Plumbing Services in Mortdale
1000+ five-star reviews
Older brick homes ask a lot of their plumbing, and the housing around here was mostly built for a different era. Your Plumber Mortdale looks after the everyday supply, fixture and pipework jobs that keep a pre-war cottage or a semi running, from a single worn tap to a full repipe.
One local team for the whole house. Supply, fixtures, taps, toilets, showers and the pipework tying them together all sit with the same licensed plumbers, so you are not juggling separate trades for a job that should take one visit.

When to call a plumber in Mortdale
Some plumbing waits for a weekend, and some of it does not. Here is when it is worth picking up the phone:
- Water pressure has dropped away, or hot taps run rusty and slow
- A tap, toilet or shower drips, runs or refuses to shut off
- You are planning a bathroom or kitchen update and need the rough-in sorted
- A pipe under the house or in a wall is weeping, staining or ticking your meter over
- An old storage cylinder is leaking, or a new dishwasher needs connecting properly
- A renovation or a new appliance needs the supply and waste moved or added properly
If any of that sounds familiar, a licensed plumber can tell you over the phone what to stop using and what to check next. Call (02) 9072 0592 and describe what is happening.
The plumbing behind Mortdale's pre-war brick and soldier-era cottages
Much of the suburb went up after 1885 and again as returning soldiers settled here through the 1920s, so the housing runs to solid double-brick and semi-detached cottages with plumbing to match. That original fabric shapes almost every job we do.
Galvanised supply that has had its day
Fixtures added over decades
Ground that keeps moving
The plumbing faults we see most in the older homes
Different suburbs wear out their plumbing in different ways, and the ageing brick stock here fails along a familiar handful of fault lines. The jobs below land on our board week after week:
Low pressure and rusty water. Galvanised supply corrodes from the inside over the decades, so flow slows at the tap and the first draw of the morning can run brown or gritty.
Drips that never quite stop. Worn washers, tired cartridges and running cisterns waste water quietly, and in an older home they are often the first sign a fixture is worn past saving.
Leaks you cannot see. Weeping joints behind double brick or beneath a slab stain walls and lift the bill long before a puddle appears, which is why careful tracing beats opening walls on a hunch.
Flexi hoses past their prime. Renovated kitchens and bathrooms across the suburb run braided flexi hoses that perish and let go without warning, flooding a room in the time it takes to notice.
Fittings that no longer match. Years of part-renovations leave a jumble of old and newer fittings that do not always play together, so a simple-looking swap sometimes needs an adaptor or a short repipe to finish properly.

