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
ABS puts 6.7% of Carey Bay’s occupied dwellings in its "other dwelling" group, which includes caravans and cabins; NSW is 0.7%. Gas is confirmed address by address, from the meter or any LPG cylinders.
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 Carey Bay, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.
Jobs to plan for in Carey Bay
We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Carey Bay 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.

Local context
Carey Bay is named for William Cary, a Sydney building-supply businessman and Glebe alderman who was a director of the Excelsior Land, Investment and Building Co, which held the first subdivision in 1891. The 1921 post office was officially "Cary Bay". From the 1940s an aviary on Tom Brown’s tomato block grew into the Carey Bay Zoo, which closed in 1958, and a caravan park was built on the site. The 2021 Census counted 10.1% of occupied dwellings as flats and 16.0% as semi-detached homes or townhouses. In a block of units or villas, the first question is which pipes serve one home and which are shared.

Professional with high attention to detail
My husband spoke with Josh the owner about our hot water service in the afternoon. By the next day it was installed and working. Great service. Great price. Very impressed.
