 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had two jobs done. 1) fix a burst water pipe. 2) install water pressure valve as my water pressure was too high. They were punctual and did a very professional job. Anything they dug up, they filled. They left the work area cleaner than they found it. I ended up getting 4 quotes and they had the best price. I compared the quotes to other experiences online and they were very competitive and inline with other similar jobs across Australia.

No complaints.

Highly recommend!

I was doing some DIY and I accidentally drilled into a hot water pipe… yikes what an emergency I had on my hands… thankfully I contacted rapid service plumbing who sent their plumber mat onsite and he fixed the leaking pipe in no time.. if you want an emergency plumber, call these guys and speak to Addian… he will negotiate a good price for you and have someone there within the hour….

Had a persistent leak in my shower, and Sam from Rapid Service Plumbing took care of it without any hassle. Arrived within 10 minutes of me calling him, explained what needed to be done, and left everything spotless when finished. It’s a huge relief to have it fixed properly. Highly recommend. I’ll definitely be reaching out again for any future plumbing needs! Thanks, Sam

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an outstanding experience with the team! Sam the plumber came out to assess our sewer issue and made the entire process stress-free from start to finish. He explained everything clearly and kept us updated the whole time. A massive shoutout as well to Matt and Huss, the guys on the digger—they did an incredible job with the excavation, worked efficiently, and left the yard super tidy afterward. Polite, professional, and hardworking team. Highly recommend Sam, Matt, Huss, and the team at Rapid Service Plumbing to anyone needing major plumbing work done!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sam from Rapid Service Plumbing was fantastic from start to finish. Our 18-year-old hot water system failed unexpectedly just before we went overseas. Even though it was late at night, Sam responded straight away, talked me through what to check, and arranged to come out the very next morning.

He quickly diagnosed the issue, clearly explained why the old unit wasn't worth repairing, and recommended a Thermann continuous flow system. The installation was neat and professional, everything was tested and commissioned properly, and the work area was left spotless. He also took the time to explain how the new system works and answered all my questions without rushing.

What really stood out was Sam's honesty, communication and reliability. There were no surprises, the pricing was transparent, and he genuinely cared about getting us back up and running with hot water as quickly as possible.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sam and Rapid Service Plumbing to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy plumber. Thanks again for the excellent service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thomas came out Saturday afternoon. I'm sure he thought it would be a simple job but stayed back and finished up, even after a few hiccups. Made sure that we weren't without hotwater for the weekend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. George came out on a short notice call and what a legend he was. Sorted a major blockage out in record time and even inspected it the whole way through providing some recommendations to avoid the issue in the future. Would recommend

Why older pipework behaves differently

If a property has been altered over decades, its plumbing is often a mix of materials and eras joined together as needs changed. That is not a fault in itself, but it does affect how a repair is approached.

Different materials age differently, join differently, and fail differently. A repair that is routine in one material can be awkward in another, and connecting old to new sometimes needs an adaptor rather than a straight joint. Knowing what is actually there before opening a wall saves a great deal of time.

What we fix in Local Plumber Birchgrove

Our plumbing services in Birchgrove

Blocked drains and camera inspections, hot water repair and replacement, burst and leaking pipes, taps and toilets, gas fitting, roof plumbing and gutters, and bathroom and kitchen plumbing.

We Do It All!

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.

What the common materials tell you

Galvanised steel was widely used in older water supply lines. Over time it corrodes from the inside, which narrows the bore and reduces flow. The usual signs are poor pressure that has worsened gradually and discoloured water after a period of disuse.

Copper is durable and still common, though it can develop pinhole leaks with age or water chemistry. Earthenware and vitrified clay were standard for older drainage; they last well but the joints are where roots find their way in.

Modern work generally uses copper or approved plastics for supply and PVC for drainage. Where old meets new, the transition needs to be done properly rather than improvised, and that is often where earlier repairs turn out to have been rushed.

FAQ

Plumbing questions from Birchgrove residents

Questions we are regularly asked. If yours is not answered here, call the Sydney office on 02 9099 9138.

My water pressure has dropped gradually over years. What causes that?

A gradual decline across the whole property often points to the supply pipework itself narrowing, which is typical of corroding galvanised lines. A sudden drop, or one affecting a single outlet, usually has a different and simpler cause such as a blocked aerator or a partly closed valve. The pattern is what distinguishes them.

The water is discoloured when I first turn the tap on. Is that a concern?

Discolouration after a period of disuse is often associated with corrosion inside older supply pipework. It is worth having looked at, both to understand the condition of the pipes and to rule out other causes. If discolouration is persistent rather than clearing after a moment, mention that when you call.

Do I have to replace all the old pipework at once?

Not necessarily. Replacement can often be staged, prioritising the sections causing problems or the ones that will be difficult to access later. What matters is understanding the overall condition so the staging is deliberate rather than reactive.

Can old and new pipe materials be joined?

Yes, with the correct transition fittings. The joint has to suit both materials and be accessible. Improvised connections between dissimilar materials are a common source of later leaks, which is why this is worth doing properly.

Will I know the cost before work starts?

Yes. Before work begins, we provide a written quote covering labour, parts and any other costs.
