Walk from Mowbray Road into the back streets of Lane Cove North and the housing jumps fifty years in five minutes: new apartment buildings on the corridor, post-war brick and fibro homes everywhere else. The two generations fail in opposite ways, and Rapid Service Plumbing fixes both, from a waterproofing leak in a two-year-old unit to a rusted-out pipe in a 1955 original, always at a price fixed before we start.

Old suburbs wear out; new buildings shake down. Lane Cove North is doing both at once, and each calls for a different kind of plumber.
The new apartment corridor: Buildings from the recent construction wave have their own signature faults: flexible hoses that fail early, waterproofing that lets go around showers and balconies, and fixtures installed at speed during fit-out. We diagnose and repair these properly, document the cause in writing for strata and insurance purposes, and replace failure-prone fittings before they flood the apartment below. We work with owners, tenants and respond to emergencies at any hour.
The post-war streets: The older houses carry the opposite burden: blocked drains where street trees have grown into sixty-year-old sewer joints, galvanised pipes strangling the water pressure, and original bathrooms overdue for renewal. We clear and camera-inspect drains, repair cracked lines with no-dig relining, replace tired pipework and worn taps, and keep gutters flowing through our roof plumbers.
Hot water for both: A family house and a two-bedroom unit need different systems, and we install and service the full range of hot water systems, including compact continuous-flow units for apartments and gas systems for houses. Our licensed gas fitters handle appliances and gas lines, and if you ever smell gas, leave the building before you call.
Emergencies: Burst pipes, sewer backups and no-hot-water mornings do not check the calendar. The emergency line answers 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

FAQ
Questions we hear from both the new apartments and the old streets of Lane Cove North.
Newer buildings commonly shake out their construction-stage shortcuts in the first decade: waterproofing membranes that were rushed, builder-grade flexible hoses, fittings tightened once and never checked. None of this means your building is a lemon, but it does mean faults should be documented properly as they appear. We repair the immediate problem and give you a written cause, which matters if the defect belongs in a warranty or insurance conversation.
We work with strata on exactly that basis: scheduled preventative maintenance such as hose and valve replacement programmes, priority response when something urgent happens, and consolidated invoicing to the owners corporation. For a building of apartments, replacing every ageing flexi hose in one planned visit costs far less than repairing one flooded unit, and we can quote both the programme and the individual jobs.
It just requires respect. Fibro from that period can contain asbestos, so we never cut or drill it on impulse; we plan pipe routes through safer access, and on the rare job where fibro must be disturbed, licensed removalists deal with that sheet before we continue. The process is routine for houses of this age and should never be a reason to leave a leak unfixed.
Everything, ideally. While the room is stripped, replacing the galvanised branches and old valves costs a fraction of what the same work costs behind finished tiling, and it protects the renovation you are paying for. We coordinate with your builder or tiler on the rough-in, pressure-test before the walls close, and make sure the new bathroom is not running on sixty-year-old plumbing.
Yes. A tempering valve caps the hot water reaching bathrooms at a safe temperature and is standard on every system we install or replace. Plenty of Lane Cove North's older homes, and some hastily fitted apartments, either lack one or have a valve that has drifted with age; both take minutes for us to test. If you have young children, no other piece of safety plumbing gives you more protection for so little cost.
