Plumbing Services in an emergency in Clifton Gardens
We deal with a dripping tap to a flooded-out basement. This is what we are most often criticized about in Clifton Gardens and the rest of the Mosman region.
Burst & Leaking Pipes
A broken pipe will empty hundreds of litres of your walls or floor before you realise it. We isolate, cut out and reline or replace the damaged area quickly, reducing water damage to your home.
EmergencyBlocked Drains
Top call-out on older Mosman properties is tree root intrusion. We have CCTV cameras to find the blockage and then push it out with high pressure jetting, no guesswork, no irrelevant excavations.
EmergencyHot Water Failure
There is nothing worse than a winter without hot water. We have a variety of parts of the most popular brands, Rheem, Dux, Rinnai, Bosch, and can often fix a unit on the spot. In case of replacement, we will inform you about the reasons why we should do so.
Same DayToilet Overflows & Blockages
One of the more stressful household emergencies is a blocked toilet. We will clear the blockage to the last drop and inspect the pipes on whether they have any underlying damages that could lead to the recurrence of the same issue.
EmergencyGas Leaks
In case of any smell of gas, get out of the premises and call us as soon as possible. Our plumbers are all current gas fitting licenced, and are legally capable of isolating, testing and repairing residential gas lines safely and lawfully.
EmergencyLow Water Pressure
Weak shower pressure or slow-filling taps are some of the indicators that point to the existence of a hidden leak or the presence of a broken pressure-limiting valve. We will find out the real problem and not give a band-aid.
Same DayThe reason behind Clifton Gardens Homes.
Need a Specialist
Clifton Gardens isn't like most Sydney suburbs. The awareness of the specific housing stock, of the soil conditions, of the water pressure oddities, that is, of the area, really influences the attitude taken to a job.
Heritage Properties & Older Pipe Materials
Much of Clifton Gardens is located in older Mosman housing stock, Federation-era houses and post-war brick veneers that were initially plumbed with galvanised steel or terracotta pipes. Both materials age not well. Galvanised pipes are corroded internally and are narrowed down over time until they break. Terracotta joins are brittle and have no resistance to intrusion by tree roots.
When we go to a Clifton Gardens property and discover these materials we know how many useful lives remain, and not merely to mend the symptom and leave you to the consequences of the next failure in six months.
Harbour-Adjacent Corrosion
The properties near Chowder Bay and Clifton Gardens reserve are more exposed to ambient humidity and salt-air than the inland suburbs. This increases the rate of corrosion in external fittings, bare copper joins and any galvanised steel that has not already been renewed over years. It is a minor yet material consideration that we consider when advising on repair or replacement.
Typical Clifton Gardens Plumbing Problems that we encounter.
The most common emergency jobs according to our call-outs in Mosman 2088 (in which Clifton Gardens falls) include:
- Intrusion by tree roots into storm water and sewer lines, the established gardens on larger Clifton Gardens blocks, the roots of mature fig, jacaranda and eucalyptus plants frequently find their way into older clay pipes.
- These are experiencing end-of-life failures on gas storage units installed in the early 2000s, which experience hot water failures.
- Flexible hoses under sinks and toilets burst, these are braided hoses, whose life is 10 years on average and cause a disproportional amount of internal flooding.
- Obstructed stormwater drains, particularly when it has been raining, where the leaf debris of trees on the harbour side of the gully fills the older grated gully drains.
- Leaky taps in old houses where the fittings are older than modern ceramic cartridge fittings, and still have rubber washers, which wear out with age.

The Testimonials of our customers.
Actual reviews of actual customers, most of whom are located in the Mosman and Lower North Shore.
"Pipe burst behind kitchen wall one Sunday morning they were at the door within an hour, they diagnosed the problem within minutes and quoted me a price before they touched anything and had it fixed before lunch."
"I was panicking about a gas smell in the area of the hot water system, the plumber answered the phone in a very calm and professional manner and explained what to do and had the faulty fitting sorted before dinner."
"One of the stories is: "Arrived to unblock a toilet on a weeknight and they came out and cleared it and found a root intrusion some 4 metres below the surface that would have led to a much larger issue a few months later. Glad they were thorough enough to check it with a camera."
