In Cammeray, everything drains downhill toward Tunks Park, and that shapes half the plumbing calls we get. Rapid Service Plumbing looks after the suburb's interwar bungalows, brick semis and the unit blocks along Miller Street: clearing overloaded drains, quietening banging pipes, sorting tired hot water systems and keeping old gutters doing their job. Fixed prices, same-day bookings, available 24/7.

Most of Cammeray went up between the wars, on blocks that slope toward the gully. Ninety years on, the original drainage, gutters and pipework are carrying loads they were never sized for. This is the work we do most in the suburb:
Drains that cope with the slope: When rain sheets down toward Tunks Park, undersized or partly blocked drains show themselves fast. Our blocked drain plumbers clear sewer and stormwater lines with high-pressure jetting, confirm the cause with a CCTV camera, and where an old earthenware pipe has cracked we can fix it from the inside with pipe relining, sparing the garden above it.
Gutters and downpipes on interwar rooves: Bungalow verandas and tiled rooves of Cammeray's era often carry original box gutters and undersized downpipes. Our roof plumbing team repairs, reseals and upsizes them so overflow ends up in the stormwater system instead of your ceiling.
Hot water sized for real households: We repair and replace hot water systems across Cammeray, from family storage tanks behind the semis to compact gas continuous-flow units for the Miller Street apartments. You get a recommendation matched to the building, quoted as a fixed price.
Noisy, tired pipework: Banging when a tap closes, shuddering when the washing machine fills, a tap that will not stop dripping: all signs of original pipework and valves due for attention, and all fixable without drama.
And when something lets go at 2am, our emergency plumbers answer around the clock for burst pipes, blocked sewers and gas leaks. We also handle gas fitting and stormwater upgrades across the suburb.

FAQ
The questions Cammeray owners ask us most, from smelly gullies to noisy pipes.
It is worth acting on. The gully trap is designed to hold a water seal that blocks sewer gases; if it dries out, cracks or gets buried by garden build-up, the smell escapes. Sometimes topping up the water is all it takes, but a persistent smell in a Cammeray backyard often means a partial blockage further down the line pushing gas back up. A quick inspection tells us which one you have.
That thud is water hammer: water moving through the pipes stops suddenly and the shockwave rattles pipework that is no longer clipped tight. It is common in Cammeray's interwar homes where original pipe fixings have loosened over decades. We fix it by securing the pipework, fitting hammer arrestors where needed and replacing worn tap valves, which also spares your joints and hoses from repeated shock.
Semis rarely have spare room, so the answer is usually a slimline storage unit down the side path or a continuous-flow unit on the external wall, which frees the space entirely and never runs cold. Which one wins depends on your gas supply, how many showers happen back to back and where the plumbing already runs. We quote the options that genuinely fit rather than a one-size default.
Yes, this is bread-and-butter work in older Cammeray kitchens and laundries that were never plumbed for modern appliances. We install dedicated supply taps and proper drainage connections, replace corroded old stop valves while we are there, and fit quality braided hoses. Done properly it is a small job; done badly it is how laundries flood, so it is worth a licensed plumber's hour.
Usually, yes. Box gutters on interwar bungalows were sized for gentler rain than Sydney now gets, and decades of resealing often narrows them further. Depending on condition we clear and reseal, fit a larger outlet or overflow, or replace the section with a properly sized gutter. We will tell you which after looking, and quote a fixed price before any work starts.
