Plumber Gordon
Houses, Units & 24/7 Emergencies
Gordon is the hinge of the Upper North Shore – the suburb where Ku-ring-gai keeps its council chambers, its heritage railway station and its town centre, so it holds two quite different kinds of home at once.
There are the grand Federation and inter-war houses on big, tree-shaded blocks, and there are the apartments and strata complexes packed in around the station and the Pacific Highway.
We handle blocked drains, hot water, gas fitting, water meters, pipe relining, and 24/7 emergencies across the 2072 postcode, with a fixed price agreed before we start and no call-out fee.

Plumbing Services in Gordon, NSW 2072
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.
A Plumber Who Knows Gordon, East Gordon and the Ku-ring-gai Streets
Gordon sits about 14 km north-west of the city on the North Shore line, and it’s the administrative centre of Ku-ring-gai - the council is headquartered here, alongside the heritage station and the shops along the Pacific Highway.
The suburb runs from the leafy heritage streets through East Gordon, east of the highway and rail line, out toward the Ku-ring-gai Bicentennial Park and the Stony Creek bushland. It’s that spread - century-old houses, station-precinct units and the pockets in between - that keeps the work varied, and it’s why every R&G van carries CCTV cameras, jetters, no-dig relining gear, leak detection and meter tools, so we read the fault right the first time and price it before we start.

Common Plumbing Problems We Fix in Gordon
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.
Tree-Root Intrusion in Clay Sewer Lines
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.
Failing Heritage Pipework
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.
Hot Water Breakdowns
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.
Blocked Kitchen, Bathroom and Laundry Drains
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.
Strata and Shared Drainage Faults
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.
Outdoor and Stormwater Drainage
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>
Hot Water, Gas Fitting, Relining and 24/7 Plumbing Emergencies
Beyond drains and meters, we cover the rest of what a Gordon home or block needs: hot water repairs and replacements across electric, solar, heat-pump and continuous-flow units; licensed gas fitting for cooktops, heaters and new lines, with certificates supplied; and no-dig pipe relining for cracked or root-damaged drains.
And when something can’t wait - a burst pipe, a sewer overflow, no hot water overnight - our emergency plumbers answer Gordon calls 24/7, every day of the year, usually within the hour, with the cost agreed before we start.

Plumbing for Gordon’s Heritage Houses and Big Blocks
Gordon’s older streets are lined with large Federation and inter-war homes, and the plumbing under them is the age of the houses. Three faults recur, and we handle all three without tearing up a heritage garden:
Clay drains and tree roots
Original clay and earthenware drains crack and fill with roots from the established trees. We camera the line, jet it clear, and reline the failing section from the inside.
Ageing supply lines and low pressure
Galvanised and early-copper supply lines corrode and narrow after a century, showing up as low pressure or discoloured water. We confirm the failing run and renew just that section.
Long runs and boundary meters
On deep blocks the sewer and stormwater runs are long, so a fault can sit well away from the symptom - and where a supply line or water meter at the front boundary is the real culprit, we trace and repair that too.
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.

Plumbing for the Units and Strata Near Gordon Station
The apartment and townhouse complexes around the town centre are a different job entirely, because so much of the plumbing is shared.
Blocks share stacks, common drains, booster pumps and hot water plant, so a fault in one unit usually starts elsewhere in the building. We trace it through the block and clear blocked kitchen, bathroom and laundry drains at the source.
For anything on common property, we provide the written reports and photos owners and building managers need to approve the work and settle who pays. Units needing individual metering are covered in the water-meter work below.

Book any drain, sewer or stormwater job in Gordon and the CCTV camera inspection is on us. On long heritage-block runs and shared strata lines especially, seeing the real cause on screen means the repair is the right one - and on a common line, it shows exactly whose problem it is.
Plumber Gordon FAQs
Do you repair and replace water meters in Gordon?
Yes - it’s a regular job here. We repair and replace water meters, fix leaks at the meter and the service line running in from the front boundary, and set up strata sub-metering so each unit in a block is billed for its own water. If your bill has jumped or there’s a damp patch near the meter, we’ll locate the cause and coordinate with Sydney Water where the connection needs it.
How much does a plumber cost in Gordon, and is there a call-out fee?
There’s no call-out fee - coming out to assess the job costs nothing. We look at the work, quote a fixed price before we start, and that’s what you pay, whether it’s a tap or a full reline. The quote is free, and there’s no obligation.
Do you cover East Gordon and the streets east of the highway?
Yes, all of it - East Gordon, the station precinct and the heritage streets on both sides of the Pacific Highway and the rail line, right across the 2072 postcode. It’s part of our regular Upper North Shore run, so same-day is usually no problem.

Yes - around the clock, every day of the year, including nights, weekends and public holidays, for burst pipes, blocked drains, sewer overflows, gas concerns and hot water failures, with the cost confirmed before we begin.
Can you clear blocked drains in Gordon homes and units?
Yes. We clear blocked drains in Gordon houses, apartments and strata buildings using CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure water jetting. If tree roots or broken pipework keep causing blockages, we will show you the footage and explain whether pipe relining is the long-term fix.
