Plumbing notes for Torquay
- Torquay mixes new estate housing, where a fault is more likely a fitting, with older beach housing, where it may be the pipe itself. Say which you have when you call.
Worth knowing about Torquay
Torquay's measured centre is about 45 m above sea level and 1.3 km from the ocean shore. The ring 250 m out reads 25 to 47 m. Salt spray thins out with distance from breaking surf, and the Galvanizers Association guide to AS 4312 grades corrosivity by that distance, so on the beachfront streets outdoor hot water units, hose taps and exposed copper wear faster than further back. Holiday load is the other factor. A drain that copes with two people in winter may carry a full house in January, and a partial blockage that went unnoticed at low flow can show up then.
