A licensed plumber for Lidcombe apartments and houses
A leak through a ceiling or a drain that won’t clear needs a licensed plumber in Lidcombe. Our plumber Lidcombe team takes calls at any hour, for houses and apartments alike.
We price every job before work starts, and the price is fixed once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, and we quote your visit first.
Which plumbing problems do Lidcombe households run into?
The 2021 Census counted 3,484 flats or apartments and 3,021 separate houses in Lidcombe. The jobs look different in each, but these four turn up in both.
Drains that won’t clear
Grease, wipes and tree roots all stop a drain. We handle drain clearing and repairs for sinks, showers and sewer lines.
Leaks out of sight
A damp wall or a water bill that keeps climbing points to a pipe leaking behind the finish. We use hidden leak detection before anything is cut open.
Hot water that runs out
A unit that goes cold halfway through a shower needs repair or replacement. We look after hot water repairs on gas and electric units.
Taps and toilets that run on
A dripping tap or a cistern that never stops filling wastes water. A worn washer or a stuck float valve is the common culprit.
A water meter that keeps turning with every tap off points to a leak. Switch everything off. Then watch the dial for a few minutes.
Who looks after which pipes?
Sydney Water says the owner is normally responsible for private drinking water and wastewater pipes. That runs up to where they connect to its services. Its pipe ownership guide shows where the line falls.
Sydney Water calls a pipe that also serves other properties a joint service. Each owner who shares one is responsible for it. If you think you share a pipe, ask a licensed plumber to trace it.
Emergency plumber Lidcombe: any hour, day or night
A burst pipe at midnight can’t wait for opening hours. Neither can an overflowing toilet on a Sunday. Call 1300 164 206 and a licensed plumber answers. Evening and weekend rates differ, and you get the price before we start.
Sydney Water owns the water meter at your property and says owners must keep it free from damage. Find your main tap and your meter before you need them.
- Turn the water off at the main tap or the isolation valve for your unit.
- Switch off the power at the switchboard if water has reached power points or lights.
- Open the lowest tap to drain the pipes.
- In a strata building, tell the strata manager if water is coming from common property.
Hot water and gas fitting for Lidcombe homes
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. A failing one shows up as lukewarm showers or a puddle at the base.
Moving a gas heater, fitting a cooktop or adding a bayonet point is licensed gasfitting work. Our gas fitting work covers new connections and appliance swaps. We also offer gas leak checks.
If you ever smell gas, get everyone outside and don’t touch switches or appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour.

Does plumbing work in Lidcombe need a certificate?
Some jobs do. Building Commission NSW says a Notice of Work is a form. It outlines the plumbing work and who is doing it. A plumber submits 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. The plumber gives a copy to the person who arranged the work. Keep yours with the papers for the property.
Plumbing in Lidcombe’s apartments, units and houses
The NSW Electoral Commission lists Lidcombe among the localities of both Cumberland Council and the City of Parramatta Council, each “partially or wholly”. Your council depends on which part of Lidcombe your home is in.

The first question on a leak is which part of the building the pipe belongs to. In a house, the owner looks after the pipes up to Sydney Water’s connection. In a strata building, the NSW Government says who is responsible depends on where the pipe runs.
Plumber Lidcombe: strata repairs, who is responsible?
| Plumbing problem | In most cases | First step |
|---|---|---|
| Plumbing in internal walls and fixtures such as toilets, sinks and showers | The owner | Book a licensed plumber. |
| Plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor | The owners corporation | Ask the strata manager or committee. |
| Water damage coming from inside your property | The owner | Stop the source, then call us. |
| Water damage coming from common property | The owners corporation | Tenants ask their landlord first. |
The NSW Government page adds that if you can’t tell who is responsible, you should check your strata plan and by-laws.
We also take jobs in Penrith, Annangrove and Beaumont Hills. See the other suburbs our Western Sydney plumbers cover.
