Plumber South Hurstville

Our process starts with an onsite assessment so we can confirm what's causing the issue and what's required to fix it properly. All attending technicians are properly licensed plumbers in NSW (Licence 305428C), and they arrive in uniform with identification ready if you'd like to confirm who's at the door before entry. We explain what we're doing in plain English before starting, and if the job involves accessing private areas or moving through finished spaces, we use protective floor coverings and keep the work area isolated where practical.

Once the scope is confirmed, we provide a fixed-price quote before any work begins. That price covers the job as described, not an hourly rate that can climb as the work continues. You decide whether to proceed once you know what's involved and what it costs. If the initial inspection reveals something outside the original scope, such as structural pipe damage requiring relining instead of clearing, we explain the options and provide a separate quote for that additional work before proceeding. You're not committed to anything beyond what you've agreed to.

After the installation or repair is completed, we verify the outcome before leaving. For drainage work, that means confirming flow is restored and checking there's no remaining restriction. For gas work, it means pressure testing the system and issuing a compliance certificate where required by NSW regulations. For hot water, it means checking temperature and pressure settings and confirming the system is operating as it should. We clean up the work area and remove any debris generated during the job, and we provide documentation suitable for landlords, strata committees, or your own records.

Our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship means we stand by the quality of the work we complete. If an issue arises with something we've repaired or installed, we'll return and make it right. Standard manufacturer warranties apply to hardware and appliances, and we explain what's covered and for how long before you commit to a purchase.

Drainage blockages in South Hurstville properties typically start with tree roots entering microscopic cracks in older terracotta or clay pipes, or with fat and grease buildup in kitchen waste lines that solidifies as it cools and traps debris. The established street trees common in the area, particularly large Ficus and Eucalypts, actively seek moisture, and their fine root systems can penetrate joints and cracks in ageing underground pipes. Once inside, roots expand and create a snag point that catches toilet paper, wipes, and solid waste, eventually causing a full blockage.

We start every clogged drain job with a high-definition CCTV drain CCTV check so we can see exactly what's causing the restriction, where it's located, and what condition the pipe is in. That vision is recorded and can be provided to you if needed for strata records or insurance claims. If the blockage is an accumulation of debris and the pipe structure is sound, we clear it using high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) at 3,000 to 5,000 PSI, which pulverises roots and scours grease from the pipe walls without damaging the line.

If the camera inspection reveals structural damage, such as collapsed sections, severe root intrusion, or pipe bellying that's causing ongoing drainage issues, we explain the options. In many cases, trenchless pipe relining is the preferred solution because it avoids excavating under driveways, pathways, or established gardens. The relining process inserts a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe, which is then inflated and cured to create a smooth, structurally independent pipe within the old one. That approach is faster, less disruptive, and often more cost-effective than full excavation and replacement.

We test flow rates after clearing or relining to confirm the blockage is resolved and the system is draining as it should. If the issue was caused by root intrusion, we explain what's likely to happen over time and what maintenance intervals make sense for that line. All drainage work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Roof and gutter leaks in South Hurstville properties often trace back to blocked or deteriorated guttering, cracked flashing around penetrations like vents and skylights, or failing seals where sections of roof cladding overlap. When gutters fill with leaves and debris from surrounding trees, water backs up and can seep under the roofline or overflow onto walls and foundations. That overflow can cause internal ceiling damage, staining, and even structural issues if it's not addressed.

We use electronic ultrasonic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the source of the intrusion without invasive exploration. That technology identifies moisture behind walls and ceilings, allowing us to locate the entry point and determine what's required to stop the leak permanently. For gutter-related issues, that might mean clearing blockages, resealing joints, or replacing damaged sections. For roof penetrations, it often involves resealing flashing or replacing perished materials that are no longer weathertight.

Once the source is identified and the repair is completed, we verify the fix by checking for residual moisture and confirming the affected area is dry. We explain what caused the leak and what maintenance steps (such as regular gutter clearing) can reduce the likelihood of it recurring. Roof and gutter work is completed to AS/NZS standards where relevant, and all labour is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Toilet faults in South Hurstville properties range from continuous running (where water keeps flowing into the bowl after flushing), weak or incomplete flushing, leaks at the base, or blockages that prevent the toilet from clearing waste properly. A running toilet is usually caused by a worn flapper valve or float mechanism inside the cistern that's no longer sealing correctly, allowing water to trickle constantly into the bowl. That wastes water and increases your bill, and it's usually a straightforward fix once the faulty component is identified.

