Water, sewer & backflow
Hunter Water supplies water and sewer here, and backflow test reports are lodged with Hunter Water. What the annual backflow test involves
Buttaba’s occupied homes at the 2021 Census were mostly separate houses, with 13 townhouses or flats among them, so we look for a meter or LPG cylinders at each property before quoting gas work.
Josh holds the gas licence as well as the plumbing licence, so the gas connection and the compliance certificate are part of the same job.
We repair, replace and install gas, electric, heat pump and continuous-flow hot water units in Buttaba, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.
We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Buttaba with the jetter or the drain machine, and put a camera down a drain that keeps blocking.
In Hunter Water’s area the owner looks after the sewer pipes up to where they join Hunter Water’s system, including the boundary trap and inspection shaft. If the inspection shaft is full or overflowing, the blockage may be in Hunter Water’s main, so call Hunter Water on 1300 657 000 (24/7) first.
Jobs to book
Local context
Henry Halloran named his 1920 subdivision Buttaba Hills, with the English Garden City movement shaping the design, and many of its streets took the names of UK towns that shared mining and industry with Lake Macquarie. A second Halloran plan followed in 1922, and Lakelands Ltd developed Welwyn Close in 1976. A jetty once stood at the estate on the western side of Secret Bay. The 2021 Census counted 1,204 residents, and 97.9% of occupied dwellings were separate houses. Plans from 1920, 1922 and 1976 sit side by side, so it is worth seeing what a house already has before new plumbing is planned.
