In particular scenarios, a leaking cistern can result in extremely high-water bills! External dripping or leaking may also occur around the toilet pan or bowl area. If you’re concerned, the good news is every toilet has an isolation point below. We can also swap your old toilet for the stylish model you’ve always wanted—you’ll be shocked at just how much a new toilet can update and modernise the space. Crisis aside, our plumbers are regularly working around Northbridge and would welcome the opportunity to talk 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 even replace old rusted shower heads with new top-notch multi-function heads and install adjustable shower on-a rail dispensers for those odd couples with significant height differentials.
As fully licenced and insured gas fitting specialists in Northbridge, we’re equipped to handle any issue. If you suddenly detect a strong gas odour near appliances like your BBQ, stove, gas heater, or gas meter—or if you smell a faint egg-like scent beneath your house or flooring—these could all point to a potential gas leak! When gas leaks occur, they can be dangerous for you and your family, so it’s crucial to contact us for guidance on your next actions. Using the latest technology for testing and tracing, we ensure your kitchen and heating systems stay safe and working.

A sudden lack of hot water at your property in Northbridge can be frustrating—reach out to our expert plumbers for a quick, effective resolution to keep your household running smoothly. Small leaks in your hot water system might seem minor, but left untreated, they can lead to full system failure.

We’re equipped to handle servicing, repairs, and complete installations of new hot water units. All replacement parts are obtained from your closest Reece plumbing supplier to guarantee lasting quality. No heat? If your boiler isn’t delivering heat like it used to, you should get in touch with specialists who can repair it swiftly. We do it all without any fuss or hassle.

Throughout all Northbridge suburbs, broken or degraded washers can increase water usage and your quarterly bill.

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. Typically, blockages inside your home come from an excess of grease in kitchen sinks and long-haired family members causing shower drains to clog and occasionally overflow. Over the past twenty years, The Pied Plumber has developed significant expertise in these matters. Whether it’s unblocking floor wastes by baths, attending swiftly to kitchen drainage troubles, fixing overflowing laundry tubs, or even clearing dried cement from shower drains left by your previous tradesman, we handle it with care. We take the time necessary to fix your drainage issues properly and ensure you’re equipped with preventative knowledge. The fact is, drains aren’t often attractive, and dealing with the ensuite or main bathroom toilet blockage without skilled assistance might do more damage in the long term.
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! Tree roots, struggling for survival in Sydney’s frequent drought conditions, are a common cause of outside sewer service blockages. These mainline clogs occur often in areas like Northbridge, Frenches Forest, and Mona Vale, making them widespread issues around Northbridge and neighbouring regions. Branch line blockages, boundary traps, and shaft issues are our core expertise. The Pied Plumber uses advanced CCTV inspection and high-pressure jet blasting technology to precisely locate and clear blockages, restoring your drainage wastewater system to full working order. This is true for stormwater drains overwhelmed by heavy rainfall too. When downpipes are backing up in and around pits and strip drains overflow, we’ll take the time to get you up and running quickly, along with a thorough assessment to prevent the problem returning.

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.”
While wet vacs and cleaning supplies are in our possession, these are primarily part of our emergency response tools. Having old towels during an emergency is essential, as they will certainly decrease the severity of damage inside your house. Plumbing faults underneath a hand basin, toilet, or sink can lead to swelling in chipboard cupboards and shelves, causing damage that cannot be reversed. Avoid using hot air fans at all costs because this will aggravate the situation before we arrive. Allow us to save your plumbing system promptly!
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 have both genuine and compatible parts available for repairs. If your cistern is made of plastic and needs more than just inlet and outlet rubber replacements, a full replacement may be the most cost-effective solution. We always assess the age, model, and type of your cistern and toilet suite to ensure you have all the information needed to make the right choice.

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.
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.
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.
