Who We Are

Wangi Wangi Plumbing Co is the plumbing and gas team for Wangi Wangi and Arcadia Vale in Lake Macquarie. Drains, hot water, gas appliances and night-time faults all come to the one crew. Census figures put separate houses at 87.5 per cent of dwellings here, with a median age of 54. Read who we are for how a job runs from the first call.

Wangi Wangi Plumbing Services

The six cards cover the core trade. Outside them sit gutter guards for lakeside roofs under trees and commercial plumbing for shops and clubs.

A Holiday Village That Grew Older

The cottages stayed

Coalfields families first came to Wangi Wangi for holidays, and plenty of their fibro and weatherboard places are still lived in, now sharing the streets with brick-veneer homes from later decades and newer units on the water. Hot water services and copper runs from that first era are well beyond their working life, so a tank can fail with no warning at all.

Salt reaches the fittings

A tidal salt lagoon rings the whole suburb, so houses on the water side breathe salt all year and taps, fittings and metal pipe wear faster than inland gear.

Every block sheds water to the lake

Streets step down from the higher ground toward the foreshore, so a drainage line needs its fall graded right or it ponds after rain. That grading gets checked on every drainage job, not guessed.

How Quotes Are Put Together

That matters most when a job turns out messier than it looked: the number you approved is the number on the invoice.

"Communication was excellent, the quote was clear, and the work was completed promptly." Lily

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours).

Four things move a plumbing figure:

  • Access A tank boxed in under a low deck, or a pipe beneath a fibro floor, means more time on hands and knees than an open laundry.
  • Pipe material Copper, galvanised, PVC and polybutylene each come apart and go back together differently.
  • Parts The brand and size of a replacement unit or fitting sits plainly on the quote.
  • The clock Night and weekend jobs attract a separate rate, set out in writing before any work.

When we're not the right call: tripping power or a scorched switchboard is an electrician's job, as is running a new circuit for a heat pump. You get pointed to that trade, and we stay on the plumbing side of the job.

Your Call, Step by Step

  1. 1

    Ring or send the form

  2. 2

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 3

    The fix, done properly

    The fault gets repaired with the right gear, the area gets cleaned up, and you see exactly what was done.

  4. 4

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

When the Rain Rolls Down to the Lake

Storms test the low streets

Hunter rain sheets downhill to the lake, and council planning maps the low foreshore land for lake flooding, so a surcharged stormwater line overflows rather than drains. A slow drain after a storm is the drainage talking.

Roots hunt the old lines

Leafy streets and the bushland reserve at the point send tree roots into ageing earthenware and clay drains. A camera settles whether it's roots or a grading fault before anyone digs.

The water table sits close

Low blocks by the shore drain slowly, and groundwater finds its way into cracked pipes. A fix that ignores it will not hold.

What Customers Say

I commend them for their very fast and efficient service when we had a burst pipe.
Joan
They looked after an issue with the hot water system for us. It turned out that the unit was faulty. To ensure hot water, they immediately replaced the unit with a temporary one.

Suburbs We Cover Around Wangi Wangi

The run takes in the whole peninsula and its neighbours. Arcadia Vale sits next door and gets the same coverage on the same trip. Toronto, Rathmines, Bolton Point and Fassifern are also within reach, so ring and ask.

Questions Worth Asking First

Is there a fee just for coming out?

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). Inside business hours, having the job looked at and priced is free. A night or weekend visit has its own rate, and that rate is named when you book.

The hot water has gone cold. What now?

Ring and describe what the unit is doing, whether that's no hot water, lukewarm taps or water on the floor. Many units here are decades old, so the call is repair or replace, and that decision gets explained with a fixed figure for each option before you choose.

There's a gas smell in the house. What should I do?

Open windows and doors, don't flick switches or light anything, and get everyone outside. From outside, call the gas network emergency line, then ring us to find and repair the leak. Gas work is licensed work, and a smell is never something to sit on.

Can I clear a blocked drain myself before calling?

A plunger on a slow floor waste is fine. Chemicals are not something we recommend; they can damage old pipes and seldom get to the real blockage. If the line keeps blocking, a jetter or electric eel clears it properly, with a camera check before and after the work.

Do you take on units, shops and strata properties?

Yes. A single cottage, a unit block and a shop all get the same licensed work. Strata jobs follow a set process: tenants are called to arrange access, a confirmation and a pre-arrival message go out, and the invoice is detailed with photos attached.

Which areas do you service?

The whole Wangi Wangi peninsula, from the village strip to the point, plus Arcadia Vale on the same run. Toronto and the Rathmines side are within reach, Fassifern too. If your suburb is nearby, ring and ask.
