Plumber Findon
Old Port Group, Your Trusted Local Plumbers Servicing Findon for over 35 years.
We're a fully licensed South Australian plumbing business, insured, and based close by in Royal Park — not a call centre routing your job out to a subcontractor. Around the Findon Road and Grange Road corner, and through the streets near Findon Oval, Findon's mix of post-war and modern infill homes know Old Port Plumbing as the plumber Findon residents call when something needs fixing properly the first time. Our plumbing licence (PGE 359332) and builders licence (BLD 53735) are held with SA Consumer and Business Services and can be verified any time. Years spent working across Adelaide's western suburbs have taught us the specific plumbing quirks of this part of town, and that local knowledge is exactly why so many Findon households and businesses keep calling the same plumber Findon rather than starting over with someone new.

Old Port Plumbing provides full-service residential plumbing to Findon households, alongside a smaller amount of commercial and emergency work. Our plumbing services Findon cover everything from a dripping tap to a full hot water replacement, and every job is quoted upfront before we start. As a Findon plumber based just up the road in Royal Park, we're familiar with the plumbing conditions specific to this part of Adelaide's western suburbs, which means less guesswork and a more accurate first quote. The sections below cover our core services in more detail.
Emergency Plumbing in Findon
Fast, reliable plumbing for leaks, burst pipes, blocked drains, and other emergencies.
Burst pipes, gas leaks, no hot water, overflowing drains and blocked toilets don't always wait for business hours. During our operating hours (Monday to Friday, 7am – 5pm), an emergency call takes priority over routine bookings, and we aim to be on site in Findon within approximately one hour. We're a growing local team rather than a 24-hour call centre, so outside these hours please call 08 8102 1555 and we'll get back to you as soon as we're able — for a gas leak or anything immediately dangerous, please also contact your gas retailer's emergency line. Any after-hours rate is quoted plainly before work begins.
Hot Water System Repairs & Replacement
Specialist hot water repairs, immediate service, 24/7 support, reliable solutions.
We repair and replace all four common hot water types — gas storage, gas continuous flow, electric, and heat pump — and work with the major brands, including Rinnai, Rheem, Bosch, Dux, Chromagen, Thermann, Vulcan and AquaMax. Eligible households replacing a natural gas hot water system may also qualify for the $150 Australian Gas Networks rebate — refer to the Australian Gas Networks website.
Gas Fitting & Gas Appliance Installation
Installation of gas appliances, leak detection, repairs, and maintenance.
We provide licensed gas plumber Findon services for cooktops, ovens, gas heaters, gas hot water systems, and natural gas BBQ points, all under plumbing licence PGE 359332. All gas work is certified and compliant with AS/NZS 5601
Blocked Drains & CCTV Drain Inspections
Quick, reliable blocked drain cleaners that can unblock your sink, sewer, shower, or toilet drains.
We offer three distinct services for blocked and problem drains: hydro-jet drain clearing, CCTV camera inspection, and no-dig pipe relining.
Findon's older housing stock means aged earthenware and clay drainage is common, and a CCTV inspection lets us identify a collapsed or root-affected section before any excavation is committed to — often saving a homeowner from unnecessary digging.
As a general rule, the property owner is responsible for drainage from the property boundary inward — SA Water has more detail on where that responsibility sits.
Leak Detection & Burst Pipe Repairs
Quick, reliable blocked drain cleaners that can unblock your sink, sewer, shower, or toilet drains.
We use non-invasive acoustic and pressure-test equipment to find leaks without unnecessary digging or wall damage. A simple at-home check worth trying first: record your water meter reading, avoid using any water for two hours, then check it again — a change indicates a leak somewhere in the system, per SA Water's guidance. In older Findon housing stock, common leak locations include hot water service connections, under-slab copper joints, and irrigation feed lines.
Bathroom, Kitchen & Laundry Plumbing
Quick, reliable blocked drain cleaners that can unblock your sink, sewer, shower, or toilet drains.
From tap repair and replacement, toilet installation, dishwasher installation and cistern repair, through to full renovation rough-in and fit-off for Findon renovation projects, we handle the plumbing side of bathroom, kitchen and laundry work start to finish. A small but genuine saving worth knowing: SA Water estimates a dual-flush toilet saves roughly $36.52 per person per year, and over 11kL of water, compared with an older single-flush model.
Water Filters
Under bench and entire home water filtration options available.
At Old Port Plumbing we can supply and install premium filtration systems the households or businesses. Installing a good filtration system is one of the soundest investments that you could make to your household or business. Whether it be a whole house solution an under-sink solution our professional plumbers have the expertise to install the best.
Taps: Repair, Replacement
Tap repairs and replacement. Fast and reliable repairs to stop your leaking taps, saving water and preventing further damage.
Are you sick of that constant drip drip drip noise coming from your taps. Not only is it annoying but it can also lead to a significant water wastage and increase your water bills. If you leave the issue unattended too it could lead to big problems and costly repairs if not addressed in time. Did you know that a single tap dripping can waste approximately 20,000 litres of water every year that's not only water going down the drain that's your money as well. Stop ignoring those drips and contact us at Old Port Plumbing for a quick reliable tap repairs in the Adelaide.

Our response time is quick; we will arrive on time and offer same-day service across all Adelaide metro suburbs.
Common Plumbing Issues in Findon
Findon sits on reactive clay soils that expand and contract noticeably with the seasons, and that movement is the leading cause of drainage problems across the suburb. We see more clay-soil drainage failures in Findon during the transition from late summer into early autumn than at any other time of year, as the ground dries out, shrinks, and pulls on buried drainage runs, often cracking joints that were sitting perfectly fine over winter. Findon's housing stock spans everything from post-war homes to more recent infill development, so the plumbing age and condition varies significantly from property to property, and older laundry and bathroom rough-ins are a common issue we uncover during renovation work.
Because the soil movement is an ongoing, seasonal factor rather than a one-off event, drainage repairs in Findon need bedding and jointing methods that can flex with the ground rather than a rigid fix that's likely to fail again within a year or two.

No call-out fee during weekday business hours. We'll visit your Findon property, assess the issue, and provide a quote with no upfront attendance charge.
Findon's reactive clay soils shrink and swell with seasonal moisture changes, putting ongoing strain on buried drainage joints. We typically see the most failures as the ground dries out from late summer into early autumn. Using flexible bedding materials and appropriate jointing when we repair or replace a line reduces the chance of it cracking again.
Older laundry and bathroom rough-ins are a common find during Findon renovations, particularly in post-war housing stock. It's worth having these inspected before work starts so any upgrades can be planned into the renovation rather than discovered as a surprise partway through.
We prioritise genuine emergencies — burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer overflow, or no water. Call 08 8102 1555 any time; after-hours calls are returned as soon as we're able.
We install and service all major hot water brands — Rinnai, Rheem, Bosch, Dux, Chromagen, Thermann, Vulcan and AquaMax — plus tapware brands including Caroma, Methven, Dorf and Grohe. We service all major brands, not just the stock we supply.
