Need a plumber in Turramurra? R&G Plumbing is on call across the whole suburb, from the shops and flats around the station to the big family homes and steep bush blocks of South Turramurra. We clear blocked drains, fix hot water and gas, reline old pipes, find hidden leaks and respond fast after hours, with a proper diagnosis and a fixed price before any work begins.
Turramurra covers a lot of ground, from a busy village centre to quiet streets that drop away into bushland gullies. We look after houses, units and the local shops alike, and every job starts the same way: we find the real cause, explain it in plain language and put an upfront price in front of you.
Around Turramurra, a slow or gurgling drain usually traces back to tree roots, silt washing down off the slopes, or a build up in an older line. We send a camera in to see the blockage for ourselves, then clear it with high pressure jetting so it actually stays clear.
If the camera turns up a cracked or root damaged pipe, we can repair it from the inside instead of trenching your yard. Relining suits Turramurra's sloping, often bush backed blocks, where digging is awkward and gardens are hard won.
No hot water, a leaking tank or a unit that keeps dropping out? We service and replace gas, electric, solar and heat pump systems, and on the larger Turramurra homes we make sure the new unit is sized for the demand rather than just swapped in.
Our licensed gas fitters install and service cooktops, heaters, gas hot water and gas lines to code. If you can smell gas or suspect a leak, treat it as urgent: call us, keep the area ventilated and we will trace it, isolate it and make everything safe.
Dripping taps, a constantly running toilet, a tired mixer, a burst pipe or a valve that has had enough. We handle the everyday repairs that come with an older Turramurra home, keep the work tidy and explain what we are doing before we start.
Burst pipe late at night, a sewer overflow or hot water that has died at the worst time? Our Turramurra emergency plumbers are available 24/7, with no call out fee and a clear price agreed before we get to work.
Turramurra is one of the larger Upper North Shore suburbs, with a proper shopping village around the station and homes that run from grand Federation houses to post war family homes and newer townhouses. A lot of it sits on hilly, bush fringed land near Lane Cove National Park, so the ground is steep and sandy in places. Add decades old clay drainage and a heavy tree canopy, and you get the issues we see here most: blocked and broken drains, stormwater that struggles in heavy rain, and hot water systems past their best.
We work the whole of Turramurra, from the village and the flats near the line to South and North Turramurra and the streets backing onto the bush. Our vans carry CCTV cameras, hydro jetters, leak detection and gas testing gear, so we can settle the diagnosis on the first visit. You get a straight answer, sensible options and a price before anything starts.
A few plumbing problems turn up again and again across Turramurra, and the terrain and the age of the homes explain most of them. Here is what usually lies behind each one, and how we fix it so it does not keep coming back.
Turramurra's mature canopy and bush borders mean roots are never far from the drainage. They work into the smallest crack in an old clay joint and keep growing, until the line gurgles, smells or backs up, often worst after a downpour.
We camera the drain to find every entry point, jet it clear, and if the pipe is cracked we explain how relining stops the roots returning through the same joint.
Many Turramurra homes still run on the original earthenware drains, and the sloping ground does not help. Over time pipes crack, joints pull apart and sections slip downhill, letting in soil and roots and causing blockages that keep coming back.
We map the damage on camera, then reline the run from the inside where the pipe suits it. Where it does not, we dig only the small section that needs it and reinstate the surface afterwards.
The larger family homes around Turramurra put real demand on a hot water system, with several bathrooms and a laundry drawing at once. Older units respond by running cool, losing pressure or failing without much warning.
We test the existing system and repair it where that makes sense. When it is genuinely spent, we size the replacement to the household instead of guessing.
Inside, grease, soap and hair gradually coat the pipe until a sink, basin or shower drains at a crawl. A plunger or a bottle of drain cleaner clears the surface but leaves the real cause sitting in the pipe.
We clear the waste properly and check whether it was a one off build up or a sign of trouble further down the line.
Turramurra's hills and bush borders send a lot of leaf litter and silt into stormwater pits and outdoor drains. On a steep block, a clogged pit during heavy rain quickly sends water back toward the house or down where it is not wanted.
We clear the pits and outdoor lines, check the falls suit the slope, and repair any cracked stormwater pipe before the next big rain finds it.
Plenty of Turramurra homes have had gas added or upgraded over the years. An ageing connection, an odd smell or a heater that is not burning cleanly is worth checking, especially heading into winter.
We pressure test the line, trace the fault, repair it and confirm the whole installation is compliant and safe before it goes back into use.
"Drain blocked on a Saturday and they were out within the hour. Jetted it clear, showed me the camera and charged what they quoted. No complaints at all."
"Pipe had cracked on a sloping section of the yard. They relined it rather than digging the whole thing up. Quick, tidy and well priced."
"Hot water died on a Sunday night and they had a new system in by Monday afternoon. Fair price and a friendly crew."
"Roots had got right into the sewer. Camera, jet, then a reline of the bad part. Done properly instead of just cleared for a while."
"Knew an older home on a steep block would be tricky. They took their time, found a hidden leak and explained the plan before starting."
