Who we are
The team behind
our Eastwood work
Licensed plumbers who work both sides of the line, and who would rather tell you the constraint is downstream than sell you a repair to a system that is behaving normally.

Ring us and a plumber answers. Nobody is writing your details down to hand to whichever van is free that afternoon, which is why there are no mystery invoices here and no vague promise that somebody will get to you eventually.
We are on these streets constantly, and the thing that matters most locally is knowing that a property's behaviour in a downpour has as much to do with where it sits relative to the rail corridor as with anything on the block itself.
The licence number, the insurance and a price you have approved are all attached to the job before it starts. And where the honest answer is that this will keep until business hours and cost you less, that is the answer you get.
NSW Plumbing Licence 368473C, and every job here meets the Australian Standards, water and gas alike. Unlicensed plumbing is illegal in NSW and voids your home insurance, so it is worth asking anybody for a number before they begin. Ours sits on every quote.
Insured for public liability and for workmanship, and members of the Master Plumbers Association NSW. Repairs go in to code and carry a lifetime workmanship warranty you get in writing.
The Google reviews shown here belong to Dr Leak Plumbing, our sister plumbing brand: same owners, same licensed crews, same vans. Genuine reviews under another name beat invented ones under this one.
A licensed plumber with more than ten years of Sydney work behind him started this in 2020. One van became a team, and none of the standards moved on the way: arrive when you said, put the price up first, leave the place as you found it.
The rule that matters most here is about not selling somebody a fault. A property that takes water only in the heaviest storms and then drains is telling you something about the ground downstream, not about its own pipework, and saying so costs us a job and keeps a customer.
“If the honest answer is that nothing on your property is broken, that is the answer you should get.”
One piece of geography explains most of what we get called to. The town centre straddles the Main Northern Railway Line, and its western portion sits in the depression that forms the Terrys Creek floodplain.
Water crossing the suburb has to pass it at a handful of culverts and pits rather than on a broad front, which is a capacity limit no householder can see or influence.
It confirms substantial flood problems in the western part of the town centre, and the measures considered are all about getting water through: inlet pits in Brabyn Street, the culvert in Jim Walsh Park, a detention basin.
Distance from a watercourse is the thing people reach for. Position relative to the constriction is the thing that decides how a property behaves.
A property that takes water only in the largest events and then drains is downstream of a restriction. One that takes water in ordinary rain has its own problem, and those need different answers.
The orchards were subdivided from the late 1940s, and bathrooms of that era were set out for the fittings of the day, so a modern vanity rarely lands where the waste expects.
Sydney's supply is soft. A storage unit that has given up here has almost always lost its sacrificial anode or an element.
Call at two in the morning and the person answering can drive out, rather than logging it for somebody to read at eight. In a real emergency what you do at the meter in the first half minute counts for most, so we talk you through it while the van is moving.
Pits, downpipes, ground levels and the line leaving the property are yours. The corridor and the public drainage are not, and we will say which you are dealing with.
A number goes up for approval before any tool is lifted, and that number is what you settle. Nothing ticking hourly, no Sunday surcharge at the end, nothing on the bill you had not already heard.
Footage from the line, a reading from the meter, a photograph of what was found. On a property where the question is whether a fault exists at all, that is the difference between a diagnosis and an opinion.
