Licensed plumbers for Hurstville units and houses
A burst pipe, a blocked drain or a cold shower needs a licensed plumber in Hurstville, and our team takes calls at any hour.
Our plumber Hurstville crew works on apartments and houses alike. You get the price before we start, and it’s fixed once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, and we quote the price first.
What plumbing problems turn up in Hurstville?
Hurstville has more flats than houses. The 2021 Census counted 6,467 flats or apartments among 10,530 occupied homes, against 3,164 separate houses. Four jobs come up in both.
Blocked and slow drains
A sink that drains slowly or a floor waste that gurgles points to a blockage. Our blocked drain work clears the line.
Dripping taps and running toilets
A tap that drips all night or a cistern that never stops filling wastes water and lifts the bill. A worn washer or cartridge is a common cause, and our dripping tap repairs deal with it.
Hot water that fails
A unit that runs cold or leaks from the base needs a look before it gives out. We handle hot water repairs on gas and electric units.
Leaks you can’t see
A damp patch on a wall or a meter that keeps turning points to a hidden leak. We use non-invasive leak tracing before anything is opened up.
Signs of a hidden leak
- A water bill that rises when nobody is using more
- A water meter that keeps moving with every tap off
- Paint that bubbles or a musty smell near a bathroom wall
- A wet patch on a ceiling below a bathroom or laundry
Which pipes are yours in Hurstville?
If Sydney Water serves your home, it says it owns and maintains the water main, usually under the street or footpath, and the water meter at your property. It also says the owner is normally responsible for private water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to its services. Sydney Water sets out who owns what.
If Sydney Water serves your home, it owns the sewer junction and the owner is responsible for their connection to it. The owner also clears tree roots that enter the junction at the point of connection, as its repairs guide explains. If you live in a strata building, the strata rules below apply as well.
Emergency plumber Hurstville: any hour, day or night
A burst pipe doesn’t check the clock. 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.
While you wait, turn the water off at the meter if you can reach it. In a strata building, tell your strata manager or committee if the leak comes from common property. NSW Government strata guidance says so.
If a pipe bursts:
- Turn the water off at the meter or the isolation valve.
- Switch off the power at the board if water is near lights or power points.
- Open the taps to drain the pipes and ease the pressure.
- Call us, and keep the area clear until we arrive.
Our emergency plumbing team covers burst pipes, overflowing drains and failed hot water units around the clock.
Gas fitting and hot water for Hurstville homes
Cooktops, heaters and instantaneous hot water units all run on gas in some homes. Whether the supply is mains or bottled, a licensed gasfitter has to make the connection and test it before the appliance is used.
Our licensed gas fitting service covers new connections, appliance swaps and pressure testing. If you ever smell gas, leave the house, don’t touch light switches or appliances, and call us from outside.
When a hot water unit keeps failing, we tell you when replacement makes more sense than another repair.

Do I need approval for plumbing work in Hurstville?
It depends on the job. A Notice of Work is the form a plumber submits before starting work that needs an inspection. It isn’t needed for emergency work or minor works, such as replacing tap ware or an existing hot water system, says NSW Government guidance. The NSW plumbing inspection page has the detail.
When the work is finished, a Certificate of Compliance confirms it meets the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. The plumber gives a copy to the person who arranged the work.

Hurstville homes in the 2021 Census
Source: ABS Census QuickStats. The ABS makes small random changes to figures for privacy.
The Census also counted 1,054 unoccupied private dwellings, 9.1% of the total. Of the 10,530 occupied homes, 4,993 were rented. A rented home still has an owner. If Sydney Water serves it, Sydney Water says the property owner is normally responsible for the private pipes up to where they connect to its services.
Who repairs what in a Hurstville strata building?
Six in ten occupied homes are flats. If your flat is in a strata building, NSW Government guidance says property owners repair and maintain anything within their property, and the owners corporation looks after common property. If you rent, the guidance says to contact your real estate agent or landlord.
Plumber Hurstville: whose pipe is it?
| Where the problem is | Who looks after it | First step |
|---|---|---|
| Pipes in internal walls, and baths, toilets, sinks and showers | The owner of the unit | Book a licensed plumber. |
| Pipes in boundary walls or under the floor | The owners corporation | Tell your strata manager or committee. |
| The water main and meter, if Sydney Water serves your home | Sydney Water | Report it to Sydney Water. |
| Private wastewater pipe up to the connection | The property owner | Have a licensed plumber inspect the line. |
If the answer isn’t clear, the guidance says to check your strata plan and by-laws.
