HERE ARE SOME COMMON ISSUES THE PIED PLUMBER CAN HELP YOU WITH:

Toilet trouble

A leaking cistern can, in some situations, lead to significantly high water bills! You might also notice external leaks or drips forming around the toilet bowl or pan. If you’re worried about this, rest assured that every toilet can be isolated using the valve below. We can even take away your outdated toilet and fit the one you’ve always wanted—it’s incredible how much a brand-new toilet installation can transform the overall feel of your bathroom.

Crisis aside, our plumbers are regularly working around Castle Cove and would welcome the opportunity to talk with you!

Shower Complications

From time to time, subtle leaks may surface from hidden joints around your showerhead or tap fixtures. We have the tools to locate them, including thermal imaging devices and shower outlet pressure testing. It’s always a safer bet to examine the plumbing first rather than pay hundreds to reseal a shower or bath, only to discover the issue still lingers.

We take care of replacing worn-out, rusted shower heads with state-of-the-art, multi-function heads and set up adjustable shower-on-a-rail dispensers designed especially for couples with notable height disparities.

Constant Gas Smell

Operating as fully licenced and insured gas fitting professionals in Castle Cove, we know what signs to watch for. An unexpected smell of gas near your gas heater, BBQ, stove, or gas meter—or the presence of a light egg-like odour under your flooring—should not be ignored, as they may indicate a leak.

A gas leak can endanger you and those around you; therefore, you should reach out to us to decide on the best course of action. Our state-of-the-art testing and tracing tools help maintain the safety and efficiency of your kitchen and heating.

Leaking and Burst Pipes

Burst pipes often happen in hard-to-see spots like under concrete, near electric wiring, or deep in your garden, leading to costly water damage and inflated utility bills. That’s why we offer around-the-clock emergency plumbing near Castle Cove, so help is always close by. From fixing floods to swapping out burst pipes, we work efficiently to get things right. The Pied Plumber has repaired everything from leaky hoses under sinks to shattered copper pipes and ruptures near meters or beneath footpaths. We’ll restore your plumbing system with minimal disruption.

No Hot Water Castle Cove Area

Lack of hot water in your home is a common plumbing issue in Castle Cove; call the experts and have it resolved quickly for your family! Hot water leaks can be simple to repair, but they could lead to a hot water unit failure if you leave them too late. In some cases, a faulty hot water tempering device may result in inadequate temperatures around essential wash down fixtures such as showers and sinks. We can service, repair, and install new hot water systems. Our parts are solely sourced at your closest plumbing Reece supplier to ensure all hot water components within your property stands the test of time.

No heat? If your boiler is not heating as it should, contacting the specialists to repair it swiftly is the right choice. We do it all with absolutely no hassle.

Leaking Taps in Castle Cove

A dripping tap will drive the whole family up the wall! From problematic kitchen or hand basin mixer cartridges to the bathroom shower that won’t stop dripping through the night, it’s all part of this well-known plumbing issue. Across Sydney suburbs, worn-out washers are a common culprit behind unexpectedly high quarterly water bills. That’s why The Pied Plumber takes pride in fixing every leak, whether your tap uses a washer or a quarter-turn mechanism, and no matter how old or new it is—we sort it all out.

Blockages With In Household Drains around Castle Cove

A common occurrence for most Sydneysiders. Whether that be a result of children leaving their toys behind or ‘that’ close relative arriving over Christmas, leaving you in a pickle.

Internal blockages within your home often stem from too much grease buildup in kitchen sinks combined with long-haired household members causing shower drains to clog, slow down, or sometimes overflow. Over the past twenty years, The Pied Plumber has amassed considerable expertise tackling these common issues. Whether it’s clearing blocked floor wastes near baths, quickly resolving kitchen drain problems, repairing overflowing laundry tubs, or even extracting hardened cement from shower drains left by previous tradespeople, we handle it all. We make sure to fix your drainage issue thoroughly while also equipping you with tips to avoid future problems.

Let’s be frank: drains seldom look good, and attempting to unblock the ensuite or main bathroom toilet without the help of a professional could result in more harm as time goes on.

Blocked External Drains in Castle Cove

Now and then, and for certain folks more often than others, gurgling may be noticed around drains, mainly in bathrooms and even near sewer overflow zones outside. Quickly addressing these problems is essential as these usual plumbing concerns can be rectified without delay!

