Plumber Crows Nest: Hot Water, Drains and Emergency Repairs by Licensed Locals
1000+ five-star reviews
From the terraces off Alexander Street to the apartment towers that rose around the new Metro station, Crows Nest packs three eras of plumbing into one dense village. Each era fails in its own way.
We're the Cammeray plumbing team working this side of the ridge daily, close enough that the van reaching Falcon Street has usually just finished a job nearby.

Repair or replace: the Crows Nest question
The pre-1940 terraces and semis from the railway-era boom, and the 1960s to 1980s walk-up flats beside them, commonly run dated hot water units and original earthenware sewer pipes. That makes repair-versus-replace the honest first conversation on most jobs here.
Hot water units
Clay drain lines
We assess the actual condition, give you the fixed price on both paths where they exist, and never push the bigger job when the smaller one is sound.
What we cover across Crows Nest
- Emergency plumbing: burst flexi hoses under apartment basins, sewer surcharges in the terrace rows, and no-hot-water failures in the middle of a cold snap.
- General plumbing: from toilet repairs and tap repairs to leak detection and burst pipe response for the older stock.
- Drainage: blocked drains from street trees on West Street and around St Thomas Rest Park, plus CCTV drain inspections and pipe relining that spares heritage gardens.
- Hot water: hot water replacement for failing units, repairs where a fix is genuine, and new instant systems for compact flat laundries.
The village fabric and what it does to pipes
Crows Nest sits on undulating sandstone-and-shale ridge country, so drains follow steep falls that trap debris at changes of grade. The Willoughby Road restaurant and cafe strip adds grease and fat buildup in commercial drain lines.
Seasons and towers. Autumn and winter leaf fall from the mature street trees loads gutters and stormwater right when the cold snaps arrive that finish off ageing hot water units. The new apartment buildings around the Metro bring a different fault set again: braided flexi hoses under sinks and basins that burst and flood without warning.
We carry parts for all three fault families on the van, which is why most jobs here finish on the first visit.

Good questions, straight answers
Questions Crows Nest locals ask
Can an old hot water unit in a walk-up flat be replaced the same day?
Most ageing units around the Willoughby Road area can be swapped like-for-like in a single visit, with the fixed written price supplied before the old cylinder comes off the wall.
Do you clear blocked drains in apartment buildings?
Yes, shared sewer and stormwater lines in the local flat blocks are cleared with jetting and camera checks, including root-blocked earthenware runs under the older terraces.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes, every plumber works under licence #275278C with full insurance, and compliance certificates are issued with the finished job.
What should I do while waiting for a plumber during a burst pipe?
Turn the water off at the meter, keep power away from wet areas, and move what you can out of the water's path while the plumber is on the way.
