Walk five minutes in Gordon and the plumbing changes completely. Around the station and the Pacific Highway it is apartment buildings, some brand new and some decades old. Behind them sit Federation and interwar homes on deep, leafy blocks with pipework that has served generations. Rapid Service Plumbing works across both sides of Gordon every week, with fixed upfront pricing and a 24/7 emergency line.

No single fix suits every Gordon property, so we start by understanding what you have. A two year old apartment with a defect issue needs different thinking from a 1915 house with its original water service, and we carry the licences, equipment and parts for both.
Apartments and strata around the station: Gordon's newer buildings bring us leaking balcony taps, faulty tempering valves, noisy pipework and hot water units failing well before their time, often traceable to rushed original installations. We diagnose honestly, document everything in writing for strata managers and owners corporations, and repair to a standard we are happy to guarantee. Individual owners get the same care for hot water faults, blocked fixtures and burst flexible hoses.
Older homes on the deep blocks: The established gardens that make Gordon's side streets so appealing sit directly over earthenware sewer lines laid a century ago. Our blocked drain team clears root intrusions with high-pressure jetting, confirms the pipe's condition with a CCTV inspection, and repairs cracked sections using no-dig relining so the garden above stays exactly as it is. Where the original galvanised water service from the meter is choking your pressure, we can replace it in modern poly or copper.
Gas, hot water and the rest: Our licensed gas fitters install cooktops, heaters and gas hot water systems, and we handle tap repairs, toilet replacements and sewer maintenance across the suburb. If you ever smell gas, move everyone outside before you call.
Emergencies, day and night: An emergency plumber answers our phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year, for bursts, blockages and gas leaks anywhere in Gordon.

FAQ
The questions that come up most often when Gordon owners, tenants and strata managers call us.
It is more common than it should be. Buildings put up quickly sometimes carry defects that only show themselves after a few years: tempering valves set wrong, poorly supported pipework that hammers, or hot water units undersized for the apartment. We inspect, explain what was done originally, and give strata or the owner a written report with a fixed price to correct it properly.
Street trees like liquidambars and figs are persistent, and Gordon's older earthenware sewer lines give their roots easy entry at every joint. Jetting clears the line today; the lasting fix is relining the damaged section so there is no longer a gap to grow through. A camera inspection tells us which answer your pipe actually needs, and you see the footage before deciding.
A storage system from the 1990s is well past its expected life, and they rarely fail politely; the usual ending is a split tank and a flooded corner of the garden or garage. Replacing on your schedule rather than the tank's means you can choose the right system calmly, and we can quote storage, continuous flow and heat pump options against your household's actual usage.
Very often the culprit is the original galvanised steel water service running from the meter to the house, which corrodes internally and narrows year by year. Replacing that single run in modern pipe usually transforms the pressure. We confirm the cause first by checking pressure at the meter and at the house, so you only pay for the fix you need.
Usually, yes. Older single-flush suites can use more than double the water of a modern dual-flush unit, and worn valves quietly leak water into the bowl around the clock. A replacement typically pays for itself on water bills over a few years, and we can match a new suite to the existing plumbing so the change is straightforward.
