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

Toilet trouble

In certain cases, a leaking cistern could result in very high water expenses! You might observe toilet leaks or dripping water externally around the bowl or pan area. If this raises concern, toilets can be turned off individually from below. We’re also able to dispose of your existing toilet and install the one you’ve always preferred—you’d be amazed at the difference a new toilet can make in the aesthetics of your bathroom. Regardless of whether it’s an emergency or not, our plumbing team is always operating near Kirribilli and would be happy to have a conversation 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. Additionally, we update rusted shower heads with new multi-function models of excellent quality and install adjustable shower-on-a-rail dispensers for couples who have significant height gaps.

Constant Gas Smell

As fully licenced and insured gas fitting specialists in Kirribilli, we help detect and resolve leaks fast. An abrupt gas smell around your appliances—like a BBQ, gas meter, heater, or stove—or even a faint rotten egg odour under your home or flooring, can all be early warnings of a 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

Burst pipes can emerge in unexpected spots—near power lines, behind walls, or below pathways—bringing on serious water damage and large water bills. That’s why we have emergency plumbers near Kirribilli ready 24/7 to take immediate action. We’re equipped to replace damaged pipes, clean up flooding, and restore your plumbing swiftly. The Pied Plumber has resolved pipe issues from kitchen hose leaks and outdoor pipe splits to major underground ruptures and meter-related breaks. We’ll have your system back in order in no time.

No Hot Water Kirribilli Area

Dealing with no hot water in your home in Kirribilli? You’re not alone—it’s a regular plumbing problem, and our team is ready to resolve it fast for your comfort. Small hot water leaks are usually fixable, but ignoring them may lead to system-wide failure. Sometimes, the real issue is a malfunctioning tempering device that compromises water temperature at crucial fixtures like your shower or kitchen sink. We can service, repair, or install reliable new hot water systems. All materials used come directly from your nearest Reece plumbing supplier for lasting reliability. No heat? If your boiler isn’t working at optimal heating levels anymore, it’s time to call the professionals for a quick resolution. We make sure the entire process is hassle-free.

Leaking Taps in Kirribilli

Dripping taps are more than a nuisance—they’ll push your entire family to the brink! Everything from leaking kitchen mixers and hand basin tap cartridges to that persistent bathroom shower is included under this widespread plumbing problem. In every Kirribilli suburb, broken or worn washers can lead to rising water bills each quarter. That’s why The Pied Plumber works hard to repair and restore all leaking pipes—be it washer-type or quarter-turn, aged or brand new. We’re equipped to handle them all.

Blockages With In Household Drains around Kirribilli

This happens quite frequently for many living in Sydney. Whether from children neglecting their toys or a close relative turning up at Christmas, it can leave you in a tricky 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. 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 Kirribilli

On some occasions, and for some more often than others, you could notice gurgling around drains, generally in bathrooms and even around outdoor areas with sewer overflow. It’s important to deal with these issues as soon as they emerge because these frequent plumbing troubles can be remedied quickly! Outside sewer blockages are commonly caused by tree roots striving to survive amid Sydney’s ongoing drought conditions. From Kirribilli to Frenches Forest and Mona Vale, mainline clogs are a widespread problem throughout Kirribilli 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. This also applies to stormwater drains that are unable to cope with heavy rainfall. If your downpipes are backing up in and around pits and your strip drains are overflowing – we’ll take the time to have you back in action in a jiffy, along with properly assessing your problem to prevent a recurrence.

Kirribilli Drain Repairs:

Burst or leaking pipes and faulty or clogged sewers can cause a major disruption to your household, potentially leading to numerous issues. If your toilet, bathroom, bath, or sinks are flooded, blocked, or damaged, we see all drain repairs as emergencies. Our plumbers in Kirribilli will come quickly to unblock, Jet-Blast, and clear your overflowing drains!

The initial action you can take for a drain blocked by tree roots or paper is to contact one of our experts. Our emergency plumbing service, available after hours, will guide you through the typical reasons behind drain blockages. Upon arrival, our team will find and repair the blockage while ensuring your drains are properly installed to avoid recurring problems.

Emergency Kirribilli Plumber:

Plumbing difficulties don’t only occur in the daytime, and more often than not, they come up after work when you’re about to shower or use the toilet. Our plumbing crew is available to support your family twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. So if you experience a plumbing problem in Sydney, our emergency response team is ready to help, even if it’s late at night or very early morning.

What To do In an After-Hours Kirribilli 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 wet vacs and cleaning supplies are available, we consider these as part of our emergency response efforts. Old towels should be kept nearby during an emergency since they will surely reduce the extent of damage inside your property. Plumbing troubles under a hand basin, toilet, or sink may cause chipboard cupboards and shelves to swell, which leads to permanent damage. Never resort to hot air fans in such situations, as this will worsen the damage before we arrive on site. Trust us to safeguard your plumbing system!

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

  • Generally speaking, politely asking for a water pause won’t stop a burst line from leaking. Try to identify your water meter before we get there and, if it’s possible, figure out whether the cold or hot water line is affected so you can isolate it. Otherwise, the water meter will likely run your supply dry.
  • Calling from a home in Kirribilli? In most cases, your water meter will be located out the front, facing the street, and lined up with the house’s hose tap. Ensure the meter tap is twisted clockwise. Then open an outdoor hose tap to verify that the water has been turned ‘OFF’. This also allows the remaining water in the household pipeline to drain off in a safe manner.
  • If you’re dealing with a plumbing emergency in a unit block in Kirribilli, 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

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.

In most cases, no. Vitreous ceramic cisterns often have parts—both original and aftermarket—that can solve the issue. However, if it’s a plastic cistern needing more than rubber replacements on the inlet and outlet, replacing it could be more economical. We factor in the age, model, and style of your cistern and suite to help you make the most informed decision possible.

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.

 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. 

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. If urgent, we offer after-hours, same day service if necessary. The Pied plumber is always happy to help!
