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
Holmesville has 519 private dwellings and nearly all are separate houses (2021 Census). For a gas hot water unit, cooktop or heater we first find the meter or the LPG cylinders, then quote.
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 Holmesville, and take the old unit away. No-hot-water jobs are attended around the clock.

We clear blocked sinks, toilets and sewers in Holmesville 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
Holmesville began in 1898, when Joseph Holmes divided 10 acres of his grant into 250 allotments and sold them for 20 pounds each. Council’s history entry gives 1902 for the water supply and notes the post office was called Estelville until 1968. A Lake Macquarie planning amendment published on 30 May 2025 extended the West Wallsend Heritage Conservation Area to include parts of Holmesville. Before moving a hot water unit or flue to a spot the street can see, ask council whether those heritage controls apply to the house.
