A licensed plumber for Smithfield homes, day or night
A leaking tap, a drain that won’t clear or a hot water unit that has gone cold needs a licensed plumber in Smithfield. Our plumber Smithfield team takes calls at any hour.
Each 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 plumbing in Smithfield homes?
The 2021 Census counted 3,117 separate houses among Smithfield’s 4,034 occupied homes. Four jobs come up again and again in homes like these.
Blocked drains
Tree roots, grease and wipes build up inside a sewer line. A camera inspection shows whether drain clearing will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Leaks you can’t see
A rising water bill or a damp patch on a wall points to a pipe leaking out of sight. We use leak tracing for hidden pipes before anything is opened up.
Hot water that runs out
A unit that runs cold partway through a shower needs a repair or a replacement. We handle hot water repairs on gas and electric units and tell you when replacement makes more sense.
Taps and toilets that keep running
A tap that drips or a cistern that never stops filling wastes water and pushes the bill up. A worn washer or a stuck float valve is the usual culprit.
A water meter that keeps moving with every tap and appliance off points to a leak somewhere on the property. Turn everything off and watch the dial for a few minutes to check.
Who owns which pipes in Smithfield?
If Sydney Water serves your home, it says the property owner is normally responsible for private drinking water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to its services. That means a blockage or leak on your side is yours to fix. Its pipe ownership guide shows where the line falls.
Stormwater in the wastewater system
Sydney Water says that when it rains, stormwater can get into its wastewater pipes and overload the system. It lists downpipes wrongly connected to private wastewater pipes or drains as one way in. Cracked, damaged or poorly sealed private pipes can let groundwater in too. Its Wastewater Fix page explains how.
Sydney Water says an overloaded system can send wastewater into local waterways and onto private properties, including inside homes. Reconnecting a downpipe to the right drain is plumbing work, and we offer stormwater drain installation for jobs like that.
Emergency plumber Smithfield: any hour, day or night
A pipe that bursts 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.
Find your main tap before you need it. If Sydney Water serves your home, it owns the water meter at your property and says you must keep it free from damage. Our emergency plumbing team is on call round the clock.
- 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.
- Lift valuables off the floor, then call us.
Gas fitting and hot water for Smithfield 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 outside and don’t touch switches or appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour. Our gas leak detection covers the check that follows.

Do I need approval for plumbing work in Smithfield?
Plumbing work has its own paperwork. A Notice of Work applies to work that needs an inspection. NSW lists emergency work and minor works, like replacing tap ware or an existing hot water system, as cases where one isn’t needed.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. Ask for a copy and keep it with the house papers.
Plumbing across Smithfield’s houses and rentals
The NSW Electoral Commission lists Smithfield among the localities that Fairfield City Council covers, partially or wholly.
Smithfield homes in the 2021 Census
Source: ABS Census QuickStats. The ABS makes small random changes to figures for privacy.
More homes were rented (1,735) than owned outright (1,103) or owned with a mortgage (1,064). A rented home still has an owner responsible for its pipes. If Sydney Water serves the home, that covers them up to where they connect to its services. Another 431 homes were semi-detached, row or terrace houses or townhouses.
