Licensed plumbers for Burwood flats and houses, day or night
A leaking tap in a flat or a hot water unit that’s gone cold needs a licensed plumber in Burwood. Our plumber Burwood team takes calls at any hour, for units and houses alike.
Every job gets a price before we start, and that price holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, so we quote the price first.
What plumbing problems come up in Burwood flats and houses?
The 2021 Census counted 4,536 flats or apartments in Burwood, alongside 1,427 separate houses. Here are four jobs that come up in homes like these.
Slow and blocked drains
A slow basin points to a blocked trap. Several fixtures gurgling together point to the line they share. Our plumbers handle blocked drain clearing in flats and houses.
Leaks behind walls and ceilings
A water stain on a ceiling can start in the flat above, and a damp wall can start at a pipe inside it. Finding the source comes first, then who’s responsible for the repair.
Hot water that runs cold
A unit that leaks, runs cold or keeps tripping out needs a repair or a replacement. We handle hot water repairs on gas and electric units.
Taps and toilets that keep running
A tap that drips after you turn it off, or a toilet that keeps refilling, wastes water and adds to the bill. The cause is usually a worn washer, cartridge or float valve.
To test for a hidden leak, turn off every tap and appliance and watch the water meter dial. If it still moves, water is escaping somewhere on the property.
Who looks after which pipes in Burwood?
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 that point sits. In a flat, who repairs a pipe depends on where it runs, and the table further down sets it out.
Emergency plumber Burwood: any hour, day or night
A burst pipe or an overflowing toilet 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.
Find your main tap before you need it. If you can’t find it in a flat, ask your strata manager where the building’s shut-off valves are.
- Turn the water off at the main tap.
- Switch off the power at the switchboard if water has reached power points or lights.
- Move rugs and valuables off the floor.
- Call us, and tell your strata manager if water is heading toward a neighbour’s unit.
Gas fitting and hot water for Burwood units, terraces and houses
A new cooktop, a moved heater or an extra bayonet point is gasfitting work, and it needs a licensed gasfitter. Our gas fitting service covers new connections, appliance swaps and pressure testing.
A storage hot water unit keeps a tank of heated water ready. An instantaneous unit heats the water as it flows through. Both come in gas and electric versions, so size the unit to the household and check the space it has to fit in.
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 Burwood?
Plumbing work comes with its own paperwork. A Notice of Work applies to plumbing work that needs an inspection. NSW says 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 keep it with the building or house papers.

In a strata building, the NSW Government says owners must repair anything within their property. The owners corporation or strata committee must repair common property. Its list of who repairs what starts with the words “in most cases”. If the answer isn’t clear, check your strata repairs guide, your strata plan and your by-laws.
Plumber Burwood: who repairs what in a strata building?
| Plumbing issue | Who repairs it, in most cases | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Plumbing in internal walls, and fixtures such as baths, toilets, sinks and showers | The owner | Call a licensed plumber. |
| Plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor | The owners corporation | Report it to the strata manager or committee. |
| Water damage coming from inside your property | The owner | Stop the leak, then call a licensed plumber. |
| Water damage coming from common property | The owners corporation | Report it to the strata manager or committee. |
