A real person answers, day or night
Why the water from an older home's taps can taste and look off
When the morning's first glass runs cloudy or metallic, the water leaving the main is usually fine, and the house's own ageing pipe adds the colour and taste before the tap.
Where discoloured water in these older homes comes from
Laid out from 1885 and taking its name from the industrialist Thomas Sutcliffe Mort, this pocket grew a stock of brick homes plumbed long before modern pipe.
Galvanised, rusting inside
Worst after a still spell
Streets like Oxford Street
The water filter work we do
The right filter depends on what is in your water and where you want it clean, so we test, recommend and fit the system that suits your home:
Under-sink filters
Drinking and cooking water is where most households want the difference, so we plumb a dedicated under-sink filter to its own tap, taking out sediment, chlorine taste and the metallic edge without slowing the main kitchen mixer right beside it.
Whole-house filtration
Where the sediment is reaching every outlet, we fit a whole-house filter at the incoming main so showers, laundry and every tap draw cleaner water, which also protects appliances and tapware from the grit that wears them out too early.
Cartridge changes and servicing
Filters only work while the cartridge is fresh, so we put you on a simple change schedule, swap the elements before they clog, and sanitise the housing to keep every filtered tap tasting the way clean water really should taste.
Filters versus repiping
When corroding galvanised is the real cause, we will tell you plainly that a filter manages the symptom while renewing the affected supply is the lasting fix, so you can choose the interim or the permanent answer with open eyes.
Filtered water for the Morts Road shops and cafes
The Morts Road and Pitt Street village strip beside the station is full of cafes, bakeries and food shops that live or die on the quality of their water.

Good questions, straight answers
Water quality problems we get asked about
Rusty or brown water
Brown or rust-tinged water, especially on the first draw of the day, almost always comes from the home's own corroding galvanised pipe rather than the mains, and a sediment filter cleans it up while you plan the pipe renewal itself.
Chlorine taste and smell
That swimming-pool taste and smell is the chlorine the mains carry to keep the water safe, and a simple carbon filter takes it out at the drinking tap without touching the water's safety or the pressure behind it at all.
Why filtered water is worth the small job
Clean water is easy to take for granted until yours turns cloudy or metallic, and the reasons to sort it go beyond how the glass looks:
- Taste and confidence Filtered water means the drink from the tap tastes clean every time, so the kettle, the coffee and the kids' water bottles lose that faint metallic edge.
- Kinder on appliances Sediment from old pipe scours valves, seals and heating elements, so filtering the supply helps dishwashers, kettles and hot water units last closer to their proper life.
- A clear picture of your pipes Persistent discolouration is really a message about the supply behind the wall, so treating it lets you plan any repipe on your terms, not after a burst pipe.
How it works
How a water filter job runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Fitted and flushed
Once the quote is approved, we install the filter neatly under the sink or at the main, run it through until the water flows clear, check every new joint for weeps, and show you how simple future cartridge swaps are.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Mortdale
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Mortdale works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Clean water is one more thing the plumbing side of the business looks after.
Where we work
Suburbs we reach beyond the home streets
The same filter fitting and servicing reaches Penshurst, Oatley, Hurstville, Peakhurst and Allawah, where the same ageing supply leaves plenty of households wanting cleaner water at the kitchen tap, and we set each system up to suit the home.
Good questions, straight answers
Water filter questions Mortdale locals ask
Do you install filters under the sink or for the whole house?
Both, from a dedicated under-sink drinking filter to a whole-house unit on the incoming main, and we size the system to what your water needs and how your household uses it.
Why does my water run rusty in an older brick home here?
Because the home's own galvanised supply is corroding inside and shedding rust into the water, most noticeably on the first draw, and typical of the older homes around Oxford Street.
Will a filter fix low water pressure?
No, a filter cleans the water but does not restore pressure lost to corroded pipe, so where flow has dropped the answer is renewing the galvanised supply rather than adding filtration.
How often do the filter cartridges need changing?
It depends on the unit and your water, but most under-sink cartridges run several months to a year, and we set you a simple reminder schedule so they are swapped before they clog.
What does a filter quote cost?
Nothing, because the call out sits at $0 and the fixed written quote for a filter is only drawn up once you have agreed to go ahead with the work.
Is the filtered water good enough for a busy cafe?
Yes, we fit food-grade filters for the small businesses along the busy Morts Road shops, so espresso machines, ice makers and drinking taps run on clean, consistent water all day.
