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.

Even if it’s not an urgent situation, we’re consistently providing plumbing services close to Crows Nest and are eager to connect with you!
Sometimes, shower leaks aren’t immediately visible and may be seeping through tight spaces surrounding the taps or showerhead. Our technicians are fully equipped with thermal imaging technology and can efficiently pressure test the shower outlet. The best first approach is undoubtedly to inspect the plumbing before investing heavily in resealing, just to find the leak hasn’t been fixed. 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.
Operating as fully licenced and insured gas fitting professionals in Crows Nest, 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. Gas leaks present a risk to the safety of you and your family, so contacting us to decide your next move is essential. Our advanced testing and tracing tools are designed to keep your kitchen and heating systems safe and running efficiently.

No hot water in your Crows Nest home? It’s a frequent plumbing challenge—let our skilled team resolve it fast to keep your family comfortable.

We rely solely on quality parts sourced from your nearby Reece plumbing supplier to ensure reliability and endurance. No heat? If your boiler no longer heats properly, it’s wise to reach out to the experts who can fix it promptly. We handle all the work smoothly and without any hassle.
The constant sound of dripping faucets can make life unbearable for you and your family! Whether it’s a faulty kitchen mixer tap, a worn-out basin cartridge, or that persistent bathroom shower drip that ruins everyone’s rest, this is a frequent plumbing headache. In Crows Nest suburbs, damaged or ageing washers can send your quarterly water bills soaring. The Pied Plumber is here to help by fixing or repairing all types of leaky pipes—no matter the style or age. From traditional washers to quarter-turns, we’ve got you covered.
It’s something most Sydneysiders deal with regularly. Whether due to kids leaving toys lying about or that close relative arriving during Christmas, it tends to land you in a pickle. Internal home blockages are frequently caused by too much grease in kitchen sinks along with long-haired family members leading to slow or overflowing shower drains. The Pied Plumber, with its twenty years of experience, has encountered and resolved many such cases. Clearing floor wastes near baths, responding promptly to kitchen drainage problems, repairing overflowing laundry tubs, and sometimes removing dried cement from shower drains left by former tradesmen are all part of what we do. We aim to properly fix your drainage faults and share useful prevention tips to help you avoid future problems. Let’s admit it: drains aren’t always visually appealing, and trying to unblock the ensuite or main bathroom toilet without professional help might cause additional damage over time.
Every so often, and more frequently for some than others, you might detect gurgling sounds near your drains, typically inside bathrooms and sometimes at external sites of sewer overflow. It’s critical to respond to these issues as soon as they arise, given that these common plumbing problems can be fixed promptly! Tree roots desperate for moisture frequently cause outside sewer service blockages in Sydney, especially during frequent droughts. No matter if you’re based in Crows Nest, Frenches Forest, or Mona Vale, these mainline sewer choke points are common across Crows Nest and its surrounding regions. Clearing branch line blockages, boundary traps, and shaft problems is our forte. At The Pied Plumber, we apply the latest in CCTV drain inspection and high-pressure jet blasting technology to locate and clear blockages with precision, ensuring your drainage system is fully operational. The same applies to stormwater drains that struggle under heavy rainfall. If downpipes back up near pits and strip drains overflow, we’ll promptly get you back on track while thoroughly checking the problem to prevent it happening again.

So, should you encounter a plumbing emergency in Sydney, our direct response team can respond swiftly, no matter if it’s during the night or the early morning hours.
Do not panic; support is simply a call away. Emergencies tend to be visible, yet your safety is not always obvious. Stop briefly to recognize flood risk areas, check for electrical hazards, and if you see water near your storage hot water service, switch OFF the electrical hot water circuit without hesitation! The hot water circuit should be clearly identified as “HWS,” “HOT WATER,” or “HW” inside your electrical meter box.
While we do have wet vacuums and cleaning supplies available, we consider these tools as part of our emergency response protocol. Keeping old towels handy during a crisis is crucial and can significantly lessen the extent of damage inside your home. Plumbing problems beneath a hand basin, toilet, or sink can cause chipboard cupboards and shelves to swell, leading to permanent damage. Under no circumstances should you use hot air fans to try to fix the issue, as this will only worsen the situation before we get there. Let us handle your plumbing emergency and minimise damage!
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.

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.

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.
NO – and we’re proud of that! The Pied Plumber is a family-run business. Frankly, that’s the way we love to keep 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.
