Choosing a plumber in the Illawarra

Plumbing, drainage and gasfitting are licensed trades in NSW, so every job, big or small, should be done by a licensed plumber.

What local plumbers help with

  • Blocked drains and sewer lines, including CCTV drain inspections
  • Hot water repairs and replacements: electric, gas, heat pump and solar
  • Leaking taps, toilets and burst pipes
  • Gas fitting for cooktops, heaters and hot water
  • Bathroom, kitchen and laundry plumbing for renovations
  • Stormwater, downpipes and rainwater tanks

Paperwork to expect

When the job is finished, your plumber must give you a Certificate of Compliance for the plumbing and drainage work. Keep it with your property records, as it matters for insurance claims and when you sell.

In an emergency

For a burst pipe, turn off the water at the main stop tap, usually near the water meter at the front of the property. If you smell gas, leave the area and call the gas emergency number on your gas bill before calling a plumber.

Before you book

  • Plumbing licence checked online
  • Call-out fee and hourly or fixed price confirmed
  • Written quote for larger jobs
  • Certificate of Compliance when the job is done
  • Warranty on parts and labour
