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.

Whether or not this is a crisis, we are always plumbing near Lavender Bay and would love to chat with you!
In some cases, shower leaks may be tucked away in discreet areas near your tapware or showerhead, making them hard to detect. We come equipped with cutting-edge thermal imaging devices and can easily run a pressure test on the outlet. It’s best to inspect the plumbing first rather than pour hundreds into resealing a bath or shower and still be left with the same issue. We replace old and rusted shower heads with new, top-quality multi-function heads and install adjustable shower-on-a-rail dispensers designed for those couples who differ greatly in height.
We’re proud to be fully licenced and insured gas fitting professionals serving Lavender Bay.

Gas leaks can be hazardous to you and your family; you should contact us to determine your next course of action. We have the most up-to-date testing and tracing equipment to ensure that your kitchen and heating remain operational.

Experiencing a lack of hot water at home is a common plumbing concern across Lavender Bay—let our professionals fix it fast to keep your family comfortable! While hot water leaks are often straightforward to repair, ignoring them may result in complete failure of your hot water unit. A malfunctioning tempering valve can also prevent proper water temperatures at vital points like sinks and showers. Our team can service, repair, or install a brand-new hot water system tailored to your home. To ensure long-lasting performance, all parts are sourced exclusively from your local Reece plumbing supplier. 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.
Dripping taps are more than a nuisance—they’ll push your entire family to the brink!

This is a regular occurrence among Sydneysiders. Whether caused by children leaving their toys behind or a particular close relative arriving during the Christmas season, it often puts you in a jam. Blockages inside a house are often caused by the buildup of grease in kitchen sinks alongside long-haired family members who cause shower drains to slow down or overflow. The Pied Plumber has amassed two decades of experience resolving such issues. Whether it’s unblocking floor wastes adjacent to baths, quickly addressing kitchen drain troubles, repairing overflowing laundry tubs, or even removing dried cement left by your last tradesman from shower drains, we do it all. We make sure to fix your drainage problem thoroughly while offering prevention tips to keep your system flowing smoothly. Let’s face it: drains aren’t always pretty, and unblocking the ensuite or main bathroom toilet without professional assistance can do more harm in the long run.
On occasion and some more frequently than others, you may experience gurgling around drains, usually within bathrooms and even areas of sewer overflow outside. It is critical to address these issues as soon as they arise, as these common plumbing issues can be resolved quickly! Outside sewer service blockages often arise from tree roots trying to survive through Sydney’s repeated drought spells. Whether you’re in Lavender Bay, Frenches Forest, or Mona Vale, these mainline sewer choke points are frequent across Lavender Bay and surrounding areas. Our specialty lies in clearing branch line obstructions, boundary traps, and shaft troubles. The Pied Plumber employs the latest high-pressure jet blasting combined with CCTV drain inspection to accurately identify and remove blockages, ensuring your drainage system functions efficiently. 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.

Our plumbing technicians are available around the clock, seven days a week, to assist you and your family.

Stay relaxed; assistance is just a phone call away. Emergencies tend to be apparent, but your safety might not always be obvious. Stop for a few seconds to notice flood-prone zones, watch for any electrical risks, and if water is near your storage hot water service, turn OFF the electrical hot water circuit immediately! The hot water circuit should be clearly labeled as “HWS,” “HOT WATER,” or “HW” within your electrical meter box.
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!
Your shower is just one example—this can happen with any hot water fixture. You might get quick hot water at one tap, but faraway fixtures lag or feel broken.
The main culprit is pipe length and size. The farther the fixture is from the hot water system, the more time and heat is lost. Even outdoor temperature plays a role in how heat escapes from your pipes.
If your hot water system also lacks proper pressure, the issue becomes even worse. Fortunately, we can often improve or even completely solve the 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.

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 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!
