Licensed plumbers for Auburn units, houses and businesses
A ceiling stain, a drain that won’t clear or a cold hot water unit needs a licensed plumber in Auburn. Our plumber Auburn team takes calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
You get a price before we start, and it holds once you approve it. Quotes are free. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, and we quote the price first.
Flats and apartments outnumber separate houses in Auburn, according to the 2021 Census. That changes who repairs a pipe, so this page covers both.
Which plumbing problems do Auburn homes and units run into?
A unit and a house fail in different places, but the symptoms look alike. These are four jobs we get called to.
Drains that gurgle or back up
A slow sink or a gurgling floor waste points to a blockage. A camera inspection shows whether clearing a blocked drain will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Leaks you can’t see
A stain that spreads on a wall or a bill that climbs for no clear reason can mean a hidden leak. We use leak detection for hidden pipes before anything is opened up.
Hot water that runs out
A unit that turns cold mid-shower needs a repair or a swap. We handle repairs to hot water systems and tell you when replacement makes more sense.
Taps and toilets that won’t stop
A dripping tap or a cistern that keeps refilling wastes water and lifts the bill. A worn washer or a stuck float valve is the usual cause.
Whose pipes are they in Auburn?
If your home connects to Sydney Water, the owner is normally responsible for private water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services. Its pipe ownership guide shows where that point sits.
The same guide says you mustn’t let rainwater or stormwater into your wastewater system. Sydney Water also owns the water main and the meter at your property, and you must keep the meter free from damage.
Emergency plumber Auburn: any hour, day or night
A pipe that bursts on a Saturday night or a toilet that floods at 3 am can’t wait for business hours. Call 1300 164 206 and a licensed plumber answers. Evening and weekend rates differ, and you get the price before we start.
Our emergency plumbing service is on call across Auburn. Find your main tap before you need it. In a unit block, NSW Government guidance says to notify your building manager, strata manager or strata committee about common property that needs repair.
- Turn the water off at the main tap.
- Switch off the power at the switchboard if water has reached power points or lights.
- Open the lowest tap in the home to drain the pipes.
- In a unit block, tell your building manager or strata manager, then call us.
Gas fitting and hot water for Auburn households
Connecting a gas cooktop or moving a heater is work for a licensed gasfitter. Our gas plumbing team does new connections, appliance swaps and pressure tests.
Hot water systems come in two main types. A storage system heats a tank and holds the water ready, while an instantaneous system heats water only when a tap opens. Either type runs on gas or electricity.
If you smell gas, leave the building and don’t touch switches or appliances. Call us from outside at any hour.

Does plumbing work in Auburn need a notice or a certificate?
A Notice of Work applies to plumbing that needs an inspection. NSW Government says emergency work and minor works don’t need one. Examples are replacing tap ware or an existing hot water system, and a bathroom renovation where the fixtures stay put.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. The plumbing inspection documents page says a copy goes to the person who arranged the work.
Plumbing in Auburn’s flats and houses
The NSW Electoral Commission lists Auburn among the localities that the Cumberland council area includes, partly or wholly. The 2021 Census counted both flats and houses in large numbers, so who looks after a pipe depends on the building.
Auburn homes in the 2021 Census
Source: ABS Census QuickStats. The ABS makes small random changes to figures for privacy.
The Census also counted 1,102 semi-detached, row or terrace homes and townhouses. A rented home still has an owner. If Sydney Water serves the home, the owner is normally responsible for the pipes up to where they connect to its services.
Who repairs what in an Auburn strata building?
Strata schemes include apartments, townhouses, villas and many duplexes. NSW Government guidance says who repairs what in most cases. If the answer isn’t clear, check your strata plan and by-laws.
Plumber Auburn: strata plumbing repairs
| Plumbing item | Looked after by | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Pipes in internal walls, and fixtures such as sinks, toilets and showers | The owner | Book a licensed plumber. |
| Pipes in boundary walls and under the floor | The owners corporation | Tell your strata manager or committee. |
| Water damage coming from inside your property | The owner | Have the source fixed by a licensed plumber. |
| Water damage coming from common property | The owners corporation | Tell your strata manager or committee. |
Tenants in a strata building should ask their landlord for repairs, the same guidance says.
Backflow prevention is another owner duty if Sydney Water serves the property. A backflow prevention device is a valve, air gap or break tank that stops used water flowing back into Sydney Water’s pipes. Sydney Water says the owner must make sure the right one is installed. It also says an accredited backflow plumber must test high and medium hazard devices every year.
We also take jobs in Granville, Guildford, Merrylands and Holroyd. Our plumbers in Sydney cover other suburbs in the region too.
