Plumber Frenchs Forest
1000+ five-star reviews
A lot of Frenchs Forest was built during the post-war push through the Forest District, and census figures put the suburb at roughly 92.5% separate dwellings. We work Forest Way, Frenchs Forest Road East and the streets off Bantry Bay Road constantly, from Davidson next door.
The big local question with housing this age is repair or replace. Much of the stock dates to the 1960s-1980s, so original earthenware sewers, second-generation hot water units and ageing flexi hoses are all reaching the end of their run at once.
We tell you plainly which side of that line your job falls on, before you spend a dollar.

Why Frenchs Forest plumbing looks different
Roots on the bushland edge. Blocks against Garigal National Park carry dense mature canopy, and roots find the ageing clay and earthenware drains beneath them on a predictable schedule.
A ridge with falling streets. The suburb sits on an elevated sandstone ridge at around 150m, with sloping side streets that channel silt into low points where lines block.
Wetter than the beaches. It regularly records higher rainfall than the coastal suburbs nearby, which surcharges stormwater systems in heavy downpours.
Renovation-era gas. Mid-century homes frequently keep older gas fittings, flagged for upgrade during kitchen and heating renovations.
Those four factors shape most of the callouts we attend here, from Lionel Watts Reserve through to the newer townhouses around the Northern Beaches Hospital precinct.

Good questions, straight answers
Questions from Frenchs Forest locals
Are tree roots really a problem for drains here?
Yes, because blocks beside Garigal National Park carry mature trees whose roots push into the older earthenware sewers, so camera checks and relining are common work in Frenchs Forest.
Should I repair or replace an old hot water system?
If the tank dates from the 1960s to 1980s build era and is leaking or failing repeatedly, replacement usually wins, because a repair only postpones the inevitable on a unit past its service life.
Do you charge a call out fee to come out and quote?
No, the call out fee is $0, and you receive a fixed written price before any work begins, so you can decline with nothing owing at any time.
Can steep blocks on the ridge cause drainage problems?
They can, because the sloping side streets off the sandstone ridge send silt and debris into low points where waste and stormwater lines block, which we clear and regrade where needed.
