Choosing the right service

If water is not going down, start with blocked drains. If water is coming out somewhere it should not, start with burst pipes and leaks. If there is no hot water, start with hot water systems. If you can smell gas, stop reading, turn the gas off at the meter and call us.
Yes. Luke and Zach do the plumbing, drainage and gas work. For jobs that need a licensed trade we do not hold, an excavator operator or a tiler on a bathroom for example, we bring in people we have worked with before and we stay responsible for the plumbing.
Usually, yes. A lot of plumbing starts as one thing and turns into another. A blocked drain becomes a camera inspection, then a relining job. We will tell you when the job changes and what that means for the price before we keep going.
Both. The older Federation and interwar homes on the North Shore, the 1960s to 80s brick homes through Baulkham Hills and Castle Hill, the fibro beach cottages, and the new slab-on-ground estates out at Box Hill and The Ponds. The problems are different in each and so is the fix.
We do not do appliance repairs that are not plumbing or gas, and we will not touch Sydney Water's own mains. If your problem is on their side of the connection we will tell you and point you at them, because that work is theirs to pay for, not yours.

How to work out which plumber you need

Most people search for a plumber using the symptom, not the trade term. That is the sensible way to do it, so here is the translation.

Water is not draining

One slow fixture is usually a blocked drain local to that fixture. More than one slow fixture, or water rising in the gully outside, points at the main line. When it keeps coming back, the answer is a camera inspection to find out why, then either jet blasting to clean the line properly or relining to fix the pipe itself.

Water is going where it should not

A wet patch that will not dry, a water bill that has jumped, or the sound of running water with everything turned off, all mean a leak. Water coming through a ceiling after rain is more likely roof plumbing or gutters. Water pooling against the house or a yard that will not drain is stormwater.

Something has stopped working

No hot water, not enough of it, or rusty water is hot water. A dripping tap or a cistern running all night is taps and toilets, and it is worth fixing sooner than most people do because it goes straight onto the water bill.

Gas

Anything involving gas is gas fitting and it has to be done by a licensed gasfitter with a certificate at the end. If you can smell gas right now, turn it off at the meter, open the doors and windows, do not touch light switches, and call us.

It is a building, not a house

Strata managers and building managers want strata plumbing, where the question of lot versus common property matters as much as the pipe. Shops, offices and warehouses want commercial plumbing, usually scheduled around trading hours.

You are on acreage

If your block is unsewered, waste goes to a septic tank or treatment system rather than Sydney Water's sewer, and it needs looking after on a schedule. If your water comes from a tank, that is tanks and pumps.

Still not sure?

Describe the problem in your own words and we will work out what it is. Call for anything urgent, or send the form and you will hear back within 12 hours.
