What was mostly farmland in the 1980s is now a thriving suburb of 1990s-2000s homes, modern townhouse developments, and apartment complexes. It looks modern and well-built — but Albany has a hidden plumbing problem that's catching homeowners off guard: polybutylene pipes.
Homes built in Albany during the 1990s were plumbed with poly-B — a grey plastic pipe that was the industry standard at the time. The problem? It degrades and splits without warning. One day everything's fine, the next you've got water pouring through the ceiling. If your Albany home is from this era, it's worth getting checked.
Water & Gas Worx handles the full range — poly-B replacement, gasfitting, hot water systems, drainage, and new build plumbing. Plumbing AND gas. Water & Gas Worx — the clue's in the name.
Grey polybutylene pipes from the 1990s are a ticking time bomb. We inspect, identify, and replace with modern PEX or copper before they split and flood your home.
Albany homes are built for gas. Hobs, califonts, gas fireplaces, bayonet points, outdoor heating — installed, serviced, and certified. Compliance certs on the spot.
Electric cylinders, gas califonts, or continuous flow — we match the system to your home and household size. Upgrades, replacements, and new installs.
Even newer homes get blocked drains — construction debris left in pipes, settling ground shifting pipe alignments, tree roots finding their way in. We clear and camera inspect.
Albany is still growing. Full plumbing and gas rough-in for new residential builds, plus sorting the builder defects that new homes sometimes throw up.
Mixer taps, toilet cisterns, tempering valves, water pressure issues — the everyday plumbing that every home needs sorted eventually. Quick, clean, done right.
