Plumber Hunters Hill
Hunters Hill asks more of a plumber than most suburbs. Houses here date back to the 1850s, much of the peninsula sits within conservation areas, and the sandstone, the gardens and the buildings themselves deserve to be left exactly as found. Rapid Service Plumbing works in Hunters Hill the way the suburb expects: methods that avoid disturbance, quotes fixed in advance, and workmanship guaranteed in writing.

Plumbing with respect for Hunters Hill's heritage
The peninsula's houses have outlived several generations of their own pipework. Our job is renewing the services without leaving a mark on what surrounds them.
Repairs that avoid excavation: The kindest thing you can do for a heritage garden or a sandstone path is not dig it up. Where a sewer line has cracked under grounds you care about, our no-dig pipe relining repairs it from the inside through existing access points. A CCTV inspection first shows precisely what condition the line is in, so nothing is opened on guesswork.
Blocked drains under old gardens: A century of tree growth sits above many Hunters Hill sewer lines, and roots find every joint eventually. Our drain team clears them with high-pressure jetting and deals with recurring sewer blockages at the cause rather than selling you the same clearance every year.
Tracing leaks in old walls and under old floors: Original pipework in stone and double-brick homes fails quietly. We locate hidden leaks by isolation, metering and detection equipment, opening only the smallest access the repair needs, and we repair burst and corroded pipes in materials that will outlast another generation.
Gas, hot water and renovations: Our licensed gas fitters service the heaters, cooktops and gas hot water systems these homes rely on, we install and service all types of hot water system, and we partner builders and owners through kitchen and bathroom renovations where new services have to thread through very old structure. For anything urgent, the emergency line answers 24 hours a day, every day.

FAQ
Hunters Hill questions we hear often
For owners of heritage and conservation-area properties, the questions below come up in nearly every first phone call.
Do heritage rules stop me from repairing my drains?
No. Conservation controls protect buildings, significant trees and streetscapes; they do not oblige you to live with failing drains. Most repairs happen underground through existing access points, and relining in particular involves no excavation at all. Where a job would genuinely disturb significant fabric, such as digging beside sandstone footings, we plan the approach with you and, where relevant, your heritage adviser before starting, so the repair and the rules never collide.
Our water bill says we are using far more than we possibly could. Where is it going?
Somewhere out of sight, which in Hunters Hill usually means under a floor, inside a thick wall or along the long garden run to the street. The meter test settles it: all taps off, dials still turning means a genuine leak. From there we isolate section by section until the loss is cornered, then open one small access point to repair it. On old properties we also pressure-test what remains, because pipes of the same age tend to fail in sequence.
Can you renew the plumbing during our renovation without losing the house's character?
That is precisely the job. New services route through ceiling spaces, subfloors and existing chases wherever possible, fixtures can be period-appropriate while the pipework behind them is new, and anything that must be visible is discussed before it exists. The time to involve us is when plans are still drawings, because rerouting services on paper costs nothing and rerouting them through sandstone costs plenty.
The previous owners mentioned odd gully traps and old fittings in the garden. Should we investigate?
Worth an hour of ours, yes. Properties this old accumulate layers of plumbing history: superseded gullies, abandoned lines, connections rerouted decades ago and never documented. A camera survey maps what is actually down there and which parts still matter. Most of it is harmless, but knowing your real layout turns every future repair from an excavation mystery into a quick, quoted job.
We have small children. Is the hot water in an older home safe for them?
It should be checked. Current standards require a tempering valve limiting bathroom hot water to a safe temperature, but systems installed before that requirement, common in long-held Hunters Hill homes, often deliver water hot enough to scald a child in seconds. Retrofitting a valve is a small, inexpensive job. We test delivery temperatures on any hot water visit and will tell you plainly whether yours needs one.
