Crows Nest, postcode 2065, is one of the Lower North Shore’s most vibrant and densely populated suburbs. With its elevated position (93m above sea level), eclectic mix of heritage homes and new apartment buildings, and buzzing commercial precincts, plumbing needs here are just as varied as the people who live and work in the area.
As your trusted local plumber based nearby in Lane Cove, STS Plumbing has been servicing homes and businesses across Crows Nest for over a decade. We understand the challenges that come with older infrastructure, tight-access terraces, and high-use multi-unit complexes.
In the older streets around Burlington Street, Ernest Street and Albany Street, we frequently respond to issues caused by aging copper or galvanised steel pipes. These often lead to poor water pressure, brown water from corroded fittings, and slow drainage due to narrow pipe diameters. We replace outdated systems with modern PEX or copper pipework — restoring flow and reliability without damaging your walls or floors.
For apartment dwellers in buildings off Oxley Street, Clarke Street and the Pacific Highway corridor, we work closely with strata managers to resolve common issues like blocked drains, leaking toilets, noisy pipes, and water heater failures. Many of these buildings have shared hot water or sewer systems, which require careful planning and clear communication during repairs — something our team prides itself on.
We’re also frequently called in by local cafés, gyms and retail shops near Willoughby Road for fast-response commercial plumbing. Whether it’s a blocked grease trap, faulty tap in a customer bathroom, or a hot water unit that’s given out mid-service — we show up fast, work cleanly, and keep your business running with minimal downtime.
Crows Nest’s sloped terrain and occasional intense storms also create stormwater management issues. In streets like Sinclair Street and Holtermann Street, we’ve resolved overflowing gutters, downpipe backflow, and water pooling near entrances due to poor drainage. Our roof plumbing and guttering services protect homes from water damage before it becomes a serious problem.
Beyond the residential core, we’ve also serviced light commercial spaces in the Artarmon and St Leonards border zones, where plumbing is often built into concrete slabs or tight ceiling voids. Our team uses drain cameras, thermal imaging, and non-invasive tools to locate leaks, diagnose pipe failures, and plan replacements with minimal disruption.
The beauty of working in a suburb like Crows Nest is its walkable, community-focused vibe. Many of our clients find us through word of mouth or spot our vans on their street. As a Lane Cove-based business, we’re just 10 minutes away, which means fast response times and genuine local knowledge — not just a name on a map.
We’re proud to serve not just Crows Nest but the surrounding areas too, including St Leonards, Cammeray, Wollstonecraft, Waverton, North Sydney and Neutral Bay. Whether you live in a two-bedroom flat or a family terrace, run a shopfront or manage a building, STS Plumbing delivers the professionalism and personal service you deserve.

Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing issues in Crows Nest — especially in older homes and high-use apartments where pipework may be outdated or overloaded. Whether it’s a slow-draining shower, overflowing kitchen sink, or gurgling toilet, these aren’t problems you can ignore.
At STS Plumbing, we clear blocked drains the right way — using professional equipment, not harsh chemicals or temporary fixes. Based nearby in Lane Cove, we’re often in Crows Nest multiple times a week dealing with everything from food waste blockages in cafés to tree root intrusions in residential sewer lines.
We start by identifying the problem. If it’s a simple kitchen sink blockage, we may use a hand auger or compact electric eel. For more serious clogs, we deploy high-pressure water jetters to clear the line fully and CCTV drain cameras to inspect the pipe condition.
Once the line is cleared, we assess whether there’s permanent damage — such as cracked pipes, tree root entry, or misaligned joints. If needed, we’ll provide options for pipe relining, excavation or ongoing maintenance.
When your hot water suddenly cuts out, you don’t just lose comfort — it disrupts your entire day. In a busy suburb like Crows Nest, where apartment blocks, townhouses, and older homes sit side by side, hot water issues are a regular call-out for the STS Plumbing team.
We repair, replace and maintain all types of hot water systems — including electric storage, gas continuous flow, and solar setups. Whether you’ve noticed discoloured water, strange noises, or complete failure, we’ll get your system sorted fast.
Our licensed plumbers begin by testing your system. We inspect heating elements, thermostats, TPR valves, and anode rods. If the issue is minor, we’ll repair it on the spot — often with parts we carry in our vans.
If your unit is outdated or beyond repair, we’ll guide you through replacement options based on your household size, usage, and energy preferences. We supply and install major brands like Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, and Bosch — often the same day.
With its dense mix of low-rise apartment blocks, duplexes, and boutique residential developments, Crows Nest is a hotbed for strata plumbing needs — and STS Plumbing is the trusted name behind many of them.
