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

Toilet trouble

A leaking cistern can, in some cases, contribute to extensively high-water bills! You may even experience external toilet drips and leaks in and around the bowl or pan. If this is of concern, all toilets can be isolated below. We can even remove your old toilet and replace it with the one you’ve always desired-you’d be shocked how much a new toilet installation can change the look of a space. Whether or not this is a crisis, we are always plumbing near Hunters Hill and would love to chat with you!

Shower Complications

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.

Constant Gas Smell

We are your fully licenced and insured gas fitting specialists in Hunters Hill. If you smell gas unexpectedly near your gas stove, BBQ, heater, or gas meter—or detect a subtle egg-like odour from beneath your house or floorboards—these are common indicators of a possible gas leak. Gas leaks carry serious risks for your family’s safety; you should get in touch with us to establish your next steps. We rely on the newest testing and tracing equipment to guarantee your kitchen and heating remain operational and secure.

Leaking and Burst Pipes

Water pipes can burst without warning in tricky areas—next to wiring, under concrete, or deep in the garden—causing expensive damage and higher water costs. Fortunately, our expert 24-hour plumbers near Hunters Hill are always ready to help. We act quickly to fix flood damage, repair or replace burst pipes, and restore your plumbing. From under-sink hose splits to ruptured outdoor copper lines and hidden underground breaks, The Pied Plumber has seen it all. We’ll have you back up and running with minimal fuss.

No Hot Water Hunters Hill Area

Running out of hot water in your Hunters Hill residence is a typical plumbing issue—contact our licensed professionals to get it fixed without delay. Though a hot water leak might appear harmless, ignoring it can cause the whole unit to fail. Faulty tempering devices also contribute to unstable or low water temperatures at vital fixtures like sinks and showers. We offer end-to-end hot water system services including repairs, maintenance, and full installations. To ensure premium quality, we exclusively use parts from the closest Reece plumbing supplier to your location. No heat? When your boiler ceases to provide optimal heat, calling the experts for a quick fix is essential. We manage everything hassle-free and without delay.

Leaking Taps in Hunters Hill

Leaking taps are enough to send you and your loved ones over the edge! This frustrating plumbing problem includes everything from faulty kitchen or hand basin mixer cartridges to the relentless shower drip disturbing your night’s sleep. Worn-out washers in any Hunters Hill suburb can cause your water bill to spike dramatically. That’s exactly why The Pied Plumber ensures the repair or replacement of any leaky pipe—be it an old-style washer tap or a modern quarter-turn fixture. We handle the lot.

Blockages With In Household Drains around Hunters Hill

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 in houses usually stem from excessive grease deposits in kitchen sinks combined with long-haired family members contributing to slow or overflowing shower drains. The Pied Plumber has built up substantial experience over the last two decades dealing with these issues. From unblocking floor wastes next to baths to quickly tackling kitchen drainage difficulties, fixing overflowing laundry tubs, and sometimes removing dried cement from shower drains left by past tradespeople, we cover it all. We focus on repairing your drainage problem correctly and provide you with advice to prevent recurrence. 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.

 

Blocked External Drains in Hunters Hill

Sometimes, and with greater regularity for some people, you could experience gurgling noises close to drains, most often in bathrooms and occasionally in outdoor areas affected by sewer overflow. It’s vital to handle these issues promptly when they surface because these typical plumbing problems can be dealt with fast! Tree roots searching for water are often the main culprit behind outside sewer service blockages, especially during Sydney’s regular droughts. Whether you reside in Hunters Hill, Frenches Forest, or Mona Vale, these blockages in the main sewer lines are common throughout Hunters Hill and surrounding areas. We specialise in clearing branch line blockages, boundary traps, and shaft issues. At The Pied Plumber, we utilise cutting-edge high-pressure jet blasting combined with CCTV drain inspection technology to accurately identify and clear blockages, ensuring your wastewater drainage system runs smoothly again. 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.

Hunters Hill Drain Repairs:

Leaking or burst pipes along with a clogged or faulty sewer can stop your home functioning and lead to multiple problems. If your toilet, bathroom, bath, or sinks are flooded, blocked, or damaged, we consider every drain repair an emergency. Our plumbers in Hunters Hill will be there as soon as possible to unblock, Jet-Blast, and clear your overflowing drains!

You can do the first thing if you have a blocked drain exacerbated by tree roots or paper to contact one of our specialists. Our after-hours emergency plumbing service will assist you in understanding the most common causes of drain blockages. 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.

