Complimentary safety inspection included

Every job comes with a complimentary whole-system safety inspection for complete peace of mind.
Alfords Point is a small suburb, a few hundred homes on the high ground above the Georges River, and we know its streets well. The houses date mostly from the 1980s, which puts their original bathrooms, valves and hot water plumbing right in replacement territory, and the elevation gives many homes mains pressure strong enough to punish fittings. Rapid Service Plumbing covers it all with fixed quotes and same-day service.

Being compact has advantages: the housing stock is consistent, so the plumbing problems are too, and we have seen most of them before.
Pressure that eats fittings: Homes on the Point's higher streets often carry mains pressure well above what tapware and appliances are designed for. The symptoms are burst flexible hoses, hammering pipes, short-lived mixers and hot water relief valves that dribble constantly. A pressure-reducing valve at the meter settles the whole house, and it is one of the most cost-effective jobs we do here. When a pipe or hose has already burst, the emergency line answers 24/7.
First-generation bathrooms coming due: A 1980s ensuite has usually had four decades of service, and renewing it is as much a plumbing project as a tiling one. We handle the strip-out disconnections, relocate or replace the in-wall pipework while everything is open, and fit off the new fixtures. Fixed rough-in and fit-off pricing means the plumbing line in your renovation spreadsheet does not move.
Pools, barbecues and outside taps: Entertaining areas are standard equipment in Alfords Point. We run gas to barbecues via proper bayonet points through our licensed gas fitters, plumb outdoor sinks and poolside showers, and repair the garden and pool-area lines that time or landscaping has damaged.
Hot water and drains: We replace and repair hot water systems, including gas units, sized for real households. Blocked drains get jetted, inspected by camera and, where cracked, repaired with no-dig relining that leaves lawns and driveways alone.
FAQ
Frequent questions from the Point's 1980s homes, answered without the waffle.
On the Point's higher streets the static mains pressure often runs well past the level plumbing components are rated for, and every fitting in the house pays for it. Before replacing anything else, have the pressure measured; it takes minutes. If it is high, a pressure-reducing valve at the meter will do more for the life of your plumbing than a decade of piecemeal repairs.
Everything you never want to open the walls for again: replace the original in-wall stops and hoses, renew the shower breech if it is worn, and check the drainage connections before new waterproofing seals them in. Renovation is the one moment this work costs little. We quote the rough-in and fit-off as a fixed price so the surprise line in your renovation costs stays empty.
We do it regularly here. Gas bayonet for the barbecue, cold and hot water to a sink, a drainage point, and a poolside shower if you want one. The practical step is involving us before paving and benchtops are locked in, because pipe routes chosen early cost less than pipe routes forced late. The quote is fixed either way.
Households change faster than hot water systems do. A tank chosen for two adults will lose the fight against back-to-back teenage showers, and no repair fixes that mismatch. Options are a larger tank or continuous flow, and the right pick depends on your gas supply and bathroom count. We quote both with running costs so the decision is yours with the facts in hand.
Some early plastic systems have aged fine; a few specific types have not, and they fail suddenly rather than gracefully. If your home still has original plastic connectors at taps, toilets or the hot water system, it is worth having them identified. Where they are the problematic kind, we replace them with modern fittings progressively, highest-risk locations first, at a planned pace rather than a panicked one.
