Six common Granville plumbing problems: (1) Federation lead-solder cottage joints failing on 1900s–1920s stock (Boundary Road, Blaxcell Street, William Street, Bridge Street) — drinking water lead risk; (2) Pre-1960 terracotta sewer collapse and root intrusion across the entire suburb; (3) Clyde–Camellia industrial trade waste compliance — undersize arrestors at engineering shops, food manufacturing and panel beaters; (4) M4 corridor stormwater cross-connections — illegal sewer-to-stormwater hookups dating from 1960s soakage pit conversions; (5) Multicultural commercial grease trap undersize along South Street, William Street; (6) Aged copper hot water in 1960s–70s walk-up flat blocks behind Granville Station. See the common Granville problems section above for the full six.

Often yes. Granville's Federation and Edwardian housing stock from 1900–1925 (concentrated along Boundary Road, William Street, Blaxcell Street, Bridge Street, Diamond Avenue) was plumbed with copper supply joined using lead-tin solder until the practice was banned in 1989. Lead leaches from joints into first-draw drinking water — a particular concern for households with young children or pregnant women. NSW Health screening test costs around $80–$120; positive results indicate immediate remediation need. Section re-pipe to PEX or lead-free copper: $4,500–$10,500 per wet area, $14,000–$28,000 for whole-house. Best done in two stages so house remains liveable.

CCTV inspection $280–$540 with report and video.

Pipe relining (trenchless) $380–$560 per linear metre — the preferred fix in narrow Federation blocks to save established gardens and avoid heritage-overlay constraints.

Yes. Gas work in Granville requires a separate NSW Gas Licence in addition to the standard Plumbing & Drainage contractor licence. All gas work must comply with AS/NZS 5601 Gas Installations. Gas cooktop, oven, heater, bayonet fittings, pipe runs, meter connections all require licensed gas work and a Gas Certificate of Compliance. DIY gas work is illegal in NSW and carries fines up to $55,000. Granville has full natural gas reticulation; many Federation cottages still run aged 1970s–80s copper gas lines that need pressure-test verification before adding new appliances. Commercial-gas endorsement needed for Clyde industrial, food manufacturing and restaurant strip work. If you smell gas: evacuate, call 131 909 (Jemena Gas Emergency) first, then a licensed gas plumber once it's safe.
