What this hub covers, and when to call
Not sure which page you need? Start here. Most calls fall into one of four situations, and each routes to a different corner of this hub:
- Something is broken right now A cistern running nonstop, a mixer that will not shut off, a pipe weeping inside a wall. That is toilet repairs or tap repairs territory, and if water is escaping fast, burst pipes.
- Something is being planned A bathroom renovation, a new dishwasher, a toilet upgrade for a growing family. That is bathroom plumbing, kitchen plumbing, toilet installation and appliance installation.
- Something is hidden A mystery damp patch, a bill creeping up for no reason. That is leak detection, with the gear to find it without demolishing anything.
- Something needs keeping ahead of Which is where maintenance plumbing and the whole-of-house approach of residential plumbing come in.
If the problem is a drain backing up or a hot water system that has died, the drainage hub and the hot water hub hold those. And if water is actively damaging the house, go straight to emergency plumbing.
Clay pipes under the Riverview canopy
Every suburb hands its plumbers a particular set of problems, and this one's set is written into the ground. The thirteen services below are standard trade work, but the houses they are done to are anything but standard.
- Housing built to last, plumbed to age The stock is almost entirely detached, owner-occupied family homes from the pre-1940 and postwar eras, built in brick, double-brick and brick-veneer, and the original sewers beneath them are earthenware, cracked at the joints after decades under deep, heavily treed gardens.
- Roots on the job Bushland on the Warraroon slopes and the foreshore reserves, plus a mature street canopy, keep roots working into every ageing line, so a routine repair often uncovers an older story underneath.
- No two houses alike With very little unit development, there are no shared lines and no committees, and every job needs someone who treats surprise as the baseline behind every wall.
Every service, one directory
Each service below has a dedicated page carrying the full detail: what is covered, how it is priced, how the job runs. This grid is the directory; the sections after it tell you when each one is the right call.

Kitchen plumbing
Looks after sinks, mixers, disposals and renovation waste lines.
Tap repairs
Replaces worn washers, dripping spouts and mixer cartridges.

