Plumber in Warrawee - 24/7 Emergency Plumbing
Warrawee is one of the few Sydney suburbs with no shops and no apartment towers, just large heritage homes set back on some of the biggest blocks on the Upper North Shore. Plumbing on properties like these runs long, runs old and hides under established gardens, so it pays to call someone who works on them every week. We handle the lot in Warrawee: blocked drains, hot water, gas, pipe relining, leak detection and after-hours emergencies, with same-day help, a fixed price quoted up front and no call-out fee.

Plumbing Services in Warrawee, NSW 2074
Because Warrawee is almost entirely homes, the work here leans toward big residential jobs: long sewer runs, multiple bathrooms, pools and gardens, and drainage first laid decades ago. We take on everything from a dripping tap to a full reline, and you will always know the cause and the price before we begin.
Blocked drains are the call we get most in Warrawee, and on these tree-lined blocks, the cause is usually roots or a tired old line struggling under a large garden. We send a CCTV camera down first, jet the blockage out under high pressure, and show you on screen why it happened, so it does not catch you out again.
On a Warrawee property, the garden, driveway and paving are often worth as much care as the pipe itself. Relining rebuilds a cracked or root-damaged drain from the inside, with no trench across the lawn, leaving a seamless pipe that outlasts the original.
Large homes go through a lot of hot water, so when a system runs cold or starts leaking, we treat it as urgent. We repair and replace every type, gas, electric, solar and heat pump, and match the new unit to a household that may be running several bathrooms at once.
Gas Fitting Warrawee
Cooktops, ovens, heaters, gas hot water and new gas lines all call for a licensed gas fitter, and we complete the work with compliance certificates to match. If you ever smell gas, step outside and phone us straight away, and we will make the property safe first.
On a large block, a slow leak can run for months before anyone notices, soaking the ground and lifting the water bill. We pinpoint it with acoustic and thermal equipment rather than digging on a hunch, and we are there fast when a pipe lets go altogether.
Burst pipes and sewer overflows do not wait for business hours. We answer emergency calls across Warrawee day and night, every day of the year, often same-day, with the price agreed before we start and nothing is charged just to come out.
What Makes Plumbing in Warrawee Different
Warrawee is unusual. It has no shopping strip and no unit blocks, just quiet, leafy streets of substantial homes between Turramurra and Wahroonga, much of it inside heritage conservation areas and some of it bordering the grounds of Knox Grammar and Abbotsleigh. The blocks are large, the gardens are mature, and a good number of the houses have stood for the better part of a century.
That makes for a particular kind of plumbing. Sewer and stormwater lines run a long way beneath established gardens, original earthenware and galvanised pipe is still in service, and big homes place heavy demand on hot water. Tree roots, hidden leaks and stormwater across large blocks are the jobs we see most. We come ready to diagnose all of it on the first visit, with CCTV cameras, jetters, leak-detection gear and gas-testing equipment on every van.

Common Plumbing Problems We Fix in Warrawee
A few issues come up again and again on Warrawee’s big residential blocks. Here is what tends to be behind them, and the way we actually put each one right.
Tree Roots in Old Earthenware Drains
Warrawee’s streets are among the leafiest on the North Shore, and those same trees send roots searching for the moisture inside old earthenware drains. They slip in through tiny cracks at the joints, then thicken into a mass that slows the flow and, in time, blocks it altogether.
We camera the line to find every entry point, clear it with high-pressure jetting, and where the pipe has cracked, we line it so the roots have no way back in.
Worn-Out Pipework in Period Homes
Plenty of Warrawee homes are old enough that their original pipework is well past its design life. Galvanised supply lines corrode and narrow, copper develops pinhole leaks, and earthenware drains crack and drop at the joints, which is why so many problems here trace back to the pipes themselves.
We confirm the fault with a camera or leak detection, then reline or replace only the affected section and tidy the surface so you would barely know we had been there.
Hot Water Struggling in Large Homes
A big Warrawee home with several bathrooms can overwhelm a hot water system that coped easily when it was new. The signs are familiar: showers that turn cold, pressure that fades, and a unit that finally quits at the worst possible time.
We work out whether a repair will hold, and if it will not, we size a replacement around how the home actually uses water, usually getting it running the same day.
Blocked Drains in Big Established Gardens
Outside, the mix of large gardens, constant leaf fall and decades-old drainage means outdoor drains and gully traps clog quietly until they overflow. By the time it shows, the blockage is usually well down the line.
We locate and clear the blockage at its source, then camera the run to check whether it is a one-off or a sign the pipe needs relining.
Stormwater, Pools and Driveway Runoff
Big blocks shed a lot of water. Pools, long driveways and planted gardens all feed stormwater pits that silt up over time, so a heavy storm can leave water pooling on the lawn or running back toward the house.
We clear and inspect the pits and stormwater lines, check the falls, and repair or re-lay pipe so the runoff is carried safely away from the building.
Slow Leaks Hiding on Large Properties
On a big property a leak has plenty of room to hide. Water can seep under a slab, behind a wall or out in the garden for months, damaging the structure and lifting the bill while staying out of sight.
We trace it precisely with acoustic and thermal leak detection, then repair just the spot at fault, with no exploratory digging or demolition.

Real Reviews from Satisfied Clients
I really appreciated the honest advice, attention to detail, and fair pricing. I highly recommend R&G Plumbing to anyone looking for reliable, fairly priced, and professional plumbing services.
Thank you again to the entire R&G Plumbing team!
Initially, it looked like the floor would need to be dug up for a 1.5 day job$$, which we couldn’t afford. Instead, Jack kept investigating and found another access point through our neighbour’s carpark ceiling. He organised access to neighbours garage, removed the roots, and repaired the pipe at a much more affordable price. The roots were way worse than we expected.
As a young couple and first home buyers, this was our first time dealing with a plumber and we were pretty stressed since we thought it was a simple blockage but it turned out to be a complex issue. I gotta check the drainage when im purchase property in the future. Learnt my lesson!
Jeremy and Zac explained everything clearly and provided a detailed report and invoice so we can raise it with strata, as the drainage is linked to other units and may have further issues.
Really grateful for the honesty and effort. We’ve definitely found a plumber we trust and would happily connect with Jeremy’s team again.
