What we do in McDowall

In McDowall’s brick-and-tile homes, copper pipe usually runs through the roof space and drops down inside the cavity walls. Sections are isolated and pressure tested to pin down a hidden leak before deciding whether to repair in place or reroute through the ceiling. Bathrooms of this era often keep their original vanities and cisterns, which makes a staged upgrade a sensible option.

Plenty of McDowall jobs are small but annoying: a toilet that won’t stop running, low pressure at one tap, or a hot water relief valve that keeps dripping.
