Plumber Enmore
Blocked drains, leaks, hot water and gas fitting, fixed by licensed local plumbers who quote the price first.
A licensed plumber for Enmore terraces and apartments
A blocked drain in a terrace or a leak through a flat’s ceiling needs a licensed plumber in Enmore. Our plumber Enmore team takes calls at any hour and works on homes, units and businesses.
Each 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. A backflow prevention device is a valve that stops water flowing backwards into the mains supply. We also look after these devices and water meter connections.
What plumbing problems do Enmore homes have?
The 2021 Census counted 738 semi-detached, row or terrace houses, 516 flats or apartments and 277 separate houses in Enmore. Here are four jobs that come up in homes like these.
Blocked drains
Grease, wipes and tree roots all block drains. We handle blocked drain clearing.
Cracked sewer pipes
A cracked or root-damaged pipe can be repaired from the inside with a resin liner, so there’s little digging. Read about our pipe relining service.
Hidden leaks
A water bill that climbs or a damp patch on a wall points to a leak out of sight. We use leak detection for hidden pipes before anything is opened up.
Taps and toilets that run
A tap that drips or a toilet that keeps refilling wastes water. A worn washer is one cause, and a stuck float valve in the cistern is another.
You can test for a leak yourself. Turn off every tap and appliance, then watch the water meter. If the dial still moves, water is escaping somewhere.
Who looks after which pipes in Enmore?
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 line falls.
Sydney Water also says water mains and meters are usually its responsibility, and that you may share services with other properties. It says each owner who shares a joint private service is responsible for it.
Emergency plumber Enmore: any hour, day or night
A burst pipe at midnight or a flooded laundry on a Sunday can’t wait. Call 1300 164 206 and our emergency plumbing team answers. Evening and weekend rates differ, and you get the price before we start.
Find your shut-off valve before you need it. If you live in a unit and can’t find one, call us, then tell your strata manager.
- Turn the water off at the main tap or 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.
- Lift valuables off the floor, then call us.
Gas fitting and hot water for Enmore households
Replacing a gas cooktop or moving a heater needs a licensed gasfitter. Our plumber Enmore team does gas fitting for new connections, appliance swaps and pressure tests.
A storage hot water system keeps a tank of heated water ready. An instantaneous system heats water as it flows through. Both come in gas and electric versions, and we do hot water system repairs on either.
If you smell gas, get everyone outside and don’t touch switches. Call us from outside, at any hour.

Do I need approval for plumbing work in Enmore?
Plumbing has its own paperwork. NSW Government says a Notice of Work is a form that outlines the plumbing work to be carried out, and plumbers submit one before starting work that needs an inspection.
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 house papers.
Inner West Council publishes conservation area statements for areas in Enmore, including King Street and Enmore Road and Llewellyn Estate. If your home is on a site with heritage significance, council says works that alter external or internal built elements need consent. Its heritage and development guide says to contact the Duty Planning Service before any work starts, to ask whether consent is required.