Explore our plumbing services
Every general-plumbing job we handle has its own dedicated page, so pick the one that matches what is going on and read the detail there:
Residential Plumbing
Homeowners across the older brick and semi-detached streets call us for the full range of house plumbing, from a quick supply repair to planned upgrades, all handled by one licensed team that knows this ageing local housing stock especially well.
Maintenance Plumbing
Scheduled checks catch the small faults that these older brick houses hide, so we inspect tapware, cisterns, valves and visible pipe before a slow drip or a tired washer turns into a burst line, a stain or a wasted-water bill.
Toilet Repairs
Running cisterns, phantom flushes, rocking pans and weeping inlet valves waste clean litres of water every day, and we track the fault to its cause, swap the worn internals or seal the base, and leave the toilet flushing cleanly again.
Toilet Installation
Swapping a dated suite for a modern water-saving pan takes more than a bolt-down in these homes, so we adjust the set-out, connect the waste and supply correctly, and make sure the seal and floor finish are right first time.
Bathroom Plumbing
Bathroom renovations in a solid-brick cottage mean reworking supply and waste that were never sized for a large second vanity or a rain head, and we handle the rough-in, the fit-off and the tie-in to the existing house plumbing throughout.
Kitchen Plumbing
Kitchen updates ask a lot of old under-sink pipework, so we relocate or renew the supply, waste and mixer connections, connect the sink, tap and any filtered outlet, and leave everything running clean, tidy and completely free of hidden weeps.
Tap Repairs & Mixer Taps
Worn washers, seized spindles and dripping mixers waste water and stain basins, and we rewasher or reseat the traditional taps, swap failed cartridges in modern mixers, and replace the tapware outright where corrosion has gone well past a simple repair.
Shower & Leaking Shower Repairs
Leaking showers rot the framing and stain the room below long before you notice, so we find whether the fault is the waste, the tiling or the mixer, then fix the source rather than papering over the damp for now.
Leak Detection
Hidden leaks behind brick and under slabs push up your bill and quietly damage the structure, and we use non-destructive tracing to pinpoint the spot before opening anything, so the repair stays small, targeted and far simpler to put right.
Water Filters
Under-sink and whole-of-house filtration takes the edge off older galvanised-tinted supply, and we fit, plumb and service the units, size the system to your household, and set it up so future cartridge changes stay simple for you down the track.
Burst Pipes
Corroded galvanised lines and stressed old joints let go without warning, and we isolate the water fast, expose the failed section, and repair or repipe in modern materials so the same tired run is not flooding a room next winter.
Dishwasher & Appliance Installation
Installing a dishwasher, washing machine or fridge line safely means proper isolation, compliant connections and no reliance on a substandard flexi that will burst later, so we plumb the appliance in correctly and pressure-check every single joint before we go.
Backflow Testing
Backflow prevention keeps the drinking supply safe where irrigation, a second dwelling or commercial use raises the risk, and our licensed backflow testers install, test and certify the devices, then lodge the annual paperwork your council and Sydney Water require.
Shop-and-dwelling rows and the Morts Road village strip
The suburb has a built form you rarely see intact elsewhere: the 1950s retail-and-residence rows on Balmoral Road, where a shopfront sits below the living space it was built with. That mix keeps our fixture and supply work varied.
Shopfront-with-residence plumbing
Village-strip and infill demand
Plumbing is only one of our four trades. When the trouble is a drain, a sewer or stormwater, our drainage team takes it, and cylinder or heater faults sit with hot water; anything happening right now belongs with emergency plumbing.
The Mortdale homes we plumb, from cottages to station units
The suburb is not one kind of house, and the plumbing changes with the era and the build. Knowing which you are dealing with is half the job:
Pre-war brick cottages. The solid double-brick homes from the suburb's early growth hide their pipework inside thick walls, so access and neat making-good matter as much as the repair itself.
Post-war semis and family homes. The deep stock of brick semis and larger family houses carries decades of part-renovations, mismatched fittings and the odd surprise waiting behind a cupboard door.
Shop-and-dwelling rows. The Balmoral Road shopfronts with living space above run commercial and domestic fixtures off shared, ageing services, which we untangle carefully before any upgrade goes ahead.
New units near the station. Recent apartment infill around the Morts Road shops brings modern fit-outs, shared risers and body-corporate coordination into the same working day.

How we find the fault before we quote
Guesswork gets expensive in an old house, so we work out what is genuinely wrong before pricing anything. That means a proper look at the fault, the right tools brought to the job, and a plain account of the options in front of you:
We trace, not tear
We check the whole run
We quote it once
Repair, maintain or replace: making the right call
Not every fault needs the same answer, and part of an honest quote is telling you plainly which of the three is the right call here, rather than quietly defaulting to the biggest and most expensive job:
Maintain
Repair
Replace
Renovating an older home? Bring the plumbing in early
The best time to sort tired pipework is while the walls are open, not after the tiler has finished. If you are updating a cottage, a semi or a shopfront home, plan the plumbing in from the very start:
Repipe while you can reach it
Size the services for the new layout
Time the rough-in and fit-off right
Looking after rented and managed homes
Plenty of the older houses and units nearby are tenanted, and a landlord or manager needs a plumber who shows up on time, sorts the fault and keeps the paperwork straight. We make that side of it simple:
One call, one fixed price
Compliant work, documented
Quick turnaround on the common faults

Good questions, straight answers
Plumbing questions Mortdale locals ask
Do you replace old galvanised water pipes?
Yes, corroded galvanised supply is common in the pre-war brick cottages here, and we repipe in modern materials to restore pressure, clear rusty water and stop pinhole leaks.
Can you handle plumbing in a shop-and-dwelling on Balmoral Road?
We work the older shopfront-with-residence rows regularly, handling the split of shop, kitchen and upstairs living fixtures on one meter and one ageing set of supply lines.
Will you give me a price before starting the work?
Always, because your plumber inspects the job, runs any diagnosis it needs and writes up a single agreed figure before a tool comes off the van.
Do you do both small repairs and full fixture upgrades?
Yes, from a dripping tap or running toilet through to a whole bathroom or kitchen fit-out, one licensed team covers the routine jobs and the bigger renovation work.
Is there really no call out fee?
Correct, the call out is $0, so the assessment and the written quote cost you nothing and you only pay once you approve the fixed price for the work.
How quickly can you reach the older streets near the station?
We keep stocked vans working the Georges River suburbs daily, so a plumber is usually close to the Morts Road strip and the surrounding pre-war blocks.
What areas around Mortdale do you cover?
We look after Penshurst, Oatley, Hurstville, Peakhurst and Allawah as well, so the same fixed-price plumbing reaches homes right across this pocket of the Georges River area.