Outside sewer blockages are commonly caused by tree roots striving to survive amid Sydney’s ongoing drought conditions. From Castle Cove to Frenches Forest and Mona Vale, mainline clogs are a widespread problem throughout Sydney and nearby locations. Our expertise covers branch line blockages, boundary traps, and shaft troubles. The Pied Plumber employs advanced CCTV drain inspection alongside high-pressure jet blasting equipment to detect, pinpoint, and clear blockages, restoring full functionality to your drainage wastewater system.

It applies equally to stormwater drains failing to cope with heavy rainfalls. If your downpipes back up around pits and your strip drains overflow, we’ll ensure you’re back in action in no time and properly investigate the cause to stop future issues.

A burst or leaking pipe, alongside a clogged or faulty sewer, can halt your home’s normal functioning and cause a host of issues. If your toilet, bathroom, bath, or sinks are flooded, blocked, or damaged, we treat all drain repairs as an emergency. Our plumbers in Castle Cove will be there as soon as possible to unblock, Jet-Blast, and clear your overflowing drains!

If a blocked drain caused by tree roots or paper is your concern, your first option is to get in touch with one of our specialists. Our after-hours emergency plumbing service will assist you in understanding the most common reasons for drain blockages. When our team shows up, they will identify and fix the blockage and confirm your drains comply with installation standards to prevent future blockages.

Emergency Castle Cove Plumber:

We understand that plumbing problems don’t just arise during daylight hours; frequently, they occur after work, especially when you’re about to take a shower or use the toilet. Our plumbing experts are ready to help you and your family 24/7. So whenever you face a plumbing issue in Sydney, our emergency response team is on hand to assist, regardless if it’s late at night or early in the morning.

What To do In an After-Hours Castle Cove Plumbing Emergency:

Stay relaxed; assistance is just a phone call away. Emergencies tend to be apparent, but your safety might not always be obvious. Stop for a few seconds to notice flood-prone zones, watch for any electrical risks, and if water is near your storage hot water service, turn OFF the electrical hot water circuit immediately! The hot water circuit should be clearly labeled as “HWS,” “HOT WATER,” or “HW” within your electrical meter box.

So, you’ve isolated your supplies and are about to call The Pied Plumber:

Although we carry wet vacuums and cleaning supplies, we consider these only part of our emergency response package. Keeping old towels on hand during emergencies is vital and will undoubtedly limit the damage inside your home. If plumbing issues occur beneath a hand basin, toilet, or sink, chipboard cupboards and shelves can swell and cause permanent damage. Never use hot air fans to try to fix the problem, as this will escalate damage before we get there. Trust us to manage your plumbing emergency efficiently!

What do I do if a pipe bursts in my toilet, kitchen, laundry or ensuite?

  • Simply asking to pause won’t resolve burst lines in most cases. Before we attend, attempt to locate your water meter and, if practicable, identify whether it’s hot or cold water causing the leak—this tells you what to isolate. If nothing is done, the water meter will deplete all supplies.
  • When phoning from a household in Castle Cove, your water meter is likely located out front, facing the street and in line with your garden tap. To shut the water off, turn the meter tap clockwise. Then, open up your outdoor hose tap to check if the water supply is indeed ‘OFF’. Doing this also helps clear any remaining water in the home’s supply line by letting it discharge safely outside.
  • If you’re dealing with a plumbing emergency in a unit block in Castle Cove, your unit isolation valve is generally located beneath the kitchen sink or near the laundry tub area. As the final placement of common property isolation valves lacks a defined regulatory guideline, The Pied Plumber strongly recommends that unit owners always be mindful of this component’s location.

What Our Customers Say About Us

PLUMBING TROUBLESHOOTING

A shower is just one example. Technically, any hot water fixture can suffer from this. You might get hot water instantly on one end of the home, but at the other end, it seems broken.

The issue typically lies in the pipe size and how far the hot water travels. The greater the distance from the heater to the fixture, the more time and heat loss occurs. Even your local climate can influence how quickly water loses its heat.

When hot water systems suffer from poor pressure, it really amplifies the problem. The good news? We usually find a way to fix or greatly improve the issue.

Not necessarily. Most ceramic cisterns support genuine and aftermarket repairs. But if yours is a plastic model needing more than inlet and outlet rubbers, replacing it is often more practical.

We’ll evaluate the cistern’s age, type, and suite pairing to ensure you get sound, well-informed advice.

