Plumber North Adelaide
Careful plumbing for heritage homes and local businesses
North Adelaide is one of the city's oldest residential areas, ringed by the Park Lands, with bluestone and sandstone villas, terraces and grand old homes, and busy café strips along O'Connell Street and Melbourne Street. Plumbing here can be many decades old, and Adam Plumbing and Gas has been working on homes like these since 1997.
Old pipes behind stone walls
Many North Adelaide homes still have original clay sewer pipes, and some still have old galvanised water pipe hidden in thick stone walls. We inspect first with a CCTV drain camera, so repairs go exactly where they are needed and the house and garden are disturbed as little as possible. See drainage solutions.
Renovating a heritage home
Adding a modern bathroom or kitchen to an old stone house takes care. Heritage controls, thick walls and old drains all affect where new plumbing can go. We handle the plumbing and gas for building and renovation work and are happy to work with your builder from the planning stage.
O'Connell and Melbourne Street businesses
Cafés, restaurants and shops rely on hot water and clear drains every trading day. We do commercial plumbing repairs and regular maintenance to keep them running.
Nearby suburbs we also cover
Prospect, Medindie, Walkerville, Ovingham, Fitzroy and the Adelaide CBD.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work on heritage-listed homes?
Yes. We take extra care with original fabric, inspect before we dig and explain the options before any work starts.
Can you inspect the drains before I buy an older house?
Yes. A CCTV drain inspection before you buy tells you what condition the sewer line is in, so there are no surprises later.
Why is the water pressure low in my old house?
Old galvanised pipe narrows as it rusts inside. We can test the system and replace the worst sections.
What Our Customers Say
★★★★★Personable, professional and meticulous service. The staff I encountered were all pleasant and honest. The plumber worked hard to repair my old unit, and was almost apologetic when he couldn't get the 20 plus year old unit to work. The changeover to the new system was handled efficiently and all mess was cleaned up.
Wendy Barker
★★★★★Adam and his team are unlike traditional plumbers because they actually care about the people they provide their services to. Adam came to investigate an unpleasant smell on our property. Adam succeeded where many other plumbers had failed.
