This helps limit odours, overflows, and further disruption.

Do you service Tempe?
Yes. We look after businesses and homes throughout Tempe, Monday to Friday from 7 am to 5 pm. We are based in Newtown and work across the Inner West every weekday, and same-day service is often available. Call us to check availability and book a time that suits you.
We live near the Cooks River. Do we need better drainage?
It is worth checking. Properties close to the river and canal can be slower to drain in heavy rain, so blocked pits, broken downpipes, or cracked lines show up quickly as pooling. We check how water moves across your property, find any weak points, and complete practical repairs.
Our hot water stopped working. Can you help?
Yes. First check whether the power or gas is on and whether a safety switch has tripped, as this can be a simple fix. If it is still not working, we diagnose the fault, explain whether a repair or replacement makes more sense, and give you a quote first. Learn more about our
hot water service.
Is a dripping tap worth fixing?
Yes. A tap that drips all day can waste a surprising amount of water over a year, and the worn washer or cartridge behind it usually gets worse. Most repairs are quick, and while we are there we can check your other taps, toilets, and hoses, so small problems are sorted in one visit.
Our gutters overflow in heavy rain. What can we do?
Gutters usually overflow because leaves block the outlet, a section has sagged and holds water, or the downpipe cannot keep up. We clear and inspect the gutters and downpipes, find the cause, and repair or replace damaged sections so rainwater runs away from your Tempe property.
Can you install or repair gas appliances?
Yes. We connect and repair gas cooktops, ovens, heaters, and outdoor barbecues for homes, as well as commercial equipment for businesses. Before connecting anything new, we check the supply and existing pipework, explain the work required, and complete the job with attention to safe daily operation.
Why does my toilet gurgle when I run the bath?
Gurgling often means air is being pushed through the system by a partial blockage further down the sewer line. In older Tempe homes, debris, grease, or roots in ageing pipes can be the cause. Having it checked early can prevent a slow drain from becoming an overflow or a bad smell.
Do you work on commercial properties in Tempe?
Yes. We work with offices, shops, and warehouses as well as homes. We understand that a plumbing problem can disrupt your business, so we assess the issue, explain the work required, and aim to complete practical repairs with as little downtime as possible during weekday hours.
Do you work in suburbs near Tempe?
Yes. Along with Tempe, we work in nearby suburbs including
Dulwich Hill and
Newtown, plus Marrickville, St Peters, and Sydenham. You can see
all the suburbs we serve on our service area page, or call us for clear advice and an obligation-free quote on your plumbing job.
How do I book a job?
Call us on 1300 300 941, Monday to Friday between 7 am and 5 pm, or
contact us online. Tell us your suburb, the service you need, and a little about the problem. We will get back to you to arrange a time and provide an obligation-free quote before any work begins.
