Emergency Plumber Blacktown & Mount Druitt

Plumbing in Blacktown & Mount Druitt, NSW

Blacktown & Mount Druitt takes in Blacktown, Seven Hills, Quakers Hill, Doonside, Rooty Hill, Mount Druitt, Blackett and Schofields, the flat Cumberland Plain country between Prospect Reservoir and Eastern Creek. It is one of the most populous local government areas in the state, and the plumbing ranges from 1950s fibro and 1960s Housing Commission duplexes on reactive clay to 1990s brick estates and the PEX-plumbed new homes of the North West Growth Area.

Almost all of Blacktown sits on Cumberland Plain clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons, so rigid pipes move. The 1950s to 70s fibro and brick homes of Blacktown, Seven Hills, Doonside and Rooty Hill still have earthenware sewers and often original galvanised water lines. The 1960s and 70s Housing Commission estates around Mount Druitt, including Blackett, were built fast with shared drainage through duplexes and townhouse rows. Quakers Hill is 1990s and 2000s brick on slabs, and the North West Growth Area at Schofields, Riverstone and The Ponds has been built since 2010 with PEX pipework, pressure limiting valves and tight lots. Westpoint, Blacktown Hospital, Westfield Mount Druitt and Sydney Zoo are the landmarks; the M7, M4, Great Western Highway, Richmond Road and Sunnyholt Road are the routes.
