- Since 2007 on the North Shore
- Upfront pricing, agreed before we start
- Our own licenced team, not subbies
What we get called out to in Woolwich
- Sewer chokes. Older lines that block, cleared and inspected with a camera.
- Water pressure. Pressure too high or too low, fixed with the right valve.
- Hot water. New systems set up to deliver the temperature and pressure you expect.
- Pump toilets. Toilets in rooms below the sewer line, which rely on a pump, serviced and replaced.
Woolwich is small and our records here are recent, but the work it needs is work we do every week.
Emergency plumber in Woolwich
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 Woolwich 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
Sewer repairs
Woolwich's older houses sit on older sewer lines, and many of the blocks slope toward the water.
We clear the choke, then camera the line so you know whether it was a one-off or a pipe on its way out.
Sewer repairsHot water and pressure
A new hot water system that runs cooler or weaker than the old one usually comes down to a valve, a mixing setting or the pressure coming into the house.
We test the pressure, fit a limiting valve where it is too high, and set the system up properly.
Hot waterToilets
Rooms built below the level of the sewer, like a downstairs bathroom or laundry, often rely on a pump to lift waste up to the line.
We service and replace these pump units and the toilets connected to them.

A typical job here
A Woolwich sewer choke that kept coming back
The problem
A Woolwich house had a sewer choke that cleared, then came back within a few months.
What we did
We cleared it again and ran the camera along the line to find out why. The footage showed roots entering at a joint, and we priced relining against a repeat clean.
The result
The owners had the footage and two prices, and could choose with the facts in front of them.

About the suburb
Plumbing in Woolwich
Woolwich is a small, quiet suburb at the tip of the Hunters Hill peninsula, where the Lane Cove and Parramatta rivers meet. It has older houses, some of them sandstone, alongside newer homes, many on blocks that slope to the water, with the old Woolwich Dock on its shoreline.
Our Woolwich job records only go back a few years, so we will not dress them up. The jobs we have done here have been sewer chokes and camera inspections, hot water and pressure problems, and a pump toilet replacement.
In an older house near the water, the first thing worth knowing is what is underground. A camera inspection tells you the condition of the sewer before you renovate, buy or sell.

Claire M., WoolwichQuestions we get asked in Woolwich
Does my Woolwich house need a pressure limiting valve?
Only if the pressure coming in is higher than your fittings are designed for. We measure it, and if it is too high, a limiting valve protects your taps, hoses and hot water system.
