Licensed plumbing for Strathfield houses and apartments
A leaking pipe in a Strathfield flat or a blocked drain in a family house needs a licensed plumber. Our plumber Strathfield team takes calls at any hour.
We price every job before work starts, and the price is fixed once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ, so we quote your visit first.
Which plumbing jobs do Strathfield homes need most?
The 2021 Census counted 4,227 flats or apartments and 3,893 separate houses in Strathfield. The jobs below turn up in both kinds of home.
Slow and blocked drains
Roots, grease and wipes all block drains. A camera inspection shows whether clearing the blockage will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Leaks you can’t see
A water bill that climbs, or a meter that keeps moving with every tap off, points to a hidden leak. Leak detection for hidden pipes finds it before a wall or floor is opened.
Hot water that runs cold
A unit that gives out halfway through a shower needs a repair or a replacement. Our hot water system repairs cover gas and electric units.
Dripping taps and running toilets
A dripping tap or a running toilet wastes water every day. Our leaking tap repairs and toilet work fix both.
Signs of a blocked sewer pipe
Sydney Water says wastewater blockages have many causes. They include non-flushable items in toilets, fats, oils and grease poured into sinks, and tree roots. It lists four signs not to ignore:
- Sinks, the bath or the toilet empty slowly.
- The toilet isn’t flushing properly or has overflowed.
- The toilet or a floor drain makes gurgling noises.
- Wastewater has overflowed from the drain or gully near your outside tap.
Who owns which pipes in a Strathfield house or flat?
Sydney Water says the property owner is normally responsible for private drinking water and wastewater systems up to where they connect to its services. Its pipe ownership guide shows where the line falls.
A joint service is a water or wastewater pipe that also serves other properties. Sydney Water says each owner who shares one is responsible for it. It suggests talking to your neighbours about a private plumber to find out who shares yours.
Sydney Water also says the owner clears any tree roots that enter the junction at the point of connection. It lists backflow prevention devices among the equipment the owner maintains. A backflow prevention device is a valve that stops water flowing backwards into the mains.
Emergency plumber Strathfield: any hour, day or night
A burst pipe or an overflowing toilet can’t wait for office hours. Call 1300 164 206 and a licensed plumber answers at any hour. Evening and weekend rates differ, and you get the price before we start.
Sydney Water owns the water meter at your property. It says owners must keep it free from damage. Our emergency plumbing callouts run around the clock.
In a flat, NSW advice is to tell your building manager, strata manager or strata committee about common property that needs repair.
If wastewater overflows, Sydney Water asks you to report it on its faults line, 13 20 90, which runs 24/7. It also says to stay clear of the overflow.
- Turn the water off at the meter, or at the isolation valve under the sink or toilet.
- 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.
- Move valuables off the floor, then call us.
Plumber Strathfield: gas fitting and hot water for houses and flats
Moving a gas heater, fitting a cooktop or adding a bayonet point is licensed gasfitting work. Our gas fitting service covers new connections, appliance swaps and pressure testing.
If you smell gas, get everyone outside and don’t touch switches or appliances. Call us from outside at any hour. You can also read about gas leak detection before a problem starts.
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.

Does plumbing work in Strathfield need a certificate?
A plumber submits a Notice of Work before starting work that needs an inspection. NSW lists emergency work as a case where one isn’t needed. So are minor works, like replacing tap ware or an existing hot water system.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the finished work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. NSW says the plumber must give a copy to the person who arranged the work. Ask for yours and keep it.

Strathfield homes in the 2021 Census
Source: ABS Census QuickStats. The ABS makes small random changes to figures for privacy.
The ABS counted 3,768 rented homes in Strathfield in 2021. NSW Government says a tenant in a strata building should contact their real estate agent or landlord about repairs.
In a flat, the NSW strata repairs guidance says that in most cases the owner repairs plumbing in internal walls and fixtures. That means baths, toilets, sinks and showers. The owners corporation looks after plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor.
Plumber Strathfield: whose leak is it?
| Home type | Where the pipe runs | Who looks after it |
|---|---|---|
| Separate house | Private pipes, up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services | The property owner |
| Strata unit | An internal wall, or a fixture such as a toilet or shower | The unit owner, in most cases |
| Strata unit | A boundary wall or under the floor | The owners corporation, in most cases |
| Any home on a shared pipe | A joint service that also serves other properties | Each owner who shares it |
If you can’t tell whose repair it is, NSW says to check your strata plan and by-laws.
We also look after Burwood, Five Dock, Leichhardt and Balmain. See the other suburbs our Inner West plumbers cover.
