Plumber Gordon
Blocked drains, leaks, hot water and gas fitting in Gordon houses and apartments, fixed by licensed local plumbers who quote first.
Licensed plumbing for Gordon houses and apartments, day or night
A leak through a ceiling, a toilet that won’t stop running or a hot water unit gone cold needs a licensed plumber in Gordon. Our plumber Gordon team takes calls at any hour, for houses and apartments alike.
We price each job before we start, and the price holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, and we quote the price first.
What plumbing problems come up in Gordon homes?
The 2021 Census counted 1,546 flats or apartments and 1,448 separate houses among Gordon’s 3,199 occupied homes. Each kind has its own plumbing jobs.
Slow and blocked drains
Sydney Water says non-flushable wet wipes contribute to 75% of wastewater blockages, and tree roots can enter small cracks in a pipe. We handle clearing a blocked drain, and a cracked pipe needs repair.
Leaks behind walls and under floors
A rising water bill or a damp patch on a wall points to a pipe leaking out of sight. We use leak detection for hidden pipes before anything is opened up.
Hot water that gives out
A unit that runs cold partway through a shower needs a repair or a replacement. We handle hot water system repairs.
Taps and toilets that keep running
A cistern that refills every few minutes or a tap that weeps overnight pushes up the water bill. The fault is frequently a perished washer or a worn inlet valve.
Who owns which pipes in Gordon?
Sydney Water says the property owner is normally responsible for private water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to its services. It owns the water main and the meter at your property, and you must keep the meter free from damage.

- Turn the water off at the main tap, or at the isolation tap under the basin or sink if the leak is local.
- Switch off the power at the switchboard if water has reached power points or lights.
- In an apartment, tell your strata manager if the water is coming from common property.
- Call us, and move valuables off the floor.
If wastewater is overflowing, on your property or in a public place, call Sydney Water’s faults line on 13 20 90. It runs 24 hours a day.
Gas fitting and hot water for Gordon kitchens and bathrooms
Fitting a gas cooktop, moving a heater or adding a bayonet point is licensed gasfitting work. 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.
If you smell gas, get everyone outside and keep clear of switches and appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour.

Do I need approval for plumbing work in Gordon?
Plumbing has its own paperwork. A plumber submits a Notice of Work to Building Commission NSW before starting work that needs an inspection. NSW lists emergency work and minor works, such as replacing tap ware or an existing hot water system, as cases where one isn’t needed.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. The plumber gives a copy to the person who arranged the work, so keep it with your house or building records.

Flats outnumbered separate houses in Gordon in 2021. In a flat, who owns a pipe depends on where it runs. NSW Government’s strata repairs guide says 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.
Plumber Gordon: who deals with a leak in a flat?
| What’s happening | Who is responsible | First step |
|---|---|---|
| A leak from a bath, toilet, sink or shower fitting | The owner | Call a licensed plumber. |
| A pipe leaks inside a boundary wall or under the floor | The owners corporation | Tell your strata manager or committee. |
| Water damage comes from common property | The owners corporation | Report it to your strata manager. |
| Water damage comes from inside your own unit | The owner | Isolate the leak, then call a plumber. |
If you can’t tell whose pipe it is, the guide says to check your strata plan and by-laws. Tenants should ask their landlord.
For houses, Sydney Water asks owners to avoid planting trees within 6 metres of wastewater pipes. The owner also clears any tree roots that enter the junction at the point of connection.
We also take jobs in Killara, Pymble, Turramurra and Roseville. See the other suburbs our North Shore plumbers cover.
