A plumber for Killara homes and units, at any hour
A leak through the ceiling or a cold hot water unit needs a plumber in Killara who starts with the facts. Our plumber Killara 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.
Which plumbing jobs do Killara homes need?
Killara has houses and blocks of units, so the plumbing differs. These four jobs turn up in both.
Roots in the sewer line
Sydney Water says tree roots can enter small cracks in wastewater pipes. A camera inspection shows whether clearing a blocked drain will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Wet wipes and repeat blockages
Sydney Water says non-flushable wet wipes contribute to 75% of wastewater blockages. Bin them, and book a plumber if a drain keeps backing up.
Leaks behind the walls
A bill that climbs, or a meter that moves with every tap off, points to a leak. Leak detection for hidden pipes traces the source before anything is opened up.
Hot water that runs cold
A unit that runs cold mid-shower needs a repair or a swap. Our repairs to hot water systems cover gas and electric units, and we say when replacing makes more sense.
Which pipes are yours in a Killara house?
Sydney Water says the 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, and you must keep the meter free from damage.
Sydney Water owns the wastewater junction. The owner is responsible for their connection to it. The owner also clears tree roots that enter the junction.
Emergency plumber Killara: any hour, day or night
A burst pipe at midnight or a toilet that overflows on a Sunday can’t wait for the morning. 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.
If sewage is overflowing, Sydney Water takes reports on 13 20 90, which it lists as available 24/7. Call us as well, so a plumber can look at your side of the pipes.
- Turn the water off at the meter or the main tap.
- Switch off the power at the switchboard if water has reached power points or lights.
- Open the lowest tap to drain the pipes and ease the pressure.
- Lift rugs and valuables off the floor, then call us.
Hot water and gas fitting for Killara households
Moving a gas heater, fitting a cooktop or adding a bayonet point is licensed gasfitting work. Our gas fitting work covers new connections, appliance swaps and pressure testing.
A storage hot water unit holds a tank of heated water. An instantaneous unit heats water as it flows through. Both come in gas and electric versions.
If you’re building on bush fire prone land, the NSW Rural Fire Service says above-ground water and gas pipes need to be metal. It also says the home needs its own firefighting water supply, such as a tank, pool or dam.
If you smell gas, get everyone outside and don’t touch switches or appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour.

Does plumbing work in Killara need a certificate or permit?
A Notice of Work applies to work that needs an inspection, and the plumber submits it before starting. NSW describes it as a form that outlines the plumbing and drainage work to be carried out. Emergency work and minor jobs, like replacing tap ware or an existing hot water system, don’t need one.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the work complies with the Act, the Regulation and the Plumbing Code of Australia. NSW says the plumber gives a copy to the person who arranged the work. Keep it with the house papers.
Trees can come into a plumbing job. Ku-ring-gai Council says a tree application must be submitted for any work on trees where an exemption doesn’t apply. That includes trees on a heritage item property or in a heritage conservation area. Check the council’s trees on your property page before cutting anything.
Plumbing in Killara’s apartment blocks and leafy blocks
Killara sits in Ku-ring-gai Council’s area, with Gordon, Lindfield and Pymble. The NSW Electoral Commission’s locality list says so. Council also runs Swain Gardens on Stanhope Road, which it describes as reflecting the character of English gardens in a bushland setting.
Killara homes in the 2021 Census
Source: ABS Census QuickStats. The ABS makes small random changes to figures for privacy.
The Census counted 1,575 flats or apartments and 2,020 separate houses in Killara, so who owns a pipe depends on the building. In a strata scheme, the owners corporation must repair and maintain common property, says the NSW Government. Pipes are on its list of examples. Owners look after anything within their own property.
