Plumbing Services in Gladesville, NSW 2111
Gladesville packs a lot into a small area, older homes, unit blocks and the shops along Victoria Road, so the work ranges from a single blocked toilet in an apartment to a full sewer reline under a period home. Whatever it is, we diagnose it properly, explain it simply and quote it before we begin.
Blocked drains are the bread and butter of plumbing in Gladesville, where older clay sewers, leaf litter and the occasional tree root team up to slow everything down. We camera the line to find the blockage, clear it with high-pressure jet blasting, and show you on screen what was behind it.
Where a drain has cracked or roots have broken in, we can reline it from the inside instead of digging up a courtyard, driveway or shared garden. The new liner restores full flow and seals the joints, which is ideal for Gladesville’s tight blocks and strata properties.
Whether it is a compact unit in an apartment or a larger system in a family home, we repair and replace gas, electric, solar and heat-pump hot water. If yours is leaking, running cold or tripping out, we will give you an honest repair-or-replace call and sort it fast.
Our licensed gas fitters install and service cooktops, ovens, heaters and gas hot water, run new gas lines and supply compliance certificates. If you ever smell gas, leave it to the professionals: call us, keep the space ventilated, and we will test, isolate and make it safe.
From dripping taps and running toilets to burst pipes and the slow leaks that drive up a water bill, we handle the everyday and the hidden. Acoustic and thermal leak detection lets us find the source with the least disruption, which matters in a unit or a heritage home.
A burst pipe or an overflowing toilet does not wait, and in an apartment, it can affect the neighbours fast. We answer Gladesville emergency calls around the clock, every day of the year, often same-day, with the price agreed before we start and no fee just to attend.
What a Gladesville Plumber Needs to Know About the Area
Gladesville sits on the northern bank of the Parramatta River, about 10 km north-west of the city, and it is split between two councils, the City of Ryde and the Municipality of Hunter’s Hill. The land rolls down toward the water, so many blocks slope and some enjoy river views, and the housing is a real mix: Federation and Californian bungalow homes, harbourside houses, and a large number of apartments along Victoria Road and near the shops.
That variety drives the plumbing. Older homes still run clay sewers and ageing galvanised or cast iron pipes, apartments bring shared stacks and common drains, and the slope toward the river makes stormwater its own issue in heavy rain. We work across the whole suburb, houses, units, strata and the small businesses along Victoria Road, with CCTV cameras, jet blasters, leak-detection gear and gas-testing equipment on every van so we can sort it on the first visit.

Common Plumbing Problems We Fix in Gladesville
Plumbing trouble in Gladesville tends to cluster around a few issues: the age of the homes, the density of the units and the fall of the land toward the river. Below is what usually causes each one, and the way we put it right for good.
Tree Roots in Old Clay Sewers
Many Gladesville homes still drain through clay sewer pipes laid decades ago, and the suburb’s established street trees send roots straight to the moisture at the joints. Once they are in, they catch debris, and the drain starts to gurgle, smell or back up.
We camera the line to map the roots, cut and flush them out with high-pressure jetting, and reline the cracked section so they cannot grow back through the same joint.
Strata and Apartment Plumbing Faults
With so many unit blocks in Gladesville, a lot of the plumbing here is shared, common stacks, shared drains and hot water serving several homes. A fault in one apartment can quickly become everyone’s problem, and the cause is often a level or two away from where it shows.
We trace the issue across the shared lines, work in with owners and strata managers, and provide clear reporting and invoicing so the right repair happens with minimal disruption.
Stormwater on Blocks That Slope to the River
Gladesville’s land falls toward the Parramatta River, so when stormwater pits and lines silt up, a downpour sends water running downhill, pooling against the house or spilling across a boundary on its way to the water.
We clear and camera the stormwater system, set the falls right where we can, and repair or re-lay pipe so the runoff is carried safely down and away from the buildings.
Corroded Pipework in Period Homes
The Federation and bungalow homes in Gladesville often still carry their original galvanised and cast-iron pipes. Decades on, it rusts, narrows and springs leaks, showing up as poor pressure, discoloured water or damp that appears from nowhere.
We confirm the failing run with a camera or leak detection, then replace or reline only that section and make the surface good, rather than tearing out pipe that is still sound.
Blocked Toilets and Sewer Backups
A blocked toilet or a sewer backing up is the call we treat as most urgent, especially in a unit where it can affect the floors below. It usually points to a blockage or break further down the line rather than the fixture itself.
We clear the blockage fast with the right tool for the line, camera it to find the real cause, and tell you whether a clean-out will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Hidden Leaks Behind Walls and Under Slabs
A slow leak can hide for months in a Gladesville home or unit, soaking into a wall or slab and lifting the water bill while leaving only a faint stain or a musty smell as a clue.
We pinpoint it with acoustic and thermal leak detection, then open up only the spot that needs it, so the repair is quick and the mess is minimal.

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.
