Plumber in Kersbrook

Adelaide Hills · just over the hill from Williamstown

Kersbrook is one of the closest towns to our Williamstown base. Craig looks after the township on the council CWMS and the hills blocks around it that run on tanks, pumps and their own septic systems.

A local plumber for Kersbrook

From Williamstown, Kersbrook is about 15 to 20 minutes by road, around 15 km. That makes it closer to us than most of the Barossa Valley towns, even though it sits in the Adelaide Hills Council area rather than the Barossa.

Craig handles the everyday jobs here, like a leaking tap, a toilet that won’t stop running, a blocked shower or a hot water unit on its last legs. He also looks after the hills properties, where the house relies on its own water and wastewater setup.

The Kersbrook CWMS and onsite systems

Kersbrook is one of the Adelaide Hills Council townships on a Community Wastewater Management System. Its wastewater is treated at a lagoon site, and council reuses the treated water on local ovals and vineyards, including for frost protection.

Kersbrook township

Connected to the council CWMS
  • Blocked lines between the house and the CWMS connection, jetted clear.
  • Drain camera checks when the same line keeps blocking.
  • Broken or root-damaged pipe dug up and replaced.
  • New connections for extensions and rebuilds.

On the hills blocks

Your own septic or aerobic system
  • Septic repairs and replacement tanks.
  • New onsite wastewater systems, with the design and council approval side coordinated.
  • Soakage trenches that have stopped taking water.
  • Overflowing tanks and smells near the system.

Tank water on a hills property

If the house runs on rainwater, every link in the chain matters. Craig can look after all of it.

  1. The tank

    New tanks supplied, positioned and connected to the downpipes, or an old one swapped out.

  2. The pump

    Pressure pumps tested, repaired or replaced with one sized to the house.

  3. Filter and UV

    Whole-house filtration and UV for the water you drink and shower in.

  4. Pipes in the cold

    Outside pipes and taps on exposed slopes are the first to split in a hard frost. Craig repairs split pipe and can re-run the worst of it.

Pump stopped and no water in the house? Ring 0499 319 297.

“He got back to us about our fairly urgent plumbing issue promptly (that of course happened after hours) and was out first thing in the morning to solve it.”

Hot water and gas in the hills

If your property is on bottled LPG or electric rather than mains gas, that shapes the hot water choice: an LPG continuous-flow unit, an electric or smart electric tank, or a heat pump that uses far less power than a standard electric tank.

Craig repairs whatever is there now and, when it’s time for a new one, works out which system suits the house and the household. LPG cooktops, heaters and gas lines are connected and tested under his licence, PGE341299.

What Kersbrook asks

Do you come out to Kersbrook?

Yes. Kersbrook is about 15 to 20 minutes from our base in Williamstown SA 5351, so it’s one of the closest towns we cover.

Does Kersbrook have a CWMS?

The township is on Adelaide Hills Council’s CWMS. Properties outside the township generally have their own septic or aerobic system.

Can you install a new septic system on a hills block?

Yes. Craig installs new onsite wastewater systems and replaces old ones, and coordinates the design and council approval side of the job.

My tank pump keeps cycling on and off. What’s wrong?

Usually a leak somewhere in the line or a worn pressure control on the pump. Craig tests it, finds which one it is and tells you whether it’s a repair or a new pump.

Do you work on gas in Kersbrook?

Yes. LPG and natural gas cooktops, heaters, hot water and gas lines, done by a licensed gas fitter, LIC PGE341299.

What if a pipe bursts at night?

Ring 0499 319 297. Burst pipes, sewage backing up, gas smells and no hot water are treated as emergencies, 24/7.
