Plumbing services in Quakers Hill
From a blocked drain to a hot water replacement, we cover the ordinary range of household plumbing in Quakers Hill. We diagnose before we quote, and the quote comes in writing before any work starts. If a job turns out to be larger than it looked, we would rather tell you that at the start than halfway through.
Our plumbing services in Quakers Hill
Blocked drains and camera inspections, hot water, leaking pipes, backflow prevention devices, 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 Quakers Hill 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 Quakers Hill residents
Questions we are regularly asked. If yours is not answered here, call the Sydney office on 02 9099 9138.
Does this work need a licensed plumber?
For most of it, yes. Plumbing, drainage and gas fitting are licensed trades in New South Wales. Simple household tasks such as changing a tap washer are generally fine to do yourself. Anything connecting to the drainage system, the water supply or a gas line is not. If you are unsure, ask before starting rather than after.
Is there anything I should do before the plumber arrives?
Clear access to the area if you can, and know where your mains stop tap is. If the problem involves a fixture that is still leaking, turning off the isolating valve under it, or the mains if there is no isolator, prevents further damage while you wait.
What actually causes backflow?
A pressure drop in the water main, which can happen during a burst, a firefighting draw or maintenance work. The drop creates suction, and anything connected to the supply at that moment can be pulled back toward it.
Do I need a backflow device on a garden tap?
It depends on the risk and on the arrangement. Higher risk connections such as irrigation systems, alternative water supplies and some commercial equipment require testable devices. For an ordinary garden tap the practical rule is not to leave a hose end submerged in anything.
How often do backflow devices need testing?
Testable devices are subject to a periodic testing requirement and the test has to be carried out by someone qualified for it, with the results recorded. If you have a device fitted and do not know when it was last tested, that is worth establishing.
