The Georges River runs along the edge of Hammondville, and the humidity that comes off it is quietly hard on shutter mechanisms. Motor housings and bearings in the streets closest to the water pick up moisture that never really clears, and corrosion starts inside the unit rather than on the surface where you would see it.
We cover Hammondville in the 2170 postcode along with Moorebank, Voyager Point, Wattle Grove and the Holsworthy side. The riverfront streets are worth checking more often than the rest, so mention where you are when you call and we will factor it in.
Hammondville housing is mostly single storey brick from the middle of last century through to more recent rebuilds, on quiet streets with a good deal of established tree cover. That combination gives us damp and debris in roughly equal measure.
If you are on one of the streets nearest the river, a shutter service every couple of years is worth far more here than it is a few kilometres inland. What we are looking for is moisture getting somewhere it should not be, and that is much easier to deal with early. Drainage at the bottom rail, the condition of the seals and the state of the motor housing are the three things we check first on a riverside job.
