Frewville

Small suburb, old boundaries

Frewville is small: 896 people in 367 homes at the 2021 Census, in a triangle 3 km south-east of the city between Flemington Street, Conyngham Street and Glen Osmond Road. A village was laid out here in 1854, on land the early colonists used to graze horses, and in 1881 most of it was cut into the property boundaries that still exist. More than a third of its homes are semi-detached or townhouses, and nearly a third are rented.

Where a newer home stands on an 1881 lot, its drain may join an older line somewhere under the yard. Semis and townhouses share lines, so a blockage can belong to two households at once. The streets are leafy, and roots find any open joint in earthenware pipe. We clear the drain, show you the inside on camera when it's useful, and repair what's broken.

  • In a semi or townhouse, tell us where your drain meets the neighbour's, if you know. It shows whether the blockage is yours alone.
  • Renting out a Frewville home? When you book, name the owner or manager who signs off the work, and pass on the tenant's number so we can arrange access.
  • Keep the outside overflow gully uncovered. If water rises there, stop running the washing machine and call us.
