Plumbing Services in Gladesville, NSW 2111
Our Gladesville plumbers handle every kind of plumbing work, from a leaking tap in a unit to a full drain reline under a period home. Whatever plumbing services you need, we inspect the problem properly, explain it simply and give you a fixed price before we begin.
Blocked drains are the most common call-out for plumbers in Gladesville, where older clay pipes, leaf litter, grease and tree roots slow drains down. We camera the line to locate the blockage, clear blocked drains with high-pressure jet blasting, and show you on screen exactly what caused the problem. Most blocked drains are cleared the same day, before wastewater can damage your home.
Where drains have cracked, or roots have broken through the joints, pipe relining repairs the pipe from the inside - no digging up courtyards, driveways or shared gardens. The new liner restores full flow through the drainage system and seals it against roots for decades, which makes pipe relining ideal for Gladesville’s tight blocks and strata properties.
No hot water? We repair, service and replace gas, electric, solar and heat-pump hot water systems from all major brands - from compact units in modern apartments to larger systems in family homes. If your hot water is leaking, running cold or cutting out, we’ll give you an honest repair-or-replace call and have hot water flowing again fast, usually the same day.
Our licensed gas fitting team installs and services cooktops, ovens, heaters and gas hot water, runs new gas lines and supplies compliance certificates for every installation. If you ever smell gas, treat it as urgent: call us anytime, keep the space ventilated, and we will test, isolate and make the system safe.
From leaking taps and running toilets to burst pipes and the hidden water leaks that quietly push up your bill, our plumbers solve the everyday problems and the hard-to-find ones. Acoustic and thermal leak detection equipment pinpoints the source with minimal disruption - essential in a unit or a heritage home.
Plumbing emergencies don’t keep business hours. Burst pipes, blocked toilets, gas leaks and overflowing drains get worse the longer they wait - and in a unit block, one problem can quickly become the neighbours’ problem too. We answer Gladesville emergency calls 24/7, seven days a week, with the price agreed before work starts and no fee just to attend.
What a Local Plumber in Gladesville Needs to Know
Gladesville sits on the northern bank of the Parramatta River, about 10 km from the Sydney CBD, and is split between two councils - the City of Ryde and the Municipality of Hunter’s Hill. The land slopes toward the water and its parks, and the housing is a genuine mix: Federation and Californian bungalow homes, harbourside properties, and plenty of modern apartments along Victoria Road.
That variety shapes the plumbing. Older homes still run clay drains and ageing galvanised pipes, unit blocks bring shared stacks and common drains, and the slope toward the river makes stormwater its own problem in heavy rain. Our team works across the whole suburb - houses, units, strata and the businesses along Victoria Road - with CCTV cameras, jet blasters, leak-detection gear and gas-testing equipment on every van, so a local plumber can check, diagnose and solve most plumbing problems on the first visit.

Common Plumbing Problems Our Gladesville Plumbers Solve
Plumbing trouble in Gladesville clusters around a few causes: the age of the homes, the density of the units and the fall of the land toward the river. Here’s what usually drives each problem - and how our hardworking plumbers 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 Gladesville 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.
