Klemzig

A river suburb with an 1838 start

Klemzig was settled in 1838 by German Lutheran migrants on land bordering the River Torrens. It was renamed Gaza in 1917 and took back its original name in 1935. The Housing Trust built some of its prefabricated timber houses here between 1950 and 1954, and many were rented out. Torrens Linear Park and the O-Bahn now run along the southern side. In 2021, 68% of 2,718 occupied homes were separate houses, 14.2% semi-detached or townhouses and 17.4% flats.

That makes Klemzig a suburb of mixed drains: earthenware or early PVC under 1950s Trust homes, newer PVC under later units, and shared lines wherever homes are grouped. River red gums and blue gums grow along the Torrens banks, and big trees anywhere send roots towards water in old joints. With 41% of homes rented, we often work for landlords who want a clear diagnosis and a quote.

  • In townhouses and flats, find out where the shared drain line runs and where its access points are, before the day it blocks.
  • Near the Linear Park, leaves blow into gutters and stormwater pits. Clear them before the winter rain.
  • Tenants: a bubbling outside gully, or a toilet that rises when the washing machine empties, is worth reporting to your property manager straight away.