Leaks at the base of the toilet often indicate a failed wax seal or pan collar that's no longer forming a watertight connection between the toilet and the waste pipe. If left unaddressed, that leak can damage flooring and subfloors, and it creates an unhygienic situation. We remove the toilet, inspect the flange and waste pipe connection, replace the seal, and re-seat the toilet so it's secure and leak-free.

For blockages, we assess whether the restriction is in the toilet trap itself or further down the line. Toilet-specific blockages are often caused by excessive toilet paper, foreign objects, or inappropriate items being flushed. We clear those manually or with specialised tools, and if the blockage is further into the drainage system, we use CCTV inspection to locate it and determine the clearing method. If the toilet is old, inefficient, or damaged beyond economical repair, we provide options for replacement with a modern, water-efficient model that meets current Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) requirements.

All toilet repairs are tested to confirm proper flushing, sealing, and drainage before departing. Work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

A burst or leaking pipe at a South Hurstville property requires immediate attention to stop water damage and reduce the volume of water escaping into walls, ceilings, or subfloors. Bursts often occur at weak points such as corroded sections in older galvanised steel pipes, joints that have been stressed by ground movement, or frozen and expanded copper pipes during unusually cold conditions. Leaks can be slow seeps that show up as damp patches or water staining, or they can be active flows that cause visible pooling and damage.

If an active leak or burst occurs, the starting point is to isolate the water supply. Most properties have a main shutoff valve near the water meter or where the supply enters the building, and turning that off stops water from continuing to escape while you wait for the plumber to arrive. If you're not sure where the shutoff is, we can guide you over the phone when you call. Once a licensed and insured plumber is onsite, we locate the source using visual inspection or electronic ultrasonic leak detection equipment, assess the extent of the damage, and determine whether the affected section can be repaired or needs to be replaced.

For minor leaks in accessible locations, we can often repair the damaged section by cutting out the compromised pipe and installing a new length with compression or soldered joints. For ruptured pipes or extensive corrosion, replacement of the affected run is usually the more reliable solution. If the pipe is hidden behind walls or under slabs, we explain the access requirements and provide a fixed-price quote that includes opening the area, completing the repair, and making good the access point once the work is verified.

After the repair or replacement is completed, we test the system under normal operating pressure to confirm the leak is stopped and there's no residual damage to surrounding pipework. All pipe repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

General plumbing in South Hurstville covers the routine maintenance, repairs, and installations that keep a property's water and waste systems functioning reliably. That includes fixing dripping taps, replacing worn tap washers and cartridges, clearing slow drains before they become full blockages, repairing leaking toilet cisterns, replacing faulty overflow relief valves, installing new fixtures, and servicing existing systems to prevent failures.

We approach every job with a full assessment first. Rather than assuming what's wrong based on the symptoms described over the phone, we inspect the affected fixture or system onsite, confirm the cause, and explain what's required to fix it properly. That diagnostic step ensures we're addressing the actual fault, not just the visible symptom, and it allows us to identify related issues that might cause problems later if left unattended.

For installations such as new tapware, sinks, or appliances, we confirm the existing supply lines and waste connections are in good condition and suitable for the new fixture. If upgrades or modifications are needed, such as replacing corroded stop valves or adjusting waste pipe alignments, we include those in the scope and quote so there are no surprises once the work is underway. All installations are completed to AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards, and we test the operation before leaving to confirm everything is sealed, secure, and functioning as expected.

General plumbing work is priced as a fixed quote after the onsite assessment, and all labour is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Commercial plumbing for South Hurstville businesses, retail premises, and industrial sites involves managing larger-scale systems, coordinating work around operating hours, and providing documentation suitable for compliance and maintenance records. We handle commercial kitchen fit-outs, bathroom and amenities installations, sewer and drainage maintenance, grease trap servicing, backflow prevention device testing, gas appliance installations, and emergency repairs that affect business operations.

Commercial work requires clear communication about timing, access, and impact. We schedule non-urgent jobs outside peak trading hours where possible, and we coordinate with site managers or business owners to confirm entry procedures, parking, and work area isolation. For retail or hospitality sites where plumbing downtime affects revenue, we prioritise rapid diagnosis and resolution, and we carry a fully stocked mobile workshop so parts are available onsite without delays.

We provide written documentation for all commercial jobs, including scope of work, test results, compliance certificates where required, and photos of findings or completed installations. That documentation is formatted for maintenance logs, body corporate records, or council submissions, depending on what's needed. For ongoing maintenance contracts or scheduled servicing, we work with your facilities team to set appropriate intervals and keep records of inspections, cleaning, and repairs.

All commercial plumbing work is completed to AS/NZS standards and relevant safety codes, and labour is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.
