Licensed plumbers for Mosman houses and apartments
A leak behind the bathroom wall or a hot water unit gone cold needs a licensed plumber in Mosman. Our plumber Mosman team takes calls at any hour, for separate houses, terraces and apartment blocks alike.
Every job gets a price before we start, and that price holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, and we quote the price first.
What goes wrong with the plumbing in Mosman homes?
More than half of Mosman’s occupied homes are flats or apartments, and another 4,028 are separate houses. These four jobs come up in both.
Drains that gurgle or back up
A shower that fills around your feet points to a blockage. A camera inspection tells us whether clearing the drain will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Leaks behind walls
A water bill that climbs while your use stays the same points to a pipe leaking out of sight. We use non-invasive leak tracing before anything is opened up.
Hot water that runs out
A unit that goes cold halfway through a shower needs a repair or a replacement. We handle hot water system repairs on gas and electric units and tell you when replacement makes more sense.
Taps and cisterns that won’t stop
A dripping tap or a cistern that never stops filling wastes water. A worn washer or a sticking float valve is a common cause.
You can test for a hidden leak yourself. Turn off every tap and appliance, then watch the water meter dial for a few minutes. If it keeps moving, water is escaping somewhere on the property.
Which pipes belong to you in Mosman?
Sydney Water owns and maintains the water main and the water meter at your property. It says the owner is normally responsible for private water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to its services. Its pipe responsibility page has diagrams of where the line falls.
Sydney Water’s blockage guide says a blockage is probably in your private pipes when four things hold. Your neighbours aren’t affected, your drainage isn’t shared, there’s no flooding in your local area, and the overflow only happens when you use water at your property. For any wastewater overflow, Sydney Water asks you to call its faults line on 13 20 90, 24/7.
Emergency plumber Mosman: any hour, day or night
A burst pipe at midnight or an overflowing toilet 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.
Sydney Water owns the water meter at your property and says owners must keep it free from damage. In a block of units, ask your strata manager where the shared shut-off valve is.
- Turn the water off at the main tap or shut-off valve.
- 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 valuables off the floor, then call us.
Gas fitting and hot water for Mosman 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, leave the building and keep naked flames and switches well away. Call us from outside, at any hour.
Strata buildings: who fixes what?
The NSW Government’s strata guide says the owners corporation or strata committee repairs and maintains common property. Owners repair and maintain anything within their property. In most cases, its list puts plumbing in internal walls and fixtures, such as sinks and showers, with the owner. Plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor sits with the owners corporation.

Do I need approval for plumbing work in Mosman?
Plumbing has its own paperwork. A Notice of Work is a form that outlines the plumbing work. A plumber submits one before work that needs an inspection. A Certificate of Compliance then confirms the finished work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia.
Mosman Council adds its own step for one job. It says you must apply to Council to install a greywater system. Greywater is household wastewater that hasn’t touched toilet waste.
Council also lists around 500 heritage items and archaeological sites and 13 heritage conservation areas. To clarify a property’s heritage listing, it says to apply to Council for a Planning Certificate.
Plumbing in Mosman’s flats, terraces and houses
Mosman Council’s residents guide says Mosman includes the localities of Balmoral, Mosman Bay, Beauty Point, Clifton Gardens and Georges Heights. The 2021 Census shows what the homes in the suburb look like.

With 6,001 flats, the first question on a leak is where the pipe runs. A rented home still has an owner responsible for its pipes up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services. An empty home can leak unseen.
Plumber Mosman: who looks after which pipe in a flat?
| Where the pipe is | Who looks after it | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Under a sink or in an internal wall | The lot owner | Book a licensed plumber. |
| In a boundary wall or under the floor | The owners corporation | Report it to your strata manager. |
| The water main and the meter | Sydney Water | Keep the meter free from damage. |
