Plumber Kensington
Stormwater, drains, leaks and gas for Kensington homes
Kensington is one of the oldest parts of Adelaide's east, with narrow streets, stone cottages, big established gardens and Second Creek running through the suburb. That combination makes for some very specific plumbing jobs, and Adam Plumbing and Gas has been solving them for local households since 1997.
Stormwater and roof water
Older Kensington homes often have box gutters, small downpipes and stormwater lines that were never designed for today's heavy downpours. When they overflow, water ends up in ceilings, against walls or pooling under the house. We find where the water is getting in, clear or replace blocked stormwater pipes and fix gutters and downpipes. See roof leaks and stormwater.
Tree roots in sewer lines
Large gums and established garden trees are part of the suburb's character, but their roots go looking for water, and old clay sewer pipes are an easy target. If your drains keep blocking, a one-off clean is rarely the end of it. We camera-inspect the line, clear it, and talk you through options to fix the damaged section for good. More on our blocked drains page.
Hidden leaks
A water bill that has jumped, a damp patch on a wall or a meter that ticks over with every tap off are signs of a leak you can't see. Our water leak detection service finds it without pulling the house apart, and we fix leaking pipes, taps and toilets on the same visit where we can.
Nearby suburbs we also cover
Kensington Park, Kensington Gardens, Marryatville, Heathpool, Beulah Park and Norwood.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my drains keep blocking in the same spot?
In older Kensington homes the usual cause is tree roots getting into clay pipe joints, or a pipe that has sagged or cracked. A drain camera shows which it is, so you are not paying for the same clean-out again and again.
Can you fix overflowing gutters and stormwater?
Yes. We repair and replace gutters, downpipes and underground stormwater lines, and find the source of roof leaks.
Do you cover Kensington Park and Kensington Gardens too?
Yes, along with Marryatville, Heathpool, Beulah Park and the rest of the eastern suburbs.
What Our Customers Say
★★★★★Great to know there are reliable tradespeople ready to get on with the job! I had a problem with my down pipe. Being winter, water was gushing and starting to flood the backyard. I contacted Adam and within hours his team were on my doorstep ready to tackle the problem.
Alice Pennington
★★★★★The lads from APG did a fantastic job to the issue of water draining by the foundation of my home (from three downpipes). Upon investigation they problem solved, came up with a great solution, and fixed it very quickly. A bonus was their friendly attitude and the fact that they cleaned up after themselves.
Kathy Rogers
★★★★★Very responsive to my initial call, a technician arrived the same morning, calling to arrange a suitable time. Kept us informed and fixed the leaking pipework to an outside tap very quickly and efficiently. We were very happy with the service provided and definitely recommend.
