Marleston is a centrally located inner-southwestern suburb just minutes from the CBD and Adelaide Airport. The area features a mix of older stone-fronted homes, 1960s brick houses, light commercial buildings, and modern townhouse redevelopments. Its proximity to South Road, Richmond Road, and Sir Donald Bradman Drive means both residential and business premises often experience plumbing issues from aging infrastructure, vibration damage, and high-use fixtures.
At Deadshort Services, we’ve been delivering professional plumbing solutions to Marleston and surrounding suburbs for over 35 years. Our fully licensed plumbers are backed by in-house experts in gas, electrical, roofing, and maintenance—so your job is completed efficiently and to South Australian standards.
Same-Day Plumbing Support in Marleston
From leaking pipes and blocked drains to hot water failures and gas emergencies, our Marleston plumbers offer prompt same-day service and 24/7 emergency support for homes and businesses.
Toilet issues in Marleston’s mix of older and newer properties can range from worn-out fittings to blockages caused by high-use rental or commercial setups. Common problems include leaking cisterns, continuous running, weak flushing, base leaks, and full clogs.
Deadshort Services provides complete toilet plumbing services. We repair and replace cisterns, valves, and pans, reseat toilets, and clear blockages quickly. We also install modern dual-flush systems, bidets (standard inclusion), wall-hung toilets, and concealed cisterns. With in-house carpenters and tilers, every installation is neat, durable, and compliant with South Australian plumbing standards. Backed by over 35 years of experience, we deliver long-term reliability and water efficiency.
With a combination of older dwellings and new developments, Marleston homes and businesses rely heavily on gas for cooking, heating, and hot water. Over time, corrosion or ground movement can compromise fittings and pipework, creating safety risks that require licensed attention.
Deadshort Services provides comprehensive gas fitting services in Marleston. Our licensed gas fitters perform leak detection using precision testing equipment, along with new line installations, appliance connections (cooktops, ovens, heaters, BBQs), urgent repairs, and compliance certification. We also service and install gas continuous-flow hot water systems from leading brands. With over 35 years of experience and in-house multi-trade support, you can count on us for safe, efficient, and fully compliant gas work.
Reliable hot water is essential in both homes and small businesses across Marleston. Many older houses still use inefficient storage tanks, while new apartments and commercial premises rely on continuous-flow or solar systems that require regular servicing.
Deadshort Services repairs, installs, and services all major hot water systems, including:
Gas continuous-flow systems (Rinnai, Rheem).
Electric storage tanks (Dux, Thermann, Vulcan).
Solar systems (Apricus, Solahart).
Heat pumps (Stiebel Eltron, Sanden).
We provide same-day hot water repairs, preventative maintenance, and system upgrades to improve performance and efficiency. With 24/7 emergency response and in-house gas, electrical, and roofing trades (for roof-mounted solar units), Marleston residents and business owners can rely on Deadshort Services for complete, compliant hot water solutions.
Older clay and concrete drains, combined with heavy traffic vibrations and tree root intrusion, make blocked drains a common problem in Marleston. Commercial kitchens and rental properties also experience frequent grease, food, and hair build-ups. If left untreated, blockages can cause flooding, odours, pests, and even foundation damage.
Deadshort Services offers a complete blocked-drain service. We use CCTV camera inspections to identify the exact cause and high-pressure hydro-jet cleaning to clear the blockage thoroughly. For cracked or repeatedly blocked drains, we provide pipe relining—a trenchless, no-dig solution that seals and strengthens the pipe internally. We also service stormwater drains to protect homes and businesses during heavy rains. With 35+ years of experience and full in-house stormwater and roofing trades, our drainage solutions are reliable and built to last.
Marleston’s older drains and compact blocks make excavation for pipe replacement disruptive and costly. Heavy vehicle traffic and mature trees contribute to cracking, displacement, and root intrusion.
Deadshort Services provides trenchless pipe relining as a modern, no-dig repair solution. After a CCTV drain inspection, we insert a resin-coated liner into the damaged section, which hardens to form a smooth, watertight “pipe within a pipe.” This method restores flow, strengthens the structure, and prevents future intrusion. Suitable for clay, concrete, cast iron, and PVC pipes, pipe relining is faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than excavation. With 35+ years of experience and in-house sto
In Marleston, plumbing emergencies can strike homes, rentals, and commercial premises alike—burst pipes, overflowing toilets, gas leaks, or sudden hot water failures can cause costly downtime or damage.
