Plumber Modbury
Plumbing for family homes across the north-east
Modbury is the heart of the Tea Tree Gully area, with Westfield Tea Tree Plaza, the O-Bahn interchange and Modbury Hospital, surrounded by streets of family homes built mostly in the 1960s and 70s. Adam Plumbing and Gas has been working on homes from this era across Adelaide since 1997.
Reactive clay and cracked pipes
Much of Adelaide's north-east sits on reactive clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Over the years that movement can crack or shift underground sewer and water pipes, causing blockages and hidden leaks. We camera-inspect drains and use water leak detection to find the damage, then repair just the section that needs it.
Small leaks that add up
A running toilet or dripping tap wastes far more water than most people expect, and a slow leak under a vanity can quietly rot the cabinet and floor. We fix leaking pipes, taps and toilets.
Hot water
Most Modbury homes are on their second or third hot water system by now. When yours starts leaking, rusting or running cold, we can repair it or replace it with a system sized for your household. See hot water repair and replacement.
Nearby suburbs we also cover
Modbury Heights, Modbury North, Ridgehaven, Banksia Park, Tea Tree Gully, Hope Valley, Highbury, St Agnes and Holden Hill, plus Salisbury and Northgate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can ground movement really crack pipes?
Yes. Reactive clay soils move with the seasons, and older rigid pipes can crack or separate at the joints. A camera inspection shows whether that has happened.
How much water does a dripping tap waste?
It depends on the drip, but a steady one can waste thousands of litres a year. It is usually a quick fix.
Do you cover the rest of Tea Tree Gully?
Yes, including Modbury Heights, Ridgehaven, Banksia Park and the surrounding suburbs.
What Our Customers Say
★★★★★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
