Licensed plumbers for McMahons Point flats and terraces
A leak through the bathroom ceiling or a hot water unit that’s gone cold needs a licensed plumber in McMahons Point. Our plumber McMahons Point team takes calls at any hour, for flats, terraces and houses.
The 2021 Census counted 734 flats or apartments among 1,169 occupied homes here. We agree the price before work starts, and it holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, and we quote the price first.
What goes wrong with plumbing in McMahons Point apartments?
Beside the flats, the Census counted 276 semi-detached, row or terrace homes and 152 separate houses. Four plumbing jobs turn up across all of them.
Slow and blocked drains
A sink or shower that drains slowly points to a partial blockage. A camera shows whether clearing a blocked drain will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Leaks behind the wall
A stained ceiling or a rising water bill can mean a pipe is leaking out of sight. We use leak tracing before anything is opened up.
Hot water that gives out
A unit that runs cold halfway through a shower needs a repair or a replacement. We handle hot water unit repairs on gas and electric units, and say so when replacing it is the better call.
Taps and toilets that run
A tap that drips or a cistern that keeps filling wastes water. A worn washer or a stuck float valve is the usual cause.
Which pipes are yours in McMahons Point?
Sydney Water says the property owner is normally responsible for private water and wastewater systems up to where they connect to its services. It owns the water main and the water meter at your property. Its pipe ownership guide shows where the line falls.

If sewage is overflowing, call Sydney Water’s faults line on 13 20 90. It’s open 24/7, whether the overflow is on your property or in a public place. Its wastewater blockages guide lists the signs that a blockage is in your own pipes.
Hot water and gas fitting for apartments and terraces
Gasfitting is licensed work. Our gas fitting service covers new connections, appliance swaps and pressure testing. If you smell gas, get everyone out and don’t touch switches or appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour.
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.
NSW lists replacing an existing hot water system among the minor works that don’t need a Notice of Work supplied to Building Commission NSW or the local plumbing regulator. In a strata building, NSW says to check your strata plan and by-laws if you can’t tell who should repair something.

Does plumbing work in McMahons Point need a certificate?
A Notice of Work is a form that outlines the plumbing and drainage work to be carried out, and who is carrying it out. NSW says plumbers and drainers must submit one before starting work that needs an inspection. It says a Notice of Work doesn’t need to be supplied for emergency work or minor works, such as replacing tap ware or an existing hot water system.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. NSW says the plumber completes one at the end of all plumbing and drainage work and gives a copy to the person who arranged it.
Flats, strata and the pipes behind the wall
The NSW Electoral Commission lists McMahons Point among the localities that the North Sydney Council area includes, wholly or in part. The same list names Milsons Point, Kirribilli, Waverton and North Sydney.

In 2021, 603 of the 1,169 occupied homes were rented. NSW’s strata repair guidance says a tenant contacts their real estate agent or landlord for repairs. The Census also counted 294 unoccupied private dwellings.
In a strata building, who repairs what depends on your strata plan and by-laws. NSW says that in most cases an owner repairs plumbing in internal walls and fixtures such as baths, toilets, sinks and showers. The owners corporation repairs plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor.
