Greenwich keeps to itself at the end of the peninsula, but its plumbing problems are anything but quiet: cottages with century-old pipework, a tree canopy that fills gutters as fast as they are cleared, and sandstone near the point that dictates how anything below ground gets fixed. Rapid Service Plumbing has the peninsula covered, with fixed upfront pricing and same-day bookings.

Between the wharf and River Road, Greenwich runs the full spread of Sydney housing history, and each era brings its own plumbing homework:
Victorian and Federation cottages: The suburb's oldest homes still carry original drainage details: shallow earthenware sewer lines, gully traps at odd spots, and pipework altered many times over a century. We diagnose odd smells, slow drains and mystery damp patches methodically, with camera inspections and pressure testing before anyone talks about money, then fix what actually needs fixing, from blocked drains to relined sewer sections where roots have found their way in.
Under the tree canopy: Greenwich's established trees are the making of its streets and the undoing of its gutters. Our roof plumbers clear, repair and reconfigure gutters and downpipes, fit appropriate leaf protection, and make sure the runoff reaches the stormwater system instead of pooling against sandstone footings.
Hot water, old and new: Plenty of Greenwich homes still run ageing storage tanks. We service and repair all types, and when replacement time comes we quote both like-for-like and a conversion to continuous-flow or gas hot water, with honest numbers on running costs. See our full hot water services.
Gas heating and emergencies: Our licensed gas fitters install heater points, cooktops and complete gas lines, and if you ever smell gas, get the household outside and ring our emergency line, which answers 24 hours a day for gas leaks, burst pipes and sewer backups.

FAQ
Older cottages, big trees and sandstone underfoot: the questions Greenwich puts to us most often.
In Greenwich's older cottages the usual suspects are a cracked earthenware pipe seeping under the subfloor, a dried-out or damaged gully trap losing its water seal, or an old abandoned drain that was never properly capped. A camera inspection and a smoke or dye test narrow it down without pulling up floors. Whatever the source, subfloor moisture also invites termites, so it is worth resolving promptly.
For many Greenwich households, yes, but not all. Continuous-flow frees the space the old tank occupied, never runs out mid-shower and only heats water you use. The catch is it needs adequate gas supply and, in bigger homes, careful sizing for simultaneous showers. We quote the conversion and a like-for-like replacement side by side, with running-cost estimates, and let the numbers decide.
Nothing makes leaves stop falling, but the right setup makes them manageable: correctly pitched gutters, outlets sized for peninsula downpours, overflow measures so a blocked outlet cannot push water into the eaves, and quality leaf guards where they genuinely help. We set gutters up so a seasonal clear is routine maintenance rather than an emergency, and we do the clears too if you would rather not climb ladders.
It limits digging, not repairs. Where the sewer or stormwater line sits in a sandstone shelf, we lean on methods that work through existing access: jetting for blockages and structural relining for cracked sections. The result is a repaired pipe without rock cutting. Genuine excavation is reserved for collapsed pipes, and we price it transparently if the camera shows it is truly needed.
Yes. We run or extend the gas line, install bayonet points in the rooms where heaters will live, and test and certify the installation on the day. Greenwich's older homes often need the line routing planned around subfloor access, which we confirm when quoting. Booking ahead of the cold snap means you are not waiting in the June queue.
