A licensed plumber for Botany houses and apartments, day or night
A leaking mixer under the sink or a hot water unit gone cold needs a licensed plumber in Botany. Our plumber Botany team takes calls at any hour, for houses, townhouses and apartments.
Every job gets a price before we start, and that price holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, and we quote the price first.
Which plumbing jobs come up in Botany homes and units?
The 2021 Census counted 4,748 occupied homes in Botany. Flats and apartments made up 50.5% of them, against 21.7% across New South Wales. Here are four common plumbing jobs in homes like these.
Hidden pipe leaks
A stained ceiling or a damp wall points to a leak out of sight. So does a water meter that keeps turning with every tap off. Hidden leak detection locates the leak before anything is opened up.
Slow and blocked drains
Sydney Water lists unflushable items, fats, oils and grease, and tree roots among the causes of blockages. A camera inspection can show whether drain clearing will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Hot water that runs cold
A unit that gives out halfway through a shower needs a repair or a replacement. We handle hot water repairs.
Dripping taps and running cisterns
A worn washer or a stuck float valve wastes water around the clock. A quick job like fixing a dripping tap stops it.
Which pipes are yours in a Botany house?
Sydney Water says the property owner is normally responsible for private drinking water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to its services. Its pipe ownership guide shows where your side starts and ends.
Sydney Water owns the sewer junction, but the owner clears any tree roots that enter it at the point of connection. It also asks owners to avoid planting trees within 6 metres of wastewater pipes.
Emergency plumber Botany: any hour, day or night
A burst pipe or a toilet that’s overflowing won’t wait for opening hours. Call 1300 164 206 at any hour and a licensed plumber answers. Evening and weekend rates differ, and you get the price before we start.
- Turn the water off at the main tap, or at the valve for your unit.
- Switch off the power at the switchboard if water has reached power points or lights.
- Open the lowest tap to drain the pipes and ease the pressure.
- In an apartment, tell your strata manager if water is coming through a ceiling or wall.
Some overflows start in Sydney Water’s pipes. Its blockage guide says that’s likely if the overflow shows beyond your property boundary, such as from a maintenance hole on public land. It’s also likely if your neighbours have the same problem. Sydney Water takes reports on 13 20 90, 24 hours a day.
Gas fitting and hot water for Botany households
A new gas connection, a swapped cooktop or a relocated heater is work for a licensed gasfitter. Our licensed gas fitting service covers new connections, appliance swaps and pressure testing.
A storage hot water unit keeps a tank of water heated and ready. An instantaneous unit heats water only as it flows through. Both come in gas and electric versions. Which one suits depends on your household.
If you smell gas, get everyone outside and don’t touch switches or appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour.

Do I need approval for plumbing work in Botany?
Plumbing work has its own paperwork. NSW says a plumber submits a Notice of Work before starting work that needs an inspection. Emergency work and minor works, such as replacing tap ware or an existing hot water system, don’t need one.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the finished work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. Ask for your copy and file it with the house papers.
Council rules are separate. Bayside Council’s development control plan says the Botany Local Centre, along Botany Road, makes up the majority of the Botany Township Heritage Conservation Area. The plan has a heritage section for properties inside a conservation area, so check with the council before you plan work on a heritage property.
Plumbing in Botany’s flats, townhouses and houses
Bayside Council’s information guide lists Botany among its suburbs. The council’s plan for the area calls Botany Town Hall a heritage item at the southern end of the local centre.

In a strata scheme, who fixes a leaking pipe depends on where it sits.
Plumber Botany: who fixes the leak in a strata building?
| Where the leak is | Who repairs it | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A pipe in an internal wall or under a sink, bath or toilet | The owner | Book a licensed plumber. |
| Plumbing in a boundary wall or under the floor | The owners corporation | Tell your strata manager or committee. |
| Water coming from common property | The owners corporation | Report it to your strata manager. |
| A leak in a rented unit | Tenants ask their landlord | Contact your landlord or agent. |
The NSW Government’s strata repairs page says to check your strata plan and by-laws when it isn’t clear who should make a repair. That’s general information, not legal advice.
We also look after Eastlakes, Pagewood, Matraville and Port Botany. Our plumbers in the Eastern Suburbs cover the rest of the region too.

A licensed plumber looks at the fault and gives you a fixed price before starting. If something changes the job, we stop and talk it through first. Tell us if the leak is in a shared wall or the floor, because that can make it the owners corporation’s repair.
It depends on where the pipe sits. The NSW Government’s strata page lists plumbing in internal walls and fixtures as the owner’s job. It lists plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor as the owners corporation’s.
The owner is normally responsible for private water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services. Sydney Water owns the junction, but you’re responsible for your connection to it. Only a licensed plumber should repair private pipes.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the finished work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. A Notice of Work is submitted first for any job that needs an inspection.
