Epping’s plumbing is changing as quickly as the suburb. Close to the station, apartment buildings depend on shared stacks, isolation points and common drainage. A few streets away, a renovated bathroom or kitchen may still be connected to services installed decades earlier.
We clear blocked drains, repair hot water systems, find hidden leaks, reline damaged drains, carry out licensed gas work and respond to urgent plumbing problems 24/7, with a $0 call-out fee and a fixed price approved before work starts.

If one drain is slow, we start locally. If several fixtures are backing up together, we look further down the line. CCTV inspection and high-pressure jetting help separate a simple obstruction from roots, a damaged joint or a shared blockage.
Where a cracked underground drain is suitable, relining can rebuild the damaged section from inside the existing pipe and avoid a long excavation through paving, driveways or established gardens.
We repair and replace electric, gas, solar, heat-pump and continuous-flow systems. The first question is whether the fault is repairable; the second is whether the existing unit still suits how the property is being used today.
Licensed gas fitting for cooktops, heaters, hot water units and pipework, including testing and compliant repair where a leak or appliance fault is suspected.
Burst pipes, sewage backing up, major leaks and urgent gas concerns are prioritised day or night. We make the immediate problem safe, explain the repair and confirm the price before proceeding.
Epping Town Centre was rezoned for higher-density mixed-use development in 2013, while established residential streets and multiple heritage conservation areas remain part of the suburb. The result is plumbing from very different building eras sitting close together.
At an Epping address, we first work out what was built when, what has been altered since and whether the fault sits in the newer work or the older service it still relies on.

The same symptom can point to a different repair depending on how much of the system is affected. These patterns tell us where to start.
We start at the fixture and its branch line. A local blockage, worn valve or failed fitting should not be treated like a whole-property problem.
That moves the investigation downstream. In a house, it may be the main drain; in an apartment building, it may be a shared branch, stack or common line.
New fixtures can expose an older weakness. We check the connection, drainage condition, pressure and hot-water capacity before blaming the new fitting.
Water can travel through walls, floors and cabinetry. We trace the source before opening surfaces so the repair area stays small.
Intermittent faults can relate to valves, controls or capacity. Testing first avoids replacing a unit that still has useful life.
A repeat blockage is a reason to camera the line. Roots, cracks or a damaged joint may need repair rather than another temporary clear.
Whether the address is an older home, a renovated property or a unit near the station, our first job is to establish where the failure actually sits. That keeps the quote tied to evidence rather than guesswork and helps avoid repeat work on the same underlying problem.
In a multi-storey building, the first clue is how many lots are affected. That tells us whether to stay inside one apartment or trace the shared system.
If only one apartment is affected
A single blocked basin, toilet or shower usually keeps the first checks inside that unit and its immediate branch. We isolate the local fault before escalating it into a building-wide job.
If several units or floors are affected
When the same symptom appears in several lots, a common stack or shared drain becomes more likely. We trace the route, inspect or clear it at the appropriate access point and record what we found.

A new room does not automatically mean new plumbing behind it. In established Epping properties, renovated wet areas can still rely on much older drainage and water services.
Check what the new fixtures are connecting into
Before altering wet areas, we check whether the existing drain is sound and suitable. CCTV can reveal cracks, root entry or damaged sections before new finishes make access harder.
Match pressure and hot water to the new layout
An extra bathroom or larger shower can expose pressure and hot-water limitations. We check the supply and system capacity instead of assuming a bigger unit is automatically the answer.
Treat stormwater as part of the site change
Extensions, paving and driveway changes can alter runoff. We check that pits, downpipes and underground stormwater lines still move rainwater away effectively.










For eligible Epping drain, sewer or stormwater work, include a CCTV inspection so the condition of the line is visible before repair is recommended, especially for repeat blockages or older drains.
No. R&G Plumbing has a $0 call-out fee in Epping. We inspect the problem, explain what is required and price the approved work before starting.
A repeat blockage can mean roots, cracks or a damaged joint are still catching waste. CCTV inspection shows whether the line needs another clear or a structural repair such as relining.
We can locate the fault and document what we find. Whether that section is private or common property depends on the strata plan and management arrangements; our role is to provide the plumbing evidence.
Yes, especially for larger kitchen, bathroom or laundry work. Existing drainage, water pressure and hot-water capacity can affect the result even when the new fixtures are installed correctly.
Often, yes. If CCTV shows the pipe is suitable, relining can repair the damaged section from inside the existing line without a long trench.