No, not usually. Vitreous ceramic cisterns typically support repairs using either original or universal components. If the unit is plastic and the fix involves more than rubber seals, replacement might be the best route.

We take time to review the age, brand, and suite combination so you can make a fully informed decision.

At The Pied Plumber, we get that trying to lower your water bills in Sydney is crucial when families are dealing with tough economic times.

Don’t stress! You can bring those water bills down—whether it’s installing water-efficient appliances or fixing sneaky leaks quickly. You’ll save cash and help conserve precious water, which is vital during drought seasons.

Here are five ways to save on your Sydney water bills:

  1. Toilet leaks: Add some food colouring to the cistern. If colour shows in the bowl after 30 mins, it’s leaking.
  2. Dual flush cistern: Save up to 5 litres per flush—thousands of litres annually!
  3. Fixture flow check: Our family plumbers check flow rates on taps and showers and install water restrictors to help you cut costs.
  4. Leaking taps: Indoor or outdoor, drips waste water fast. Fixing them promptly reduces bills.
  5. Underground leaks: If your bill’s jumped and you can’t find a reason, it could be a hidden main leak. We use electronic equipment to find and fix it fast.

Bonus Tip: Claim back charges for hidden leaks

If you’ve had an underground leak and acted fast, we’ll issue a water leak claim form after repairs. You can submit this to Sydney Water and possibly recover extra charges.

Need help? Call us on 1300 13 80 80.

Always check the cleaner’s packaging before using it. Bleach-based cleaners in the cistern can damage rubber seals and valves. Bright blue solutions often invalidate warranty claims on internal components.

Tip from the boss: if you use toilet rim cleaners, go for dissolvable stick-ons, not hang-ons. Plumbers see a lot of callouts when these fall and get stuck. Repairs can be intensive.

Remember: bleach is for the bowl—keep it out of the cistern!

Low water pressure in your home may stem from a number of factors. Often, the cause is fairly easy to isolate. Consider these potential triggers:

  • A worn meter tap washer may be restricting water flow at the source.
  • You might have a pressure-limiting valve needing replacement on your meter.
  • Sydney Water could have dropped street pressure to protect ageing mains.
  • Fixtures may be clogged due to dirt entering after a street main break.
  • Homes with added fixtures post-renovation may have insufficient supply piping.
  • Subsurface leaks on your property can greatly reduce fixture pressure.
  • A hidden pressure reducer could be installed—only detectable with a full inspection.

Watch your water meter. If it moves with no usage, there could be a leak. Call us if anything looks off.

You’re not alone—this is a frequent concern in Sydney homes. Usually, it’s caused by rust within hot water systems or deteriorating iron pipes in older buildings.

Check each tap individually. If only the hot tap shows colour, the water heater may be behind it.

Both taps discoloured? The issue may stem from your water supply.

Water can look slightly cloudy or take on colours like orange, brown or black. Grab a clear cup and look closely at the bottom for settled particles.

A water main issue from Sydney Water can sometimes be the cause. Keep using your water, and if the problem doesn’t fade in 1–2 days, it’s time to act.

For most Sydney homes, the optimal pressure is around 500KPA. Some areas exceed this significantly, causing unique problems. Excessive pressure reduces the durability of pipes and valves and increases wear. Water hammering is frequent in these cases. Homes with high pressure also tend to use more water than those with proper pressure. Sydney Water doesn’t guarantee a maximum pressure supply, so it’s up to homeowners to safeguard their property. Plumbers can conduct pressure tests and fit pressure-limiting devices to prevent damage.

At The Pied Plumber, we love helping with all plumbing problems—big or small.

 

Often, while fixing a leak, we hear:

“Oh, this bathroom we barely use smells bad!”

Mostly caused by infrequent use drying water traps.

Evaporation breaks the water seal, letting sewer odors enter.

Simple solution:

Run water regularly to refill traps, especially floor wastes which may need manual topping.

Ventilate well, and if smell remains, call us!

We know plumbing design. Call the pros!

Whether it’s a routine tap replacement, toilet repair or emergency burst pipe—try not to panic.

Start by identifying what needs to be isolated.

Hot water issue? Check near the bottom of your hot water system. You’ll see a control valve—usually with a blue, black, or green handle. Turn clockwise to shut it off.

Need to shut water at the source?

