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 North 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.
For the majority of Sydneysiders, this happens all the time. Whether it’s kids forgetting toys or that one close relative coming around Christmas, it tends to leave you stuck in a pickle. The usual cause of internal house blockages is excess grease in kitchen sinks coupled with long-haired family members whose hair clogs shower drains, causing slow drainage or overflow. For over twenty years, The Pied Plumber has gained extensive knowledge handling these challenges. Whether clearing blocked floor wastes near baths, promptly solving kitchen drainage issues, fixing overflowing laundry tubs, or removing dried cement from shower drains left by former tradesmen, we manage it efficiently. We invest time in proper repairs and aim to equip you with preventative strategies. 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.
From time to time, and with increased frequency for some, you may experience gurgling near drains, typically in bathroom areas and even outside where sewer overflow is present. It’s essential to attend to these problems quickly once they arise, as these common plumbing issues are often fixed with ease! Tree roots desperate for moisture frequently cause outside sewer service blockages in Sydney, especially during frequent droughts. No matter if you’re based in North Sydney, Frenches Forest, or Mona Vale, these mainline sewer choke points are common across North Sydney 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. This also relates to stormwater drains unable to manage intense rainfall. If your downpipes are backing up close to pits and strip drains overflow, we’ll swiftly get you operational again and conduct a proper assessment to prevent the issue from recurring.

When our team arrives, we will find and repair the blockage and ensure that your drains are installed to standard to avoid any future blockages.
We realise plumbing issues are not just a daytime concern and frequently happen after work, particularly when you are preparing for a shower or using the toilet. That’s why our plumbing team is available 24/7 to serve you and your family. So when you face a plumbing emergency in Sydney, our direct response team can assist you anytime, including at night or in the early hours.
Keep your cool; assistance is only a phone call away. Emergencies are generally apparent, but your safety might not be as obvious. Take a few seconds to identify flood-prone areas, look for electrical risks, and if any water is around your storage hot water service, turn OFF the electrical hot water circuit immediately! Your electrical meter box must have the hot water circuit labeled “HWS,” “HOT WATER,” or “HW” for easy identification.
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 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.
Probably not. Vitreous ceramic cisterns usually have suitable genuine and generic parts to repair them. If it’s a plastic cistern and the fix requires more than changing inlet and outlet rubbers, replacing the unit might be cheaper. We always evaluate the age, brand, and design of your cistern and suite so you’re fully informed when making a 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.
Take it from the owner of the Pied Plumber—a pet hate of agreeing to a price and then the hidden surprise afterwards. 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—pipe size truly does matter. The original pipe sizing in your home may have only met minimum standards. With extensions or additions, your required flow rates may have doubled, resulting in pressure drops in your water or gas supply. Often, these issues stem from poor plumbing design. Whether it’s adjusting a gas regulator or assessing pipes post-meter, The Pied Plumber will inspect and offer practical solutions tailored to your needs.
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.
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!
