A cistern that leaks may, in some scenarios, cause skyrocketing water bills! In some instances, external leaks or drips could become visible near the bowl or base of the toilet. If this worries you, toilets can conveniently be isolated from beneath. We are also happy to take out your old toilet and install your dream model—you’d be pleasantly surprised how much difference a new toilet can bring to the overall appearance of your bathroom. Whether or not it qualifies as a crisis, we consistently handle plumbing jobs near St Leonards and look forward to having a conversation with you!
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. Our service includes swapping old, rust-covered shower heads for modern, premium multi-function heads, plus installing adjustable shower-on-a-rail dispensers for couples who differ significantly in height.
We are a team of fully licenced and insured gas fitting specialists servicing St Leonards. If you catch a sudden gas odour around your appliances—such as the stove, BBQ, heater, gas meter—or even notice a faint sulphur or egg-like scent under your house or floor, these may all suggest there’s a gas leak present. Dangerous gas leaks can threaten the safety of you and your family, so you should contact us to plan what to do next. We use the latest equipment for testing and tracing to keep your heating and kitchen working properly.
Burst water pipes can show up in hidden or hazardous areas like near electrical wires or underground, often causing large-scale water damage and high bills. We always have an experienced emergency plumber available 24/7 near St Leonards to respond without delay. From fixing floods and leaks to replacing entire sections of pipe, we work fast. The Pied Plumber has tackled all types of pipe issues, from split hoses under sinks to garden pipe bursts and even breaks underneath pathways or meters. We’ll ensure everything flows smoothly again.
Sudden hot water loss at home is a common issue in St Leonards—call our plumbing experts and get it sorted quickly for your peace of mind. Even a simple hot water leak, if left untreated, could result in complete system breakdown. A frequent culprit is a faulty hot water tempering valve, leading to poor water temperatures at everyday fixtures such as sinks and showers. Our services include full repairs, routine maintenance, and professional installation of hot water systems. We use top-tier parts from your local Reece plumbing supplier to ensure lasting performance and safety. No heat? Should your boiler fail to provide optimal heating, calling the professionals is the smart move to get it fixed quickly. We manage the entire process with zero hassle.
Endless dripping from taps can send your household around the bend! Whether it’s a leaky mixer tap in the kitchen, a worn cartridge in the hand basin, or that dreaded bathroom shower disturbing everyone at night, this is a top plumbing issue. Throughout all St Leonards suburbs, broken or degraded washers can increase water usage and your quarterly bill. That’s why The Pied Plumber ensures all leaky taps are repaired or replaced, from traditional washer models to newer quarter-turns. We tackle every job, big or small.
Sydneysiders commonly face this issue. Whether it’s because children leave toys behind or ‘that’ close relative visits over Christmas, it often leaves you feeling caught in a pickle. Inside the home, blockages typically arise from excessive grease buildup in kitchen sinks, along with long-haired family members contributing to sluggish shower drains that can sometimes overflow. Over the last twenty years, The Pied Plumber has gained extensive experience managing these problems. Whether it’s clearing blocked floor wastes near baths, swiftly addressing kitchen drain issues, repairing overflowing laundry tubs, or even extracting dried cement from shower drains left by your last tradesman, we do it all. Our approach ensures your drainage is repaired correctly, and we strive to provide you with knowledge to prevent future blockages. It’s clear that drains don’t usually look good, and attempting to clear the ensuite or main bathroom toilet blockage without professional help can worsen the problem over time.
From time to time, and more frequently for certain individuals, you may hear gurgling sounds around your drains, usually within bathroom spaces and even near external sewer overflow spots. Addressing these concerns as soon as they come up is crucial since these common plumbing problems are generally resolved quickly! The cause of many outside sewer service blockages in St Leonards can be traced to tree roots struggling to survive during the city’s frequent drought periods. These mainline obstructions are common throughout St Leonards and nearby locations, including St Leonards, Frenches Forest, and Mona Vale. We specialise in resolving branch line blockages, boundary trap, and shaft problems. The Pied Plumber employs the latest high-pressure jet blasting and CCTV drain inspection technology to detect, locate, and clear blockages, restoring full flow to your wastewater drainage system. The same goes for stormwater drains that cannot cope with heavy rain events. If downpipes are backing up near pits or strip drains start to overflow, we’ll act fast to get you back in action and carefully diagnose the cause to avoid it happening again.

That’s why our plumbing team is available all day and night, seven days a week, to serve you and your family. So the next time you have a plumbing problem in Sydney, our emergency response team can help you out, no matter if it’s nighttime or the early hours of the morning.
Stay composed; help is just a call away. Emergencies are often easy to detect, but your safety might not be so apparent. Take a moment to notice flood-prone zones, watch for electrical risks, and if water is found near your storage hot water service, promptly switch OFF your electrical hot water circuit! Your electrical meter box should clearly label the hot water circuit as “HWS,” “HOT WATER,” or “HW.”
Even though we have wet vacs and cleaning supplies ready, we treat these as part of our emergency response protocol. It is important to keep old towels available during emergencies, as they will certainly reduce the damage severity inside your house. Plumbing complications under a hand basin, toilet, or sink may cause chipboard cupboards and shelving to swell, resulting in irreversible damage. Avoid using hot air fans, as this will worsen the problem before our arrival. Let us step in and save your plumbing!
A shower, in this case, is just an example. In theory, any hot water fixture can be affected by this problem. You may have hot water quickly on one side of the house and then worry it’s broken once you reach the other end.
These issues are mainly pipe sizing and length related problems. The further your heater is away from the fixture, the greater the heat loss and time taken to reach the furthermost tap. Even climate can affect the heat loss in lines.
Only when Hot water services have a lack of pressure preventing optimal flow is when these issues are insanely prevalent. Most of the time, we are able to provide solutions to improve or completely remedy your hot water problem.
More than likely not. Most vitreous ceramic cisterns will have genuine and generic components available to rectify. If your Cistern’s constructed in plastic and requires more than inlet and outlet rubber replacement to fix – you may find that a new plastic cistern is the most cost-effective route. We always consider the age, make and model of your cistern and suite to ensure that you’re given the know-how to make the correct decision.
At The Pied Plumber, we understand that knowing how to lower your water bills in Sydney will go a long way to helping families manage their budgets within challenging climates. Never fear!

