Licensed plumbers for Chatswood units and houses
A leak through a unit ceiling or a hot water system gone cold needs a licensed plumber in Chatswood. Our plumber Chatswood team takes calls at any hour, for apartments, townhouses and detached homes.
Each job is priced before work starts, and the price holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, so we quote the visit first.
What plumbing problems do Chatswood homes and units have?
The 2021 Census counted 6,442 flats or apartments among Chatswood’s 9,524 occupied homes. Whose pipe is leaking decides who repairs it, so it’s worth knowing the split. Here are four jobs we’re called to.
Blocked drains
A slow sink or a gurgling floor waste points to a blockage in the line. A camera inspection shows whether a clean will last or the pipe needs repair. Our drain clearing service handles both the clean and the camera work.
Leaks you can’t see
A climbing water bill or a ceiling stain can mean a pipe is leaking out of sight. We start with tracing a hidden leak before anything is opened up.
Hot water that gives out
A unit that goes cold mid-shower is either repairable or at the end of its life. Our hot water repair work covers gas and electric units, and we tell you when replacement makes more sense.
Taps and toilets that run on
A tap that drips overnight wastes water around the clock. So does a cistern that keeps topping up. A worn washer or a stuck float valve is the usual cause.
A water meter that keeps moving with every tap and appliance off points to a leak. Turn everything off and watch the dial for a few minutes.
Who owns which pipes in a Chatswood home?
Sydney Water says the property owner is normally responsible for private drinking water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to its services. It owns the water main and the water meter at your property. The Sydney Water ownership guide has diagrams of where its responsibility starts.
Emergency plumber Chatswood: call at any time of day or night
A burst hose behind a washing machine 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 the tap that shuts off the water to your home before you need it. If the water is coming from common property, tell your strata manager or committee as well.
- Turn the water off at the main tap or the isolation valve.
- Switch off the power at the switchboard if water has reached power points or lights.
- Open the lowest tap to drain the pipes.
- Call us, and keep the area clear until the plumber arrives.
Gas fitting and hot water for Chatswood kitchens and bathrooms
Moving a gas heater, fitting a cooktop or adding a bayonet point is licensed work. It’s tested before the appliance is used. Our gas fitting team handles new connections, appliance swaps and pressure testing.
A storage hot water unit heats a tank of water and keeps it ready. An instantaneous unit heats water only as it flows through. Both come in gas and electric models.
If you smell gas, leave the home and keep away from switches and appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour.

Does plumbing work in Chatswood need a notice or a certificate?
Work that needs an inspection starts with a Notice of Work. That’s the form listing the plumbing and drainage work and who’s doing it. The plumber submits it before starting. NSW says a Notice of Work doesn’t need to be supplied for emergency work and minor works, like replacing tap ware and existing hot water systems.
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 your records. NSW explains plumbing inspection documents on its site.
Plumbing in Chatswood’s apartments, townhouses and houses
Chatswood is one of the localities the NSW Electoral Commission lists for Willoughby City Council. Artarmon is on the same list, and our Artarmon plumbers work there.
Chatswood homes in the 2021 Census

Most Chatswood homes are units, so a leak can be the owner’s job or the building’s. In a separate house, the owner is normally responsible for the pipes up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services.
Plumber Chatswood: who repairs which pipe in a strata building?
| Where the problem is. | Who repairs it. | What to do first. |
|---|---|---|
| Plumbing in internal walls, and fixtures like baths, toilets, sinks and showers. | The lot owner. | Book a licensed plumber. |
| Plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor. | The owners corporation. | Report it to your strata manager or committee. |
| Water damage coming from common property. | The owners corporation. | Report it, and stop the water if you can. |
| Water damage coming from inside your own unit. | The lot owner. | Turn the water off, then call us. |
That table follows the NSW Government strata repairs guide. If you can’t tell which row applies, it says to check your strata plan and by-laws. It also says tenants should contact their real estate agent or landlord. In 2021, 4,778 Chatswood homes were rented.
Willoughby City Council describes Spring Street as the main walking path between Chatswood Chase and Westfield. A backflow prevention device is a valve that stops water flowing backwards into the mains supply. Our plumber Chatswood team also looks after these devices and water meter connections for homes and businesses.
We also look after Naremburn, Castlecrag and Northbridge. See the other suburbs our North Shore plumbers cover.
