Local. Licensed. Fixed price.
Blocked drains, hot water, leaking pipes, taps, toilets, gas work and roof plumbing are all part of what we do in Ropes Crossing.
Some jobs need attention immediately and others can be booked in. We will tell you which one you have rather than treating everything as urgent.
What we fix in Ropes Crossing
Hot water repair and replacement, blocked drains, burst and leaking pipes, taps and toilets, gas fitting, roof plumbing, and appliance connections.
For a burst pipe or a serious leak, turn the water off at the mains tap before you call. If water is anywhere near power points, the switchboard or light fittings, stay clear and treat it as an electrical hazard. Do not enter standing water in a room with live power.
24/7 Emergency
Sediment accumulates in the bottom of a storage hot water tank over its working life. It settles out of the water and stays there, and it has practical consequences.
The first is capacity. Sediment occupies volume that would otherwise hold hot water, so a tank that once met demand comfortably starts running short earlier than it used to.
The second is efficiency. On an electric system the element sits within the tank, and sediment settling around it insulates it from the water it is meant to be heating. The element works harder for the same result, and it fails sooner.
The third is noise. Rumbling or popping from a storage unit often means water is trapped beneath a sediment layer and boiling there, which is worth investigating rather than ignoring.
Scale can also affect tap aerators, showerheads and appliance inlets. In those cases the symptom is reduced flow at one outlet while everything else is unaffected, and cleaning or replacing the aerator usually resolves it.
If a hot water system is leaking, making unusual noises, or delivering water hot enough to scald, switch it off at the isolation point if you can do so safely and call a licensed plumber. Tempering valves and pressure relief valves are not do it yourself items, and a failed relief valve can be dangerous.
Why choose us
Reason 01
Rapid Service Plumbing is a licensed plumbing business and our licence details are published on this site. Plumbing, drainage and gas fitting are licensed trades in New South Wales, and every plumber who attends a job in Ropes Crossing is licensed for the work they carry out.
Reason 02
You get a written quote before any work starts, covering labour, parts and any other costs. If we find something unexpected once we are on site, we stop and talk it through with you before going further.
Reason 03
A drain that keeps blocking or a tap that keeps dripping usually has an underlying reason. Where it matters we will investigate properly, including a camera inspection on drainage, so you are deciding with the full picture rather than paying twice for the same problem.
Reason 04
Repair and replacement are often both possible, and they suit different situations. We will tell you what each involves and what it means for the life of the fixture, then leave the decision with you.
Reason 05
Gas, hot water and anything involving water near electrical fittings carry real risk. We will tell you plainly when something should not be attempted at home and when a licensed professional needs to handle it.

FAQ
Questions we are regularly asked. If yours is not answered here, call the Sydney office on 02 9099 9138.
As a rough guide, treat it as urgent if water is escaping and you cannot stop it, if there is no water at all, if sewage is coming back inside, or if you can smell gas. Most other problems can be booked in. If water is flowing, turning off the mains stop tap buys time either way.

Commonly sediment on the bottom of the tank, with water trapped beneath it boiling and escaping through the layer. It is worth having looked at, because sediment also reduces usable capacity and shortens element life.
Unlikely if everything else is normal. A single outlet affected usually means the aerator at the spout has collected sediment or scale, which is simple to clean or replace. A supply problem would show at multiple outlets.
It can contribute. Sediment settling around an electric element insulates it from the water, so it runs harder and tends to fail sooner. It also occupies volume that would otherwise be usable hot water.