College bells, bay slopes and how jobs get booked
Two rhythms shape how plumbing work gets scheduled around here, and both are worth knowing before you ring.
- Term-time rhythm St Ignatius' College has anchored the eastern end since 1880, and college traffic defines the morning and afternoon peaks, so trades that book flexible windows rather than rigid hours get more done between the rushes.
- The slope Blocks step down toward Tambourine Bay Park and the foreshores over sandstone benches, putting long downhill drainage runs into jobs that would be routine on flat ground.
- Autumn's second harvest When the heavy canopy lets go, leaf-fall loads gutters and pits across the suburb, which is why gutter-connected faults cluster in the months after the leaves come down.
The thirteen services, one by one
Residential plumbing
One plumber, one plan, every fixture. This service assesses the whole house in priority order, which suits century-old homes whose pipes, fixtures and drains all age together rather than one complaint at a time. Explore residential plumbing.
Maintenance plumbing
A planned schedule of checks on washers, seals, flexible connectors and cisterns. On interwar and 1950s homes between renovations, the faults this catches early cost a fraction of the repairs they become. See what a maintenance visit covers.
Toilet repairs
A cistern running nonstop wastes hundreds of litres a day, and a slow seeping flush quietly soaks a floor. Both are usually a valve, seal or flapper, and the vans carry fittings for the fixture ages found here. Get a cistern sorted.
Toilet installation
New suites for renovations, back-to-wall units for modernised bathrooms, replacements for cracked pans. The old unit comes out, the connection is checked, and the new one goes in level, sealed and tested. Plan a toilet installation.
Bathroom plumbing
Renovations are the steady rhythm of this suburb, and this is where they get complicated: waterproofing edges, mixer recesses, waste falls and original pipes behind 1950s tiles. Getting this stage right keeps the tiles on for thirty years. Start the bathroom plumbing conversation.
Kitchen plumbing
Sink swaps, mixer upgrades, dishwasher plumbing and the reworked waste lines a renovation always seems to need. Double-brick walls can turn a simple sink move into a proper job, which is why it is quoted in writing first. Book kitchen plumbing work.
Tap repairs
Dripping spouts, loose mixers, weeping bases: most are cartridge or washer work, and on the fixture ages common here the parts are usually on the van. Everything is quoted before anything is dismantled. Stop the drip.
Shower repairs
Showers that leak rarely announce themselves, because moisture slips behind tiles into the wall cavity while the bathroom still looks fine. Sealing, membrane repair and pressure testing catch it before a rebuild is on the table. Deal with a leaking shower.
Leak detection
A stain with no obvious source, a bill climbing month on month, a hot spot on the floor: the origin is rarely where the symptom shows. Acoustic and pressure testing finds it first, so the repair opens the right wall once. Find the leak.
Water filters
Whole-of-house, under-sink and fridge filtration supplied, installed and serviced. Plenty of households here want control over what comes out of the tap, given the age of some service pipes between the mains and the meter. Choose a water filter.
Burst pipes
Original galvanised and early copper service lines on the oldest homes let go at fittings after generations in the ground. The page covers the make-safe sequence, the meter location and the repair options, and doubles as the middle-of-the-night reference. Read up on burst pipes.
Appliance installation
Dishwashers, fridges with water and ice, washing machines and anything else needing a plumbed connection. Each one goes in with proper isolation taps and gets leak-checked before we leave. Get an appliance connected.
Backflow testing
Certification each year for properties whose water connections require it, done to council requirements and documented on the spot. Reminders can be set so the certificate never lapses. Arrange backflow testing.
Repair, maintain or replace: the honest answer first
The most useful thing a plumber can tell you is not what is wrong, but what is worth doing about it. Three honest answers cover most situations, and each has a service page behind it.
Repair when the fixture or pipe is sound and the fault is a part
Maintain when the house is old and the faults are coming anyway
Replace when the item is past economic repair
The one situation where this framework changes is active damage. Water going where it should not be goes to emergency plumbing first, and the repair-versus-replace conversation happens on a dry floor afterwards.

Where the Riverview vans run
The work is not confined to one suburb. The vans cover the adjoining streets daily, and each of these areas has a page of its own with locally grounded detail:
- Lane Cove, the retail and apartment heart of the district, a few minutes up the road.
- Longueville, waterfront homes and peninsula plumbing on the Lane Cove River.
- Linley Point, a small peninsula pocket where every block slopes to the water.
- Hunters Hill, sandstone-era cottages and mansions with some of the oldest plumbing in the district.
- Lane Cove West, post-war streets and industrial-edge plumbing on the western side.
We come to you, wherever in these streets the job is.
Good questions, straight answers
Plumbing questions Riverview homeowners ask
Do you repair the original earthenware sewers under the older homes here?
Yes, root-choked clay lines beneath the Federation and post-war stock are the most common job we quote, and we clear, inspect and reline them without excavating established front gardens.
Can jobs be booked around the college traffic peaks?
Yes, we book morning and afternoon windows that dodge the school run on the main spine, and you will be told a realistic arrival time when you ring.
Is a dripping mixer worth repairing or should it be replaced?
Most worn mixers need a cartridge and seals rather than a whole new unit, and your plumber will quote both options with the parts on the van before touching anything.
Who sorts the compliance certificates for hot water and backflow work?
We do, and they arrive with the invoice on every job that requires one, because work done under licence #275278C builds the paperwork trail your home may one day need.
What happens if a quoted repair uncovers a bigger fault?
The original quote stands until you approve any change, so a hidden problem found mid-job is quoted as its own fixed price before any extra work proceeds, keeping the decision yours.
Do you work the streets down to the bays as well as the ridge?
Yes, the vans cover the slopes to both foreshores and the adjoining suburbs daily, so a licensed plumber is usually only minutes away when you ring.