Emergency Hunters Hill Plumber:

We recognise plumbing troubles don’t only happen during daytime; they frequently arise after work when you are about to take a shower or use the toilet. Our plumbing technicians are available around the clock, seven days a week, to assist you and your family. So whenever you have a plumbing issue in Sydney, our direct emergency team can provide support, whether it’s late at night or very early in the morning.

What To do In an After-Hours Hunters Hill Plumbing Emergency:

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.”

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.
  • Phoning in from a property located in Hunters Hill? Your water meter will usually be out the front, in line with the hose tap and facing the street. Turn the meter tap clockwise to shut it off. After that, switch on your outdoor hose tap to ensure the water is ‘OFF’. Doing this also helps the remaining water in your household supply line discharge properly and safely.
  • During a plumbing emergency in a unit block situated in Hunters Hill, you’ll typically find your unit isolation valve under either the kitchen sink or the laundry tub. Unfortunately, there’s no regulated standard for locating common property isolation valves. That’s why The Pied Plumber firmly suggests all unit owners take note of the component’s placement in advance.

What Our Customers Say About Us

Frequently Asked Questions

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! There are ways that you can reduce your water bills, whether this be installing water-efficient appliances and fixtures or by ensuring that leaks are isolated and fixed promptly. These actions will not only help you save money on your water bills but assist in conserving water, we can all help save our dams during drought seasons. Five strategies for saving money on your water bills in Sydney

  1. Check your toilet for leaks: Add a few drops of food colouring into the cistern and wait for 30 minutes. If the cistern is leaking into the pan, you will see the coloured water in the bowl.
  2. Install a dual flush cistern: This can save you up to 5 litres of water every time you flush the toilet, which can add up to thousands of litres per year.
  3. Check fixture flow rates: Our family plumbers will check the flow rates of your shower heads, bath, vanity, kitchen and laundry taps and install water restrictors, which reduce the flow rates to save you money.
  4. Repair leaking taps: One or more dripping taps can add up to a lot of wasted water and higher than expected bills. So whether these are indoors or outdoors, the prompt repair of leaking taps is essential to conserving water and saving money on your water bills in Sydney.
  5. Hidden underground leaks: Often, the first time you realise that you have an insidious underground water leak is when you receive an abnormally high water bill. However, leaks from underground mains water pipes can be challenging to locate, which is why our electronic line locating equipment comes in handy. Our family plumbers will quickly and efficiently find the source of your underground water leak and repair the pipes, helping you to save 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:

  • Your meter tap washer is broken and thus disallowing optimal flow through the meter assembly.
  • You have a pressure limiting or reduction device fitted to the meter outlet, which may require replacement.
  • Sydney Water has reduced the street pressure supply to prolong outdated and weakened mains pipes from breaking.
  • Your fixture tap outlets have become clogged with debris—this is a common problem, particularly after a split in a street main, causing fixture tap outlets to become blocked. This is a common problem, particularly after a break in a road main.
  • Your water supply lines are undersized for the number of fixtures you now have around your property. Particularly when homes have been renovated and fixture numbers have doubled without updating water supplies to accommodate the increased flow rates necessary to operate the dwelling
  • You have a below ground leak on the property; depending on the severity of the leak, this may impact your working pressures to fixtures.
  • You perhaps have a hidden pressure-reducing device fitted somewhere on the property. A full house inspection is often necessary to source these.

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.

  • Water hammering or odd audible noise emanating from plumbing fixtures can commonly cause burst pipes and property damage if left unattended. It may seem insignificant but certainly, a worthy idea to check for peace of mind.
  • Water damage outside shower screens, bubbling paint along walls and adjacent rooms, dampness or discolouration around ceilings along with off stagnant odour around plumbing areas. Avoid an insurance claim, have this checked.
  • Higher than usual water bills is a relatively standard method of establishing whether you have an issue. If you’re unable to identify the cause of the billing discrepancy – It might be worth having your house inspected for leaks.
  • Gurgling and varying water levels in toilets, floor wastes, and outdoor drains are a giveaway sign that you have a sewer blockage. This is the time to have your plumbing assessed to prevent overflowing drains.
  • Hot water no longer producing a reasonable tempered supply; A plethora of causes may result in this scenario – All of which should be appropriately assessed by a licenced plumber.
  • The sudden drop in your outside garden grassed area? This might sound like a sinkhole or something out worldly, although it is usually a result of drainage breaks underground.

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 say – NO! The Pied Plumber is a family-owned business, and truthfully, that’s exactly how we prefer 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!
