Blackwood took shape as a railway suburb after the station opened in 1883, with the earliest cottages and stone homes clustered around the five-ways and the Main Road shopping village. Successive waves of detached housing filled in through the interwar period and again across the post-war decades, leaving a mixed-era streetscape of late-19th and early-20th century homes alongside mid-century brick and brick-veneer builds on larger leafy blocks.
That history shows up in four issues we see week in and week out. The older homes near Main Road and Young Street were originally plumbed in galvanised steel for hot and cold water, and any unreplaced sections are now well past service life and prone to pinhole leaks and rust-restricted flow. Earthenware clay drainage on the older allotments cracks at the joints and admits roots from generations of mature eucalypts, with recurring blockages and partial collapses common across streets like Coromandel Parade and Shepherds Hill Road.
Slope drainage is the other constant. Sitting in the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges with creeks and gullies cutting through the suburb, properties around Trevor Terrace and Craigburn Road often need stormwater falls, downpipes and surface drains set carefully to keep hillside runoff moving away from foundations. Many mid-century homes also still run gas appliances connected through their original-era fittings, which need checking and updating as units reach end of life.
Our team has worked across the City of Mitcham for a decade and knows the local patterns, the housing stock and the streets.

Once you approve the price our team gets straight to the work, using drop sheets and floor protection where needed so your home is not left a mess once we finish up.
Before we leave your property the finished work is tested, you get walked through what was done and why, and the job is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.
