Brighton is one of Adelaide’s most desirable coastal suburbs, famous for its beachfront lifestyle, Jetty Road cafés, Brighton Beach, and Esplanade walks. The area features everything from original 1940s cottages and mid-century family homes to architect-designed redevelopments. Coastal air, sandy soils, and mature trees mean plumbing challenges often include corrosion, blocked drains, and stormwater issues during heavy rains.
At Deadshort Services, we’ve been providing trusted plumbing across Brighton and Adelaide’s southern coastline for over 35 years. Our licensed plumbers are backed by in-house experts in gas, electrical, roofing, and maintenance—ensuring seamless project completion without delays or subcontractors.
Same-Day Plumbing Support in Brighton
Whether it’s a burst pipe, blocked drain, or hot water failure, our Brighton plumbers deliver prompt same-day service and genuine 24/7 emergency response.
Toilet problems can quickly become disruptive, especially in busy family homes or short-stay rentals near the coast. Common issues include leaking cisterns, weak flushing, noisy refills, leaks at the base, and complete blockages.
Deadshort Services provides complete toilet plumbing services throughout Brighton. We repair and replace cisterns, valves, and pans, reseat loose toilets, and clear stubborn blockages. We also install dual-flush toilets, bidets (standard inclusion), wall-hung and concealed-cistern systems for modern bathrooms. Supported by in-house carpenters and tilers, every installation is finished neatly and complies with South Australian plumbing regulations. With 35+ years of experience, we deliver durable and water-efficient toilet solutions suited to coastal living.
Brighton homes range from heritage bungalows to modern coastal builds—each with unique gas needs. Salt air and moisture can accelerate corrosion on fittings and connections, making regular servicing and inspection essential.
Deadshort Services provides complete gas fitting across Brighton. Our licensed gas fitters carry out leak detection using precision testing equipment, perform repairs, new gas line installations, and appliance connections for cooktops, ovens, heaters, and BBQ points. We also install and service gas continuous-flow hot water systems and ensure all work meets South Australian safety and compliance standards. With 35+ years of experience and full in-house trade support, we guarantee safe, efficient gas solutions for every property type—from apartments near the foreshore to family homes east of Brighton Road.
In Brighton’s seaside climate, hot water systems face accelerated wear due to salt and humidity. Many older homes still use inefficient electric tanks, while newer builds rely on gas continuous-flow or solar systems suited to family living.
Deadshort Services repairs, installs, and maintains all major hot water systems, including:
Gas continuous-flow units (Rinnai, Rheem).
Electric storage tanks (Dux, Thermann, Vulcan).
Solar systems (Apricus, Solahart).
Heat pumps (Stiebel Eltron, Sanden).
We offer same-day repairs, preventative servicing, and full system upgrades to improve efficiency and reliability. With 24/7 emergency support and in-house gas, electrical, and roofing trades (for solar or roof-mounted units), Brighton households can trust Deadshort Services for dependable, long-lasting hot water performance.
Blocked drains are a frequent problem in Brighton due to sandy soils, coastal tree roots, and older clay drainage systems. Stormwater drains can also become overloaded during heavy rain, causing flooding near low-lying coastal streets. Indoors, grease, food, and soap scum can build up in kitchen or bathroom drains. Left untreated, these blockages can lead to foul smells, slow flow, flooding, and foundation damage.
Deadshort Services provides advanced drain-clearing solutions using CCTV drain inspections to locate the source of the blockage, followed by hydro-jet cleaning for a thorough clean. For cracked or damaged drains, we offer pipe relining—a trenchless, no-dig repair that restores pipe strength and prevents root intrusion. We also maintain stormwater and gutter systems to protect coastal homes from water damage. With 35+ years of experience and in-house stormwater and roofing specialists, Brighton residents can rely on us for permanent, long-term drainage solutions.
Brighton’s older underground drains often suffer from tree-root intrusion, corrosion, and shifting sandy soil. Excavation for replacement can be expensive and damage established gardens or driveways.
Deadshort Services offers trenchless pipe relining—a modern, no-dig repair solution ideal for coastal suburbs. After a CCTV inspection, we insert a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe, which hardens to create a seamless, watertight “pipe within a pipe.” This method restores flow, seals cracks, and prevents future intrusion. Suitable for clay, concrete, cast iron, and PVC pipes, relining is faster, cleaner, and longer-lasting than traditional replacement. With 35+ years of plumbing expertise and in-house stormwater and maintenance trades, Brighton residents receive durable drainage repairs built to withstand coastal conditions.
Plumbing emergencies in Brighton can strike any time—whether it’s a burst pipe, gas leak, overflowing toilet, or a failed hot water system. In a coastal environment, immediate response is critical to protect homes and prevent damage.
Deadshort Services provides genuine 24/7 emergency plumbing across Brighton. Every call is answered by a licensed tradesman, not a call centre. Our fully stocked vans allow us to handle urgent repairs immediately, day or night. With 35+ years of experience and complete in-house multi-trade support, Brighton residents can rely on Deadshort Services for prompt, professional emergency plumbing whenever it’s needed.
