Licensed plumbers for Cammeray flats, terraces and houses
A dripping pipe in a Cammeray flat, a blocked drain at a terrace or a hot water unit gone cold needs a licensed plumber. Our plumber Cammeray team answers at any hour and works across the suburb.
We agree the price before work starts, and it holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, so we quote the price first.
Which plumbing jobs come up most in Cammeray?
The 2021 Census counted 1,819 flats or apartments among Cammeray’s 3,054 occupied homes. Here are four plumbing jobs we handle.
Drains that gurgle or back up
A slow kitchen or bathroom drain is the first warning. A camera inspection shows whether clearing a blocked drain will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Leaks behind walls and ceilings
A damp ceiling patch or a bill that keeps climbing points to a pipe leaking out of sight. In a flat, who pays depends on where the pipe runs, so we start with tracing the hidden leak.
Hot water that runs cold
A unit that goes cold halfway through a shower needs a repair or a replacement. We handle hot water unit repairs on gas and electric models, and tell you when replacing it makes more sense.
Taps and toilets that won’t stop
A tap that drips or a cistern that keeps refilling wastes water and lifts the bill. A worn washer or a stuck float valve is the usual cause.
Which pipes belong to the owner at a Cammeray home?
Sydney Water says the owner is normally responsible for private drinking water and wastewater systems. That runs up to where they connect to its services. Sydney Water owns the water main and the meter at your property.
Sydney Water also asks owners to avoid planting trees within 6 metres of wastewater pipes. Check where your pipes run first.
Emergency plumber Cammeray: any hour, day or night
A burst pipe or an overflowing toilet can’t wait for office hours. Call 1300 164 206 and a licensed plumber answers, day or night. Our emergency plumbing team quotes the price first, and evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates.
- Turn off the tap feeding the leak, or the main tap if you can reach it.
- Switch off the power at the switchboard if water is near power points or lights.
- Lift rugs, electronics and valuables clear of the water.
- Call us at any hour and keep the area clear until we arrive.
If a wastewater pipe is overflowing, Sydney Water asks you to call its faults line on 13 20 90, which it lists as open 24/7.
Hot water and gas fitting for Cammeray apartments and homes
A storage unit heats a tank and keeps it hot. An instantaneous unit heats water only as it flows. Either type can run on gas or electricity.
In a strata building, first work out where the fault sits. NSW Government says that in most cases the owner looks after plumbing in internal walls and fixtures, such as baths, toilets, sinks and showers. The owners corporation looks after plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor.
On the same list, water damage coming from common property is the owners corporation’s, and damage coming from inside your property is the owner’s. NSW Government adds that schemes classify common property differently, so check your strata plan and by-laws.
Moving a gas heater or fitting a new cooktop is gas fitting work, and our licence covers it. If you smell gas, get everyone out, don’t touch switches or appliances, and call us from outside at any hour.
A family business with a licence behind every job
Aussie Home Services is family owned and has worked across Sydney since 2009. Our plumber Cammeray team works under NSW contractor licence 273594C, which covers plumbing, gasfitting and draining, and we’re fully insured.
Once you approve the price, it’s fixed. If the job changes, we stop and talk it through first. No call-out fee applies when the booking is for the following day or later. Our Lifetime Labour Guarantee covers labour if our workmanship causes a failure and the work is defective, but not parts.

Do I need approval for plumbing work in Cammeray?
Plumbing has its own paperwork. A plumber submits a Notice of Work before starting work that needs an inspection. NSW Government says emergency work and minor works don’t need one. Replacing tap ware or an existing hot water system counts as minor.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. Ask for a copy and keep it with your strata or house records.
North Sydney Council says that for all buildings in conservation areas, the listing focuses on the external envelope of buildings, gardens and site structures. Its interactive maps have an LEP 2013 layer for finding listed heritage properties, so check there before you plan external work.
How Cammeray’s housing shapes the plumbing work
North Sydney Council describes Tunks Park as one of its largest parks. It runs from the Long Bay foreshore under the Cammeray Suspension Bridge to Flat Rock Gully Reserve. Council’s page for Cammeray Park describes the Cammeray Dam and fountain there as a stormwater reuse project.

Flats make up most of Cammeray’s occupied homes, so who looks after a pipe depends on where it runs. The same owner rule applies to the 1,260 rented homes: the owner is normally responsible for the private pipes up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services.
