Plumbing help in Jamisontown
We cover household plumbing in Jamisontown, including the urgent situations where something has failed and there is water where it should not be. In those cases the priority is stopping the water and limiting the damage. Everything else follows from there.
Our plumbing services in Jamisontown
Burst and leaking pipes, water damage investigation, blocked drains, hot water systems, taps and toilets, gas fitting, and roof plumbing. For a burst pipe or a serious leak, turn the water off at the mains tap before you call. If water is anywhere near power points, the switchboard or light fittings, stay clear and treat it as an electrical hazard. Do not enter standing water in a room with live power.
1. Licensed for the work
Rapid Service Plumbing is a licensed plumbing business and our licence details are published on this site. Plumbing, drainage and gas fitting are licensed trades in New South Wales, and every plumber who attends a job in Jamisontown is licensed for the work they carry out.2. A written quote before we start
You get a written quote before any work starts, covering labour, parts and any other costs. If we find something unexpected once we are on site, we stop and talk it through with you before going further.
3. We find the cause, not just the symptom
A drain that keeps blocking or a tap that keeps dripping usually has an underlying reason. Where it matters we will investigate properly, including a camera inspection on drainage, so you are deciding with the full picture rather than paying twice for the same problem.
4. Options explained, not one answer
Repair and replacement are often both possible, and they suit different situations. We will tell you what each involves and what it means for the life of the fixture, then leave the decision with you.
5. Safety-sensitive work treated as such
Gas, hot water and anything involving water near electrical fittings carry real risk. We will tell you plainly when something should not be attempted at home and when a licensed professional needs to handle it.

Plumbing questions from Jamisontown residents
Questions we are regularly asked. If yours is not answered here, call the Sydney office on 02 9099 9138.
How do I know whether something is urgent?
As a rough guide, treat it as urgent if water is escaping and you cannot stop it, if there is no water at all, if sewage is coming back inside, or if you can smell gas. Most other problems can be booked in. If water is flowing, turning off the mains stop tap buys time either way.
What information helps when I call?
Whatever you can tell us about the pattern. Whether one fixture is affected or several, whether it started suddenly or came on gradually, and whether anything changed just before it began. Those three details narrow the likely cause considerably before anyone arrives, which means less time spent diagnosing on site.
What should I do first when a pipe has burst?
Stop the water at the mains stop tap, then deal with electrical safety before anything else.
Water and electricity together are a serious hazard. If a leak is running near a switchboard, a power point, downlights or an electric hot water unit, switch off at the mains only if the switchboard itself is dry and safe to reach, then keep everyone clear and call a licensed plumber. An electrician may also be needed.
Should I clean up before taking photographs?
Photograph first if it is safe to do so. Images taken before cleanup show the extent of what happened, which is difficult to reconstruct afterwards. Keep any failed part as well, since it shows what actually failed.
Will my insurance cover this?
That depends entirely on your policy and your insurer, and it is a question for them rather than for us. What we can provide is an accurate description of the fault and the work carried out, which is generally what is asked for.
