Artarmon is really three suburbs in one, divided by the rail line and the motorway: a leafy grid of Federation and bungalow homes in the conservation area, apartment blocks toward the west, and one of the North Shore’s larger commercial and industrial estates down toward the highway, with the Hampden Road village tying it together. In the City of Willoughby on the North Shore line, it keeps a plumber busy across houses, units, warehouses and showrooms alike.
We cover the lot, blocked drains, hot water, gas, pipe relining, leak detection and 24/7 plumbing emergencies, with a fixed price up front and no call-out fee.

NSW Licensed & Insured (residential & commercial)
From a heritage home in the conservation area to a warehouse or showroom in the estate and a unit by the station, Artarmon spans just about every kind of plumbing. We work across all of it, around your household or your trading hours, and settle the cause and the cost before we begin.
Blocked drains in Artarmon range from roots in an old clay line under a Federation home to a grease- or debris-choked drain in a busy workshop or kitchen. We camera the line to find the blockage, clear it with high-pressure jetting, and trace it to the source so it does not keep returning.
Whether it is a heritage backyard or a working warehouse floor, digging is disruptive and slow, so we reline the damaged pipe from the inside instead. The cured liner restores full flow, seals out roots, and outlasts the pipe around it, with little mess to home or business.
We repair and replace hot water for houses, apartments and commercial premises, gas, electric, solar, heat-pump and continuous-flow, including the larger units that serve a workplace or a block. If yours is leaking, cold or cutting out, we give a straight repair-or-replace answer fast.
Our licensed gas fitters cover domestic and commercial work, from home cooktops and heaters to commercial kitchens and new gas lines, with compliance certificates supplied. If you ever suspect gas, call us, move people clear of the area, and we will test, isolate and make the site safe before any other work.
A hidden leak wastes water and damages a building, whether it is a home or a warehouse, so along with everyday taps, toilets and burst pipes, we pinpoint the ones you cannot see with acoustic and thermal detection, quickly and with little mess.
A burst pipe at home or a drain backing up at a business cannot wait. We take Artarmon emergency calls at any hour, on any day of the year, and are usually there the same day, with the price set before we start and nothing to pay just for turning up.
Artarmon is a mixed and busy suburb on the Lower North Shore, in the City of Willoughby at postcode 2064, about 9 km from the city on the North Shore railway line. The eastern side is a heritage conservation area, full of Federation houses and Californian bungalows on tree-lined streets, the western side carries apartment blocks and towers, and the area toward the Pacific Highway and the motorway holds a large commercial and industrial estate, offices, showrooms, auto trades and light manufacturing. The Hampden Road village runs through the middle, and the Lane Cove River and Artarmon Reserve sit on the western edge.
That mix shapes the plumbing. The older homes bring clay drains, tree roots and ageing pipework; the estate brings commercial amenities, trade waste, backflow and hot water plant; and the station apartments bring shared stacks and strata work. We cover all three, for owners, tenants, strata and businesses, and carry CCTV cameras, jet blasters, leak detection and gas-testing gear for both domestic and commercial jobs.

Homes, apartments & industry
Because Artarmon is part heritage homes, part apartments and part working estate, its plumbing problems cover a wide range. These are the jobs we get called to most, with what is really behind each and the way we fix it.
Artarmon’s commercial and industrial estate is full of warehouses, showrooms, workshops and offices, all needing amenities, trade-waste drainage, backflow protection and hot water that cannot be down through the working day.
We schedule around your trading, service and certify backflow and trade waste where required, and get the essentials back on fast, keeping interruptions to the business to a minimum.
Artarmon’s conservation area is lined with established trees, and their roots push into the joints of the old clay drains beneath the houses, where they catch waste and grow until the line slows, smells or backs up, almost always worse after rain.
We send the camera through to spot each root intrusion, blast it out with the jetter, and reline the broken length so the roots have no way back in.
Many Artarmon homes date back a century, and a good number still run original galvanised, copper and earthenware pipes that corrode, crack, and leak, showing up as low-pressure, discoloured water or damp with no clear source.
We track down the bad run with a camera or leak detection, then renew or reline just that part and leave the rest of the pipework as it is.
The apartment blocks around Artarmon station share stacks, common drains and hot water systems, so a fault in one unit often begins elsewhere in the building and becomes a common-property matter.
We work the fault back through the shared stacks and lines, deal with the strata or building manager directly, and fix it with proper reporting and the least possible upset to other residents.
From a family home to a showroom, staffroom or a cafe in the estate, an ageing hot water system in Artarmon fails the same way: no heat, dropping pressure, leaks or a unit that trips out at the worst time.
We test the system, repair it where that makes sense, and when it is beyond saving, we fit a replacement sized to the home or the workplace, usually the same day.
Workshops, showrooms and food businesses across the estate put grease, sediment and heavy use through their drains, so blockages here are frequent and urgent, with a real risk of an overflow that stops work.
We jet the line back to clear, run the camera to find the cause, and recommend grease or trade-waste management, or a reline, where the same spot keeps blocking.
