It’s something many Sydneysiders experience regularly. Be it children forgetting their toys scattered around or that familiar relative turning up unexpectedly at Christmas, leaving you in a tricky situation.

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.
Now and then, and more frequently for certain people, gurgling can be noticed near drains, typically in bathrooms and even around outside sewer overflow spots. It’s critical to handle these issues promptly once they appear, because these common plumbing problems can be solved swiftly!

Clearing branch line blockages, boundary traps, and shaft problems is our forte. At The Pied Plumber, we apply the latest in CCTV drain inspection and high-pressure jet blasting technology to locate and clear blockages with precision, ensuring your drainage system is fully operational.

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!
A shower is just one example. Technically, any hot water fixture can suffer from this. You might get hot water instantly on one end of the home, but at the other end, it seems broken.
The issue typically lies in the pipe size and how far the hot water travels. The greater the distance from the heater to the fixture, the more time and heat loss occurs. Even your local climate can influence how quickly water loses its heat.
When hot water systems suffer from poor pressure, it really amplifies the problem. The good news? We usually find a way to fix or greatly improve the issue.
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.

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 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.
