Best Plumber Highbury – Fast, Licensed & Backed by Multi-Trade Support
Highbury sits at the edge of Adelaide’s foothills, with a mix of older brick homes, 1970s–80s family houses, and newer developments. The suburb’s location near the River Torrens and Linear Park also means stormwater and drainage issues can be more common. Plumbing problems here often range from blocked stormwater drains and leaking toilets to urgent hot water failures. Residents of Highbury value fast, professional service that can keep homes safe and functional.
At Deadshort Services, we’ve been serving Highbury and Adelaide’s northeast for over 35 years. Our licensed plumbers are supported by in-house trades across gas, electrical, roofing, and general maintenance—ensuring your job is completed efficiently without delays from subcontractors.

Highbury Plumber
Toilet Repairs
Toilet Plumber in Highbury
Toilets are among the most used fixtures in every home, and when they fail, the disruption is immediate. In Highbury, older homes often have cisterns or pans that are cracked or worn, while newer properties require dual-flush upgrades or the installation of bidets. Common problems include cisterns that won’t stop running, weak flushing, noisy refills, leaks at the base, and complete blockages.
Deadshort Services provides expert toilet plumbing across Highbury. Our services cover inlet and outlet valve repairs, cistern servicing, reseating loose toilets, unclogging blockages, and full replacements. We also install dual-flush systems, bidets (standard inclusion), wall-hung toilets, and concealed cistern units. With in-house carpenters and tilers, we leave your bathroom looking clean and professional. Backed by 35+ years of experience, we complete every job to South Australian plumbing standards.
Gas Fitter in Highbury
Gas fitting in Highbury covers everything from maintaining older underground lines in established homes to installing new gas appliances in modern builds. Many properties rely heavily on gas for hot water, heating, and cooking, making safe servicing essential. Even a minor leak can be hazardous, so any odour of gas must be treated as an emergency.
Deadshort Services has over 35 years of experience as licensed gas fitters in Adelaide’s northeast. We provide gas leak detection with advanced equipment, urgent repairs, full pipe replacements, and pressure testing to keep homes safe. Our team also installs and connects gas hot water systems, ovens, cooktops, BBQ points, and outdoor heating. We complete compliance checks and certification to South Australian standards, giving Highbury residents confidence in every job. With our in-house trades, we can coordinate gas works alongside plumbing, electrical, and roofing where needed.
Gas Appliance Repairs
Hot Water Repairs
Hot Water Plumber in Highbury
Hot water issues are disruptive for households in Highbury, whether it’s a failed storage tank, a solar booster not working, or a sudden breakdown of a continuous flow unit. Larger family homes in the area also place high daily demand on their systems.
Deadshort Services repairs, replaces, and installs all types of hot water units, including:
-
Gas continuous flow systems (Rinnai, Rheem).
-
Electric storage tanks (Dux, Thermann, Vulcan).
-
Solar hot water systems (Apricus, Solahart) with booster options.

We provide same-day hot water repairs, preventative servicing, and full efficiency upgrades to reduce running costs. With 24/7 emergency support and full in-house trades for gas, electrical, and roofing (for roof-mounted and solar systems), Highbury residents can rely on us for complete hot water solutions backed by trusted brands.
Blocked Drain Plumber in Highbury
Blocked drains are a common headache in Highbury due to tree roots from large gardens, cracked or collapsed clay pipes, and heavy stormwater run-off from nearby hills and the River Torrens. Indoors, blockages often occur from grease, food waste, or hair, leading to slow drainage, odours, and in severe cases, flooding. Ignoring these issues can cause health hazards, property damage, and expensive repairs.
At Deadshort Services, our blocked drain experts use CCTV drain cameras to pinpoint the cause and hydro-jet technology to clear blockages quickly and safely. For recurring issues, we provide pipe relining to create a long-term fix without excavation. We also repair and maintain stormwater drainage systems, helping Highbury homes cope with heavy rainfall. With more than 35 years of experience and in-house trades for roofing, stormwater, and maintenance, we deliver permanent drainage solutions—not just temporary relief.
Block Drain Plumber
Pipe Re-lining
Pipe Relining Plumber in Highbury
Many Highbury homes still rely on older clay or concrete pipe systems, which are vulnerable to cracks, displacement, and tree root intrusion. With the added pressure of stormwater in foothills terrain, these issues often lead to recurring blockages and leaks. Traditional replacement methods require disruptive excavation through gardens, driveways, or retaining walls.
Deadshort Services provides modern trenchless pipe relining as a cost-effective, no-dig solution. Following a CCTV inspection, we insert a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe, which cures in place to form a strong, watertight “pipe within a pipe.” This seamless lining restores structural integrity, blocks root intrusion, and works on clay, concrete, cast iron, and PVC drains. It’s faster, cleaner, and longer lasting than excavation, making it ideal for Highbury’s established properties. With over 35 years of expertise and in-house trades for stormwater and maintenance, we deliver durable repairs with minimal disruption.
