Glenelg East
Bungalows, quarter-acres and townhouses
Glenelg East lies 9 km south-west of the city, along the Glenelg tram line. Helmsdale was subdivided in 1911, and land in Dunleath was released in 1925-26 and again in 1946. Interwar Tudor Revival and Californian Bungalow homes are the most common heritage styles, alongside Victorian and Federation houses on quarter-acre blocks. In 2021, 43.7% of homes were semi-detached or townhouses, and 32% were rented.
Bungalows from the 1920s to 1940s commonly drain through earthenware pipe, now 80 to 100 years old, with a joint every short length for roots to find. Townhouses and units often tie into shared lines. Adelaide's reactive clay swells in winter and shrinks in summer, cracking old rigid pipe. With a third of homes rented, landlords here want a clear answer and a quote, and that's what we give.
- On an interwar bungalow, the overflow gully is usually in the backyard near the kitchen, laundry or bathroom. Keep it uncovered so you see an overflow early.
- Old earthenware and wipes don't mix. Even wipes sold as flushable catch on root-filled joints and build into a blockage.
- Property managers: send us the owner who approves the work and the tenant's number, and tell us whether other units share the drain.
