Scarborough is Perth's iconic beachfront suburb, built around the Scarborough Beach foreshore redevelopment and The Esplanade, with older beachfront homes and apartments sitting alongside newer builds closer to the town centre. Whatever the age of your property, the hot water system eventually needs replacing.
Worth knowing if you live here: homes near the coast cop extra salt air exposure, and that salt-laden air can accelerate corrosion on tanks and fittings. It's common for hot water systems in beachfront Scarborough properties to fail a few years earlier than the same unit would inland. Rust around the base or a slow weep at a fitting is worth acting on early.
Gecko Plumbing is based nearby and regularly works across Scarborough, Doubleview, Trigg and Karrinyup. Glenn knows the local conditions, carries common replacement units on the van, and can often complete a full changeover the same day you call.
System types we replace
Most Scarborough homes run either a gas storage system or an older electric unit, though coastal properties sometimes benefit from a different setup. Here's what we can help with:
