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

Toilet trouble

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!

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 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.

Constant Gas Smell

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.

Leaking and Burst Pipes

Burst pipes often happen in hard-to-see spots like under concrete, near electric wiring, or deep in your garden, leading to costly water damage and inflated utility bills. That’s why we offer around-the-clock emergency plumbing near Northbridge, so help is always close by. From fixing floods to swapping out burst pipes, we work efficiently to get things right. The Pied Plumber has repaired everything from leaky hoses under sinks to shattered copper pipes and ruptures near meters or beneath footpaths. We’ll restore your plumbing system with minimal disruption.

No Hot Water Northbridge Area

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. Sometimes, the issue stems from a broken tempering device, which can leave showers and sinks with inconsistent water temperatures. 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.

Leaking Taps in Northbridge

Endless dripping from taps can send your household around the bend! Whether it’s a leaky mixer tap in the kitchen, a worn cartridge in the hand basin, or that dreaded bathroom shower disturbing everyone at night, this is a top plumbing issue. Throughout all Northbridge suburbs, broken or degraded washers can increase water usage and your quarterly bill. That’s why The Pied Plumber ensures all leaky taps are repaired or replaced, from traditional washer models to newer quarter-turns. We tackle every job, big or small.

Blockages With In Household Drains around Northbridge

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.

 

Blocked External Drains in Northbridge

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.

Northbridge Drain Repairs:

Leaking or burst pipes, together with a malfunctioning or clogged sewer, can bring your home operations to a standstill and create an overwhelming number of problems. Should your toilet, bathroom, bath, or sinks be flooding, blocked, or damaged, we classify every drain repair as an emergency. Our plumbers in Northbridge will arrive swiftly to unblock, Jet-Blast, and clear your overflowing drain system!

If your drain is blocked due to tree roots or paper, the first step is to reach out to one of our specialists. Our after-hours emergency plumbing service is available to help you identify the most frequent causes of drain blockages. Once our team arrives, they will locate and fix the blockage and verify that your drains meet installation standards to prevent future issues.

Emergency Northbridge Plumber:

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.

What To do In an After-Hours Northbridge 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:

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!

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

  • A polite pause request rarely resolves burst pipes. Before we arrive, do your best to find the water meter and, if you can, check whether the leak is from hot or cold water—this helps in isolating the right line. If this step is skipped, the meter will continue drawing down the water supply.
  • If your call is coming from a household in Northbridge, your water meter is typically installed at the front of the home, generally in line with the garden tap and facing the street. Rotate the meter tap clockwise to turn it off. Then open a hose tap outdoors to check that your water is indeed ‘OFF’. This process will also safely release any remaining water still in the pipeline.
  • In the event of an emergency in a unit block in Northbridge, the unit isolation valve is typically located beneath the kitchen sink or within the laundry tub cabinet. However, since there is no universally established standard for determining the placement of common property isolation valves, The Pied Plumber strongly recommends that all unit owners remain aware of where this essential component is positioned.

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 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. 

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.

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