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
1,279 of Caves Beach’s 1,496 occupied dwellings are separate houses (2021 Census). Each house’s own supply, a gas meter or LPG cylinders, is confirmed at the property before any gas work is priced.
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 Caves Beach, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.
Jobs to plan for in Caves Beach
We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Caves Beach 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
Caves Beach began as The Plains Beach, was renamed Mawson in 1960, and got its present name back in 1965 after residents objected. The council’s history notes the large caves on the beach. The Parbury Estate was subdivided in 1935, Swansea High School opened here in January 1964, and Lake Macquarie City Council gives 1955 for the water supply. A house built between that first subdivision and the water supply is worth checking for how it was first connected.
Customer feedback
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.
Highly recommended! Excellent communication and response time. Installation of our hot water system was without delay and, professionally executed by Josh who even cleaned up afterwards - Great price too! Thanks Donza Plumbing Pty Ltd