Five strategies for saving money on your water bills in Sydney
Lower your water bills with a water leak claim form When you have a concealed water leak underground and have promptly acted to fix the problem, you can claim credit for the additional water charges from the council. As licensed family plumbers in Sydney, we will issue you with a water leak claim form, which you submit to Sydney Water once we have repaired your water leak helping you lower your water bill in Sydney following a hidden leak. We’re here if you need us: 1300 13 80 80
Short answer; check your cleaner packaging before use. Anything bleach-based, when used inside your cistern, can chemically deteriorate internal rubbers and valve parts. If your cistern cleaner is bright blue in particular – this voids most manufacture warranties of cistern components. A quick tip from the boss: If you’re one to use cleaners inside the toilet rim, look into dissolvable stick-on products rather than hanging manifolds. You’d be surprised how many call-outs Plumbers obtain from foreign objects caught down the dunny when flushed. Some can involve fairly significant works to retrieve. Just remember – bleach for the pan, not your cistern! We’re always happy for a chat if you’re experiencing any issues. 1300 13 80 80
Unsatisfactorily low water pressure may be reasonably simple to diagnose in certain situations. Below is a check-list of possible triggers, from the more popular to the uncommon supplementary causes of low water pressure:
The key concern here is: Don’t wait for your next water bill to arrive. Check that your water meter isn’t ticking over constantly, and if concerned – we’re a call away.
Fortunately, you’re not alone—this prevalent problem in Sydney households is, most of the time, due to either hot water cylinder rust or cast-iron pipe supply issues. (if in older properties) Open your taps independently to check whether the discolouration occurrence is on both hot and cold sides. If your issue is predominantly from the hot side – your hot water heater is asking for a check-up. Are you finding this on both sides? It’s a likely supply issue. Discolouration can range from a slight cloudy white tinge to black, brown and orange water supplies. To check, simply fill a clear cup sample and focus notably on the bottom for sedimentation. On occasion, even a Sydney Water street mains break can affect surrounding property supply, so in the meantime, continue using your plumbing and, after a day or two – if the problem persists, have this looked over. Otherwise, give us a call! We would be more than happy to help. 1300 13 80 80
The maximum and most ideal house pressure range is 500KPA. This is achieved throughout most of Sydney; however, some areas have been known to exceed this immensely. Furthermore, in these particular locations, we’ll often find problem issues that rarely occur elsewhere. High-pressure notably reduces lifespan and increases wear in pipes and valves. Water hammering concerns are prevalent in these scenarios, and generally, water use in high-pressure homes is far greater than their optimal pressure counterparts. Unfortunately, Sydney Water does not guarantee a maximum supply pressure, leaving the sole discretion of the consumer to protect their property. As plumbers, we can easily perform a pressure test and, if necessary, install a water meter pressure-limiting device to safeguard your home.

Broken sewer lines are the usual culprit as there’s a regular supply of waste passing through these pipes, which can draw in the surrounding ground as waste matter passes. These issues should adequately be assessed even if your grass has never been greener! Since our establishment in 1995 – You’ve had it, we’ve seen it.
For the most part – It’s not a secret language. This refers to sets of rules outlined by countries, states and regions worldwide with the objective of providing safe method, practice and installation of plumbing materials and systems fit for public health and safety. We operate within the guidelines of the Australian Sydney region, which is primarily governed by the AS/NZ 3500 standard and NSW code of practice. So if you overhear a plumber saying, “That’s not to standard!” – It’s probably good news that he or she knows the rules which must be carried out.
Straight from the Pied Plumber’s owner—nothing annoys more than settling a price and getting a sneaky extra charge. 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.
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.
We’re proud to advise – NO! The Pied Plumber is a family-owned business. Furthermore, that’s just the way we like it!

This flimsy piece of paper is documentation usually found with your house sale contracts, which can significantly assist in locating the position of below-ground sewer pipework. In essence, it’s a vague outline of your outdoor sewer service and, in most cases outdated, however, it does have relevance during scenarios where a Plumber is unable to locate essential final sewer points, as oftentimes these are buried underground in older dwellings. It also gives further knowledge on the whereabouts of mains infrastructure. It is always a good idea to have this document on hand ready before a plumber arrives. If unobtainable, visit the Sydney Water website and purchase a downloadable copy.
Our regular business hours are Monday through to Friday, 7am – 3pm. This excludes Public holidays and long weekends. However, we understand that not all plumbing issues arise between these times.
