Landmarks
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
Gas supply in Charlestown is checked address by address. For a house or townhouse we look for a gas meter before quoting hot water or cooktop work, and where there is none we price 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 Charlestown, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.
Jobs to plan for in Charlestown
We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Charlestown 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
Charlestown began around the Waratah Coal Company’s first shaft, sunk in 1873. Charlestown Square, at 30 Pearson Street, opened in 1979. At the 2021 Census the suburb had 5,731 private dwellings; of the occupied ones, 76.0% were separate houses, 14.9% townhouses or semi-detached homes and 8.9% flats. With mostly houses and a smaller share of townhouses and units, each job starts with what is installed at that address, not with an assumption about the suburb.
Customer feedback
Thanks Josh for the installation of my new hot water system. A neat and extremely professional job. I appreciated your communication, reliability and punctuality. Gladly send more work your way.
We had our hot water system blow out while we were away for the weekend and came home to an absolute mess on a Sunday afternoon ! We contacted Donza Plumbing and within 24 hours Josh had us up an running again with a brand new install. His professionalism is commendable and we highly recommended Donza plumbing. Thanks Josh!
