What goes wrong with plumbing in Mount Kuring-Gai houses?
The 2021 Census counted 585 occupied homes in Mount Kuring-Gai, and 555 of them were separate houses. Here are four common plumbing jobs in houses.
Roots in the sewer line
Sydney Water says tree roots can enter small cracks in wastewater pipes and slow the drainage until it blocks. A camera inspection shows whether unblocking a slow drain will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Leaks out of sight
A rising water bill or a damp patch on a wall points to a pipe leaking where you can’t see it. Our water leak tracing covers a leak you can’t see.
Hot water that runs out
A unit that goes cold partway through a shower needs a repair or a replacement.
Taps and toilets that keep running
A dripping tap or a cistern that never stops filling wastes water and lifts the bill. A worn washer or a stuck float valve is a common cause.
You can check for a hidden leak yourself. Turn off every tap and appliance, then watch the meter dial. If it keeps moving, water is escaping somewhere on the property.
Who looks after which pipes in Mount Kuring-Gai?
If Sydney Water supplies your home, it owns the water main and the meter at your property. It also owns the wastewater junction, but the owner is responsible for their connection to it. Everything private is yours, up to where those pipes connect to its services. Sydney Water sets out the split on its site.
The owner also clears any tree roots that enter the junction at the point of connection. Sydney Water adds that owners must keep its water meter free from damage. Its staff need access to read, maintain or replace it.

Find your main tap before you need it. Sydney Water owns the meter at your property and says owners must keep it free from damage.
- 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 in the house to drain the pipes.

Hot water and gas work for Mount Kuring-Gai houses
A storage unit heats a tank of water and holds it ready. An instantaneous unit heats water only as it flows through the pipes. Gas and electric versions of both exist, so tell us which one you have. Our plumber Mount Kuring-Gai team handles repairs on gas and electric units.
Moving a gas heater, fitting a cooktop or adding a bayonet point is licensed gasfitting work. A bayonet point is the wall fitting a gas heater connects to. Our gas fitting for new appliances covers new connections, appliance swaps and pressure testing.
Hornsby Shire Council says a property is bush fire prone if the mapped vegetation or its buffer intersects it. Council publishes the bush fire prone land map. If your block is on bush fire prone land and you’re building, the NSW Rural Fire Service says above-ground pipes for water and gas need to be metal. It also says the home needs a water supply for firefighting, such as a tank, pool or dam.
If you smell gas, get everyone outside and leave the switches and appliances alone. Call us from outside, at any hour.

Do I need approval for plumbing work in Mount Kuring-Gai?
In Sydney, a plumber submits a Notice of Work through the MyInspections Gateway before starting work that needs an inspection. A Notice of Work is a form that outlines the plumbing and drainage work to be carried out. NSW lists emergency work and minor works, like replacing tap ware and existing hot water systems, 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. The plumber gives a copy to whoever arranged the job, so ask for yours and keep it with the house papers.
