Plumber Annandale

Our licensed plumbers work across Annandale's mix of heritage terrace homes, post-war brick properties, and modern renovations. Properties built in the Federation and Victorian eras often have original terracotta sewer lines and galvanised steel water pipes, while homes from the 1970s onwards typically use copper and early PVC. We've completed hundreds of jobs across the Inner West, from clearing root-affected drains to replacing aging hot water systems, so we know what to expect when we arrive.

All attending technicians are licensed in NSW for plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting, and we carry current Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance. Police and background checks are completed for all technicians. We arrive in uniform, confirm identity at the door, and explain what we're doing before starting work. Drop sheets and boot covers are used to protect floors and finished surfaces, and we clean up the work area before leaving.

From suburbs across Sydney to the narrow streets around Booth Street in Annandale, we schedule around access constraints like restricted parking and strata booking windows when disclosed. If there's an urgent safety risk like an active leak or gas smell, we can provide brief safety guidance by phone while the plumber is on the way, without asking you to diagnose the fault.

When a drain backs up in Annandale, the usual suspects are tree roots in older terracotta lines, grease buildup in kitchen waste pipes, or a combination of soap residue and hair in bathroom drains. We start with a high-definition CCTV drain CCTV inspection to identify the blockage type, depth, and exact location within your property boundary. This avoids guesswork and unnecessary digging.

Once the obstruction is located, we clear it using high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting), which fires water at pressures between 3,000 and 5,000 PSI to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls. For metal or plastic foreign objects, a mechanical electric eel may be used instead. If the camera reveals structural damage like a collapsed section or severe root intrusion, we explain the repair options, including trenchless pipe lining, and provide a quote for the additional work.

Our blocked drain service includes a post-clearance camera check to verify flow is restored and the line is clear. We also offer leak detection using electronic ultrasonic equipment to find hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs before they cause major damage. Regular inspections can catch minor issues early, reducing the chance of emergency callouts.

When hot water runs out faster than expected or the temperature fluctuates, it usually indicates a failing heating element, sediment buildup in the tank, or a faulty thermostat. In older storage systems, rust-coloured water in the morning often signals a corroded sacrificial anode rod or internal tank deterioration. Gas continuous flow systems can lose efficiency due to burner scaling or pressure issues.

We service and repair all major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai, for electric storage, gas continuous flow, and heat pump systems. The assessment includes checking the heating elements or gas burners, testing water temperature at the tap, inspecting for visible leaks, and confirming the pressure relief valve is functioning. If the system is beyond economical repair, we explain replacement options and provide same-day installation where stock is available.

All hot water installations are completed by licensed plumbers in compliance with AS/NZS 3500 standards. This includes mandatory Tempering Valves to limit tap temperature to 50°C and prevent scalding, and Pressure Relief Valves to prevent tank over-pressurisation. We provide manufacturer warranties on all hardware and our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the installation workmanship. If you're unsure whether your system needs replacing, we can assess it and explain your options without obligation.

Gutters clogged with leaves and debris cause water to overflow and pool around foundations, leading to damp problems, fascia rot, and internal leaks. In properties with large established trees, leaf litter accumulates quickly, especially after storms. Rust, poor installation, and natural wear also compromise gutter function over time.

We provide gutter and roof repair services including clearing blockages, repairing leaks, and replacing damaged sections. Gutter installations are completed by licensed plumbers and tested to confirm proper water flow and secure mounting. If downpipes are undersized or poorly positioned, we explain how that affects drainage and provide options to improve stormwater management.

Our team is available seven days a week, including public holidays, for urgent and routine gutter work. We can provide an obligation-free quote after assessing the site, and all work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Toilet issues range from a leaking cistern and a always running flush to a cracked bowl or a blocked waste line. A running toilet wastes water continuously, often due to a worn flapper valve or faulty fill valve. A blocked toilet can be caused by excessive paper, foreign objects, or a restriction further down the sewer line.

We handle all aspects of toilet repairs and installations, from replacing internal cistern components to removing blockages and installing complete new toilet suites. If the blockage is in the main sewer line rather than the toilet itself, we use a CCTV camera to locate it and explain the clearance process.

New toilet installations include secure mounting, correct waste connection to Australian Standards, and testing to confirm proper flush function and no leaks. We can also advise on water-efficient models and dual-flush systems that reduce ongoing water consumption. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty and manufacturer warranties on hardware.
