“Called Dowell plumbing out after my hotwater sprung a leak, he explained options with me clearly and went over pros and cons, pricing was upfront and honest. Very happy with the work that has been done, I will be using Dowell plumbing in future.”

Louis Morris Google

“I was recommended Dowell Plumbing (Ash) in my local suburb community Facebook group, and honestly I’m so glad I reached out. I’d already spoken to another plumber who gave me a pretty ridiculous quote for my bathroom and price which left me feeling like I was being scammed. Ash came out, had a proper look at everything and actually took the time to explain and show me what needed to be done and what didn’t. There was no pressure or trying to add unnecessary things. Not to mention his price was very reasonable and confirmed the other quote I had received was trying to scam me. He was very friendly, professional, time efficient and did an amazing job. Definitely understand now why so many people recommended him! Would happily use Ash again and will be recommending him to all my friends and family”

How much does a new hot water system cost in Adelaide?
A new hot water system starts from $1,500 supplied and installed for a standard replacement. The final price depends on the system you choose, its size, access and the installation requirements. Gas systems, heat pumps, larger units and more complex installations may cost more. We’ll assess your existing system, explain the options clearly and provide an upfront quote before any work begins. If a repair is a better option, we’ll tell you honestly and explain what needs to be done, why it’s needed and what it will cost.

Most standard blocked drain jobs start from $220. During business hours, we’ll assess the problem and provide a clear quote before any work begins, with no obligation to proceed. Every paid blocked drain job includes an camera check at no extra cost, so we can identify what’s causing the problem rather than simply clearing the symptoms.
