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
Twelve of Freemans Waterhole’s 52 occupied dwellings were "other dwellings", not houses, at the 2021 Census, so we check each one. We look for a meter or LPG cylinders before quoting.
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 Freemans Waterhole, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.
We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Freemans Waterhole 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
Freemans Waterhole was the name given to the junction of Old Maitland Road and Palmers Road, a well-known rest stop that grew to include a restaurant, picnic facilities and an information centre until the F3 Freeway section was completed in 1987. The suburb’s boundary takes in a large area of Awaba State Forest. At the 2021 Census there were 120 residents and 52 occupied dwellings, and 12 of them (23.1%) were recorded as "other dwelling", the Census group that includes caravans and cabins, against 0.7% across NSW. A cabin or caravan has different plumbing connections from a house, which makes the dwelling type the first thing to establish.
Customer feedback
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.
