Complimentary safety inspection included
Â
Every job comes with a complimentary whole-system safety inspection for complete peace of mind.
Most of Jannali went up in a burst between the early 1950s and the late 1960s, which means a lot of its houses are hitting the same milestones at the same time. Original pipework, first-generation bathroom fit-outs and long-serving hot water systems all age on a schedule. Rapid Service Plumbing keeps Jannali's brick homes running, with fixed pricing and a same-day booking when you need one.

When a whole suburb is built inside two decades, its plumbing problems arrive in waves. Jannali is deep into the wave where original materials retire. That is not a crisis; it is a maintenance schedule, and it costs far less to run ahead of it than behind it.
Original water lines: Galvanised steel pipe was standard when Jannali was built, and it corrodes from the inside long before it leaks. Falling shower pressure and a rusty tinge in the first water of the morning are the usual signs. We confirm what remains in the walls, replace failing sections in copper or PEX, and can stage the work over time so the cost lands gently.
Drains and sewers under mature gardens: Sixty years is also long enough for street trees and backyard figs to find every joint in an earthenware sewer. Our blocked drain plumbers clear roots with high-pressure jetting, run a CCTV camera to find the entry point, and close it permanently with no-dig pipe relining. One repair, instead of a clearing every eighteen months.
Hot water on its last lap: Plenty of Jannali systems are quietly past their design life. Rather than waiting for the cold shower, we assess age and condition, quote repair against replacement honestly, and install electric, heat pump and continuous flow systems as well as gas hot water. If it fails at 9pm anyway, the emergency line answers 24/7.
Gas, taps and the rest: Licensed gas fitting for cooktops and heaters, tap repairs and replacements, gutters and downpipes, and burst pipe repairs. If you ever smell gas, get everyone out first, then call.
FAQ
The things Jannali owners most often want to know about houses now into their seventh decade.
Look under the kitchen sink or in the meter box: galvanised pipe is grey steel with threaded joints, unlike the orange-brown of copper. Rust-tinged water first thing in the morning and pressure that has slowly worsened over years are the giveaways. We can inspect accessible pipework and tell you exactly which materials are where, with no obligation to replace anything.
Because clearing removes the roots but not the opening they grew through. Somewhere along the line there is a cracked pipe or a separated joint, and the roots return to it every season. A camera inspection finds that exact spot, and relining seals it from the inside. Owners are often surprised that the permanent fix costs less than a decade of repeat clearings.
Water supply, drainage to the existing sewer, usually hot water of its own, and gas if you want it. The critical step is checking that the existing house drainage has the capacity and the fall to take the extra connection, which is not a given on every Jannali block. We review plans before council submission and quote the whole connection package as one fixed price.
Almost never, and few make it that far. The practical question is about systems in the ten-to-fifteen-year band: worth repairing when the fault is a valve or thermostat, not worth it once the tank itself corrodes. We tell you which side of the line yours falls on, and if replacement wins, we quote like-for-like alongside more efficient options with running costs compared.
Before tiles are chosen. First-generation Jannali bathrooms often hide galvanised risers and lead-jointed drainage that should be replaced while the room is stripped, and moving fixtures changes drainage falls that must be set early. We rough-in after demolition, fit off after tiling, and coordinate the sequence with your builder or renovator so nothing gets done twice.
