What we get called out to in North Ryde

  • Leaking pipes and fittings. Under sinks, in walls and at the garden tap.
  • Blocked drains and toilets. Kitchen sinks and toilets cleared, and the sewer checked on camera when it keeps happening.
  • Office plumbing. Water filters, chillers and pumps in office suites.

What we do here

Emergency plumber in North Ryde

A burst pipe, a blocked toilet, no hot water or water coming through the ceiling? Ring 9904 3074 rather than using the form. Most urgent jobs in North Ryde get a plumber the same day, and we tell you on the phone what to turn off in the meantime.

Office hours are Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm. After-hours work can be arranged for a fee.

In more detail

The three we get called about most

Leaks

North Ryde's houses are mostly from the postwar decades, and their original water pipes are now old enough to leak at joints and fittings.

We find the leak and replace the failed section or fitting. Where it helps, we freeze the pipe so the rest of the house keeps its water while we work.

Burst pipes and leaks

Office plumbing

Office suites rely on water filters, boiling and chilled water units, pumps and kitchenette plumbing that nobody thinks about until they stop.

We service and replace them on a schedule, so the filter is changed before the water tastes wrong.

Office plumbing

Blocked drains

Most North Ryde blockages we see start at a kitchen sink or a toilet, with the occasional sewer that needs a camera to find out why it keeps happening.

We clear it, camera it where needed, and tell you whether it is a one-off.

Blocked drains

It’s an emergency! I’d better ring STS.

Old fashioned service. Modern day plumbing.

A typical job here

A broken garden tap and a leaking pipe in North Ryde

A burst water pipe uncovered for repair

The problem

The front garden tap had snapped and the pipe behind it was leaking into the wall.

What we did

We isolated the line, replaced the broken pipe and the tap, and fitted shut-off valves so that part of the system can be turned off on its own in future.

The result

No leak, a working garden tap, and isolation valves that make the next repair simpler.

About the suburb

Plumbing in North Ryde

North Ryde is a mostly residential suburb in the City of Ryde, with postwar family houses on quiet streets, newer townhouses and apartments, and office buildings toward Macquarie Park. Bushland along the Lane Cove River runs along its edge.

Our job records in North Ryde are modest next to our Lower North Shore suburbs, so we will not claim to know every street. The jobs we have done here are a mix of leaks, blocked drains and toilets in houses, and filters, pumps and chillers in offices.

Houses from the 1950s and 1960s are now at the age where the original water pipes, hot water systems and bathrooms tend to come due around the same time. Looking at the whole house once can save you three separate call-outs.

Read how to turn off your water main and how to unblock a drain safely.
