Elizabeth North

Pairs and houses between Main North Road and the railway

Elizabeth North was established in the late 1950s as a residential neighbourhood of the planned city of Elizabeth. It is squeezed between Main North Road and the Gawler railway line, with Womma and Broadmeadows stations close by. The Housing Trust built mostly in brick. At the 2021 Census the suburb had 3,588 residents and 1,461 occupied homes, almost evenly split: 49.7% semi-detached and 49.5% separate houses. Two in three had three bedrooms.

Drains laid in the late 1950s are now more than 65 years old, earthenware or early PVC, with joints that roots and Adelaide's shrinking and swelling clay work open. In a pair, the sewer line can serve both homes before it reaches the main, so one side's blockage can surface on the other. With 55.2% of homes rented, we report what we find to the owner or manager and quote the fix.

  • Live in a pair? If your toilet backs up and next door's has too, mention it when you book. It points to the shared line.
  • Landlords: give us the owner or property manager who approves the work and the tenant's contact, and we'll arrange access.
  • Trees along a shared fence line send roots toward both homes' drains. Keep big growers well clear of the sewer run.
