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 Seven Hills. Some of it is urgent and some can be booked in, and we will tell you honestly which one you are dealing with.
Every job starts with a written quote, and if something unexpected turns up once we are on site we stop and discuss it rather than pressing on.
What we fix in Seven Hills
Hot water repair and replacement, blocked drains, burst and leaking pipes, noisy or knocking pipework, taps and toilets, gas fitting, and roof plumbing and gutters.
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
A bang in the wall when a tap or an appliance shuts off is water hammer. It happens because moving water has momentum, and when a valve closes quickly that momentum has to go somewhere. The result is a pressure spike that travels through the pipework.
It is most noticeable with appliances, because washing machine and dishwasher solenoid valves close far faster than a hand operated tap.
The reason it is worth addressing rather than living with is what the repeated shock does over time. It can loosen joints, stress fittings and eventually cause a leak in a spot that was previously sound. Loose or poorly secured pipework makes the noise worse, because a pipe that can move will knock against the structure.
Remedies depend on the cause. Water hammer arrestors absorb the shock. Securing loose pipework stops the knocking. Where system pressure is unusually high, adjusting or fitting a pressure limiting valve reduces the severity of every spike.
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.
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 Seven Hills 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.

Appliance solenoid valves close much faster than a tap you turn by hand, so they produce a sharper pressure spike. If the noise is confined to one appliance, the cause is usually the speed of that valve combined with pipework that is not restrained near it.
Both. The noise is the obvious part, but the repeated pressure spike is what matters. Over time it works joints loose and stresses fittings, and the eventual leak often appears somewhere that seemed perfectly sound.
Sometimes the cause is simply a pipe that is not clipped properly in an accessible spot, which is straightforward to secure. Fitting arrestors or adjusting system pressure is licensed work. It is also worth diagnosing the cause first, because treating the symptom in the wrong place achieves nothing.
