How We Earn Your Trust in West Lakes
Co-owners Michael Heinrich and Colin Archer-Bourke set this business up after watching too many Adelaide homeowners get let down by tradies who didn’t show, or who showed up and left a bill bigger than the job. It started with the two of them and one van. It is a team of six now, and the rules they began with haven’t shifted: arrive when we say, give the price before we start, leave the place clean.
In West Lakes, getting it right often means getting it right for more than one person. A townhouse group can share a sewer line, a body corporate may own part of the pipework, and a shop at Woodlake has to keep trading while we work. We explain what we found to everyone who needs to hear it. Every job carries our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee, and that habit is what sits behind more than 260 five-star Google reviews.
We price honestly and we put it in writing. If you’d like to know who you’re letting in before you book, read how Michael and Colin started out.
What Our Plumbers Fix Across West Lakes Homes & Businesses
West Lakes was built on reclaimed wetland from the 1970s. Plenty of homes sit on slabs, power and phone lines were laid underground from the start, and street stormwater drains to the lake. Since then the old Football Park land has filled with townhouses and apartments, while Westfield and Woodlake keep a steady run of commercial work going. These are the jobs homes and businesses here call us for most.
General Plumbing
Worn mixers, dripping cisterns and tired flexi hoses in the original Delfin era bathrooms, plus the first round of repairs on fittings in the newer townhouses.
Blocked Drains
Sewer lines here often run under or beside a slab rather than a timber floor. We locate the blockage, then jet the line clear from $79, T&C's Apply.
Hot Water Repairs & Replacement
A storage unit leaking into the garage, or a townhouse cupboard with barely room to swap the cylinder. We repair and replace hot water systems, then check the relief valve drain before leaving.
Emergency Plumber
A burst pipe on Delfin Island late at night, or a failed stop valve behind a shop on Frederick Road. Someone answers every call, any hour, every day of the year.
Taps & Toilets
Leaking taps, cisterns that keep refilling and toilets that rock on the floor, in houses, townhouse groups and apartments. Where swapping the worn part is the sensible fix, that's what we do.
Leak Detection
On a slab, a leak rarely shows as a puddle. It shows as a meter that keeps ticking or a warm patch in the floor, and we trace where the water is going before concrete gets cut.
Stormwater Drains
Street drains in West Lakes run to a tidal saltwater lake. We clear and repair downpipes, pits and property stormwater lines, and keep the silt and job waste out of the gully.
Backflow Testing
Shopping centre food courts, hotel kitchens and the aged care in the new precinct are the kinds of connections that need a testable backflow device. We fit them and test backflow devices to AS/NZS 3500.
Commercial Plumbing
Westfield West Lakes, Woodlake Shopping Centre, the Mosaic Hotel on Turner Drive and the new precinct on the old stadium land. Food outlets, amenities and guest bathrooms, worked around trading hours, with licensed gas fitters for commercial kitchen appliances.
Real Stories from Satisfied West Lakes Clients

Why West Lakes Homeowners & Businesses Choose Us
We have 260+ five-star Google reviews, and there is very little drama in them. The plumber turned up at the time we gave. The figure on the quote matched the invoice. The bathroom was left tidier than we found it. That is the whole pitch, and we’re content for it to be boring.
West Lakes adds one thing we take seriously, which is how much of the plumbing sits under concrete. Many original homes went onto slabs built for soft reclaimed ground, so we locate a leak or a broken drain with a camera and a proper trace before anyone lifts a paver, then tell you in plain terms what we found. For a shop or a hotel, we book the disruptive part outside trading hours. And if our work ever lets you down, the Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee means we come back and put it right.
Covering West Lakes & the Suburbs Around the Lake
In West Lakes we work everywhere from Delfin Island and the streets off Lochside Drive to the townhouses on the old Football Park land and the shops along Frederick Road. That covers the homes off Turner Drive and Brebner Drive, the streets near Inlet Reserve and the apartments at Island Point. Grange adjoins it to the south, and its beach end is a very different job, with older buildings near the dune instead of slabs on reclaimed ground. Past Grange, we work in Henley Beach as well. To the north, Semaphore and Birkenhead have older housing again and throw up a different set of problems. Every one of them gets the same team and the same way of quoting.
Bigger jobs, such as a replacement hot water system or relaying a stormwater line, don’t need to be paid for in one hit. Ask us about a Humm payment plan when you book. Terms and conditions apply.

What West Lakes Customers Ask Before Booking
Most questions we hear in West Lakes come back to two things: pipes you can’t see because they’re under a slab, and pipes you share with the neighbours. These are the answers we give most often. For anything else, see our FAQs or ring 08 8152 9100 and ask one of the team.
My West Lakes Home Is On A Slab. How Do You Find A Leak You Can't See?
Usually by starting at the meter. With every tap turned off, a meter that keeps moving tells us water is escaping somewhere. From there we isolate sections of pipe and use tracing equipment to narrow it down to one spot before anyone cuts concrete. A lot of the original West Lakes homes were built on slabs designed for reclaimed ground, so this step saves a great deal of unnecessary breaking out. Once we know where it is, you get a fixed price and the repair options.
Who Pays When A Shared Drain Blocks In A Townhouse Group?
That depends on exactly where the blockage sits. A line serving only your home is often your responsibility, while a line shared by several homes can be common property looked after by the strata or community corporation, and the plan for your group is what decides it. We put a camera through the drain, show you where the blockage is, and write it down so the right party gets the bill. Talking to neighbours and body corporate managers on the same job is routine for us.
Where Does The Stormwater From My West Lakes Property End Up?
Across most of the suburb, street drains run into the lake, which swaps seawater with the gulf and the Port River as the tide moves. That’s why we’re careful about what goes into a gully when we clear a downpipe or a stormwater pit. Leaves, silt and job waste leave with us rather than going down the drain. If your stormwater is backing up or pooling, we clear it, check the connection out to the street and repair any broken sections.
Why Won't The Office Give Me A Price Over The Phone?
Because the person answering isn’t a plumber and doesn’t work from a price book. Their job is keeping the team on schedule, getting someone dispatched to you and making sure you’re looked after. Every job gets an upfront quote from the plumber onsite before any work begins, usually with a few options, so you never feel pushed into one. If you’re calling outside regular business hours, a call-out fee may apply, so call our friendly team to check our availability. We’re on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Is There A Plumber Available Tonight In West Lakes?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, public holidays included. For something urgent, like a burst pipe or no water at all, we can typically be there within 60 minutes, and for anything that can safely wait we aim for a same day response. If water is running where it shouldn’t, turn the supply off at the meter first, then call us. PGE #360928 is the business licence; whoever arrives holds a current licence of their own and has passed a police check.
