a staged replacement spread over time to suit your budget. Ongoing preventative plumbing maintenance (such as a yearly drain jet) keeps older systems working between upgrades. Landlords with Calista rentals can use our property management plumbing service.
