Licensed plumbers for Kogarah units and houses, day or night
A leak into the unit below, a hot water system gone cold or a gurgling laundry drain needs a licensed plumber in Kogarah. Our plumber Kogarah team takes calls at any hour, for units, townhouses and houses.
Each job gets a price before we start, and that price holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, so we quote your visit first.
What plumbing problems do Kogarah owners face?
The 2021 Census counted 4,377 flats or apartments among Kogarah’s 6,149 occupied homes. Four jobs come up again and again in buildings and houses like these.
Leaks between units
A stain on a ceiling or a damp wall can start in the bathroom upstairs or in a pipe inside the wall. We use leak detection for hidden pipes to find the source before anything is opened up.
Slow and blocked drains
A shower or laundry that drains slowly points to a blockage in the pipe behind it. A camera inspection shows whether clearing a blocked drain will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Hot water that gives out
A unit that runs cold partway through a shower needs a repair or a replacement. We handle repairs to hot water systems and tell you when replacement makes more sense.
Taps and cisterns that keep running
A tap that drips or a cistern that never stops refilling wastes water and lifts the bill. A worn washer or a stuck float valve is the usual cause.
Who looks after which pipes in Kogarah?
If your home is connected to Sydney Water, the owner is normally responsible for private water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to its services. Its pipe ownership guide shows where that point sits.
A strata building adds a second layer. NSW says the owners corporation looks after common property, and owners repair anything inside their own lot. If it’s unclear whose pipe it is, check your strata plan and by-laws.
Emergency plumber Kogarah: any hour, day or night
A burst hose at midnight or a toilet that overflows on a Sunday can’t wait for opening hours. Call 1300 164 206 and a licensed plumber answers. Evening and weekend rates differ, and you get the price before we start. Here is how our emergency plumbing callouts work.
Find your main tap before you need it. In an apartment block, ask your strata manager where the valve for your lot is.
- Turn the water off at 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.
- If the water is coming through to a neighbour, tell them and your strata manager, then call us.
Gas fitting and hot water for Kogarah households
Moving a gas heater, fitting a new 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 keeps a tank of heated water ready. An instantaneous unit heats water as it flows through. Both come in gas and electric versions.
If you smell gas, get everyone out and don’t touch switches or appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour.

Does plumbing work in Kogarah need a certificate?
Some of it does. A plumber submits a Notice of Work before starting any job 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 finished work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. Ask your plumber for a copy and keep it with the property papers.

Kogarah homes in the 2021 Census

Flats and apartments make up 71.2% of Kogarah’s occupied homes, so many jobs start with one question: is it the owner’s pipe or the owners corporation’s? In 2021, 2,975 homes were rented. If Sydney Water serves a rented home, it says the property owner is normally responsible for the private pipes up to where they connect to its services.
Plumber Kogarah: who fixes the leak?
| Where the pipe is | Who looks after it | First step |
|---|---|---|
| Plumbing in internal walls, or a bath, toilet, sink or shower in your lot | The lot owner | Book a licensed plumber. |
| Plumbing in a boundary wall or under the floor | The owners corporation | Tell your strata manager. |
| A house’s private pipes, up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services (if it serves your home) | The property owner | Have a licensed plumber repair them. |
