From the heritage homes on Gordon’s leafy residential streets to the apartments and shops around Gordon station and the Pacific Highway, we cover every kind of plumbing for houses, units, strata and small commercial sites. Every job starts with a proper inspection, a clear explanation and an upfront quote.
Slow sinks, gurgling toilets and drains backing up are some of the most common calls we get in Gordon, where mature trees and original clay sewer lines are a tough combination. We use a CCTV drain camera to locate the blockage, clear it with high-pressure water jetting and show you exactly what caused it so it does not return.
If the camera finds a cracked, sagging or root-damaged pipe, we can rebuild it from the inside with no-dig pipe relining. That keeps Gordon’s established gardens, sandstone paths, driveways and lawns intact, while giving you a pipe that is stronger than the original.
No hot water, rusty water, a leaking tank or a unit that keeps cutting out? We repair and replace gas, electric, solar and heat-pump hot water systems, and size the right unit for everything from a single apartment to a large family home.
Our licensed gas fitters install and service cooktops, ovens, heaters, gas hot water and gas lines, and issue compliance certificates. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, call us immediately. We test the line, isolate the fault and make the area safe before anything else.
Leaking taps, running toilets, burst pipes, worn mixers, faulty valves and the everyday faults that come with older Gordon homes. We carry the common parts on the van, keep the work tidy and explain the repair before we begin.
Burst pipe, sewer overflow, major leak or no hot water after hours? Our 24/7 emergency plumbers cover Gordon every day of the year, with no call-out fee and a clear price agreed before we start.
Gordon sits in the heart of the Upper North Shore in the Ku-ring-gai council area, about 14 km north of the Sydney CBD on the North Shore train line. It is a mix of grand Federation, inter-war and post-war homes on large, leafy blocks, plus a town centre and apartment buildings clustered around Gordon station and the Pacific Highway. That blend of heritage houses, established trees and strata units gives the suburb a very particular plumbing profile.
It also explains the problems we are called to most: tree roots forcing their way into ageing clay sewer lines, original galvanised and copper pipework reaching the end of its life, stormwater struggling on bush-fringed blocks, and shared drainage faults in the unit complexes. Every R&G van carries CCTV drain cameras, hydro-jetters, leak-detection equipment and gas-testing gear, so we diagnose the issue properly on the first visit and give you honest options and a fixed price before we start.

Clay & earthenware
Heritage homes & strata units
These are the issues we are called to most often around Gordon. Each one needs a proper diagnosis, because the symptom you can see is rarely the full story.
Gordon’s mature tree canopy is one of its best features and the single biggest cause of blocked drains here. Fine roots find the smallest crack in an old clay or earthenware joint, then grow until the line gurgles, smells or backs up, usually worst after heavy rain.
We run a CCTV camera to find every root entry point, clear the line with high-pressure jetting, then recommend pipe relining where the pipe is cracked so the roots cannot return through the same joint.
Many older Gordon homes still run on their original underground drainage and decades-old galvanised or copper supply pipes. Over time, these crack, corrode, sag or separate at the joints, causing low pressure, discoloured water, recurring blockages and hidden leaks.
We pinpoint the damaged section with a camera or leak-detection equipment, then repair or reline it, replacing only what needs replacing and reinstating the surface afterwards.
From single-bathroom apartments to large family homes, Gordon’s hot water systems eventually run cold, lose pressure, leak or trip out. Sometimes it is a valve or thermostat; sometimes the unit has simply reached the end of its life.
We test the existing system and repair it where that makes sense. When it is beyond economic repair, we recommend and install a unit sized correctly for the household, often the same day.
Indoors, grease, soap, hair and food scraps gradually narrow the pipe until a sink, basin or shower drains at a crawl. A plunger or supermarket drain cleaner clears the surface but leaves the cause sitting in the line.p>
We clear the waste line properly, flush it through and check whether it is a local build-up or an early sign of a deeper drain fault.
Gordon’s apartment blocks and townhouses around the station share stacks, common drains and hot water across multiple homes, so one fault can affect several residents and quickly become a strata matter.
We trace the issue across the affected lines, provide clear reports and invoicing for strata managers, and repair it with as little disruption to neighbours as possible.
Gordon’s bush-fringed, often sloping blocks drop a heavy load of leaf litter and silt into pits and outdoor drains, so heavy rain can overwhelm any stormwater line that is not flowing freely and push water back toward the house.
We clear pits and outdoor drains, check the falls, and repair cracked or collapsed stormwater pipework before the next downpour finds it.p>