  • For houses: Meters are usually located near the front boundary. If not clearly visible, trace from the hose tap towards the road. Most meters feature a T-shaped brass handle—turn clockwise to stop flow.
  • In units: Locations vary greatly. You might find isolation valves in laundries, under sinks, service cabinets in halls, garages, or external walls. Not sure? Reach out to your strata manager.

Main takeaway: Know where your mains valve is—it’s the most important tap in your property.

Be confident knowing every technician sent by The Pied Plumber works under our official business plumbing licence. We exclusively send our own employees—no subcontractors. You can find our spotless record on the Fair Trading NSW website.

We’re also insured with a $20 million public liability policy.

WELS, or the Water Efficiency and Labelling Scheme, is essential for Australian plumbing fixtures. It helps buyers compare flow rates and ensures legal use. The program’s strict regulations mean all certified products are tested for performance, efficiency, and safety in Australian conditions.

Manufacturers must meet the AS/NZS 6400 standard and register under WELS. The licence number appears below the WELS label, or you can buy from verified suppliers like Reece.

Cheap imports are often incompatible and may not withstand Australia’s operating pressures. That’s why sticking with WELS rated products protects both your property and your peace of mind.

  • That clunking or water hammer sound in your pipes isn’t just noise – it can lead to major pipe damage and flooding. Always investigate strange sounds. Signs like water marks outside the shower, bubbling wall paint, or odd odours near plumbing areas could mean hidden leaks. Don’t risk an insurance claim. A spike in water usage and cost could be your only clue something’s wrong. If you can’t trace the cause, schedule a leak check. Gurgling or fluctuating levels in drains and toilets almost always point to sewer blockages – and those don’t fix themselves. Hot water failing? It could stem from many causes, each needing a licenced plumber. Noticing dips in your lawn? Damaged underground pipes may be pulling soil in. Thriving patches of grass can even indicate leaks. Since 1995, we’ve seen every plumbing situation possible – and we’re ready to solve yours next.

It’s not a secret code language. “Plumbing Code” refers to formal rules set out by countries, states, and local authorities aimed at protecting public health and ensuring proper installation of plumbing systems. In Sydney, we follow AS/NZ 3500 and the NSW code of practice. If your plumber says, “That’s not to standard!”—they’re probably upholding these essential requirements.

According to the owner of the Pied Plumber—hidden fees after agreeing to a job are simply unacceptable.Since 1995 – We have never surcharged a VISA or MASTERCARD expense back to our customers. We will, however, continue to charge 1.5% on AMEX.The Pied Plumber’s founder can’t stand price changes post-agreement—surprises at checkout are never welcome.Since 1995 – We have never surcharged a VISA or MASTERCARD expense back to our customers. We will, however, continue to charge 1.5% on AMEX.

Yes, you can! Whether it’s outside working hours or on public holidays, the Pied Plumber is ready. We’re proud to step in when others can’t because plumbing problems don’t wait.

In this case – size does matter.

The pipe sizing of your original house before renovations and additions may be of minimum size. Suddenly you’ve doubled your required flow rates and experiencing pressure losses in either/or water and gas supplies.

This may be a result of incorrectly designed plumbing systems. Whether it’s upgrading a gas meter regulator or assessing your pipe size after your water meter through to fixtures – The Pied Plumber can evaluate your concern by providing clear options to assist.

If you’re wondering—YES, without a doubt.

We always make a courtesy call before arrival and give a tight 2-hour window, meaning no endless waiting for your plumber.

Severe leaks can cause hundreds of litres of water per day to gurgle down your drain. Water use in Sydney averages per person at around 300L per day, factoring in all dishwasher, washing machine, toilet, shower, hosing and general tapware use. So losing a vast amount through a seemingly minor problem can add up fairly quickly. If left for months, it’ll affect your back pocket the next time you receive your water bill.

Our advice is to fix significant leaks as soon as they arise.

This lightweight document, usually with your house sale papers, outlines the underground sewer layout. While vague and often outdated, it’s useful when a plumber can’t locate hidden final sewer points, especially in older dwellings. It also shows where the main sewer infrastructure might be. Always have this document ready before your plumber arrives. If you don’t have it, head to the Sydney Water website and download a copy.

Absolutely not!
We’re a proud family-owned business at The Pied Plumber, and we plan to keep it that way!

We operate Monday to Friday from 7am to 3pm, excluding public holidays and long weekends. But we know plumbing problems don’t always wait. If it’s urgent, we can provide same-day, after-hours service where needed.

The Pied plumber is always happy to help!
