Welcome to the general plumbing hub for Killara. This is the everyday-work desk of the site: the taps, toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, leaks and pipes that keep a house working.
What lives here: anything involving water that isn't a drain or a hot water system. Each service has a dedicated page with full detail, and this hub gives you the lay of the land first.
What you'll find below: what each job covers, when you'd call for it, and what makes these particular houses worth knowing before a spanner turns.

When to ring for plumbing, and for what
Some signs tell you exactly which trade job you need. Others are vaguer, and that's fine, because a conversation sorts it out fast.
- A tap that drips all night, a mixer that's stiff, a showerhead spraying sideways: tap repairs and shower repairs.
- A toilet that runs, rocks, or won't flush properly: toilet repairs.
- A damp patch, an unexplained water bill, the sound of water with nothing running: leak detection.
- Water pouring where it shouldn't be: that's burst pipes, and the emergency plumbing hub has the make-safe moves to do first.
- A renovation, a new dishwasher, a water filter under the sink: installation work, quoted fixed before anything starts.
Federation bones: the plumbing stock of Killara
Killara grew as a garden suburb of large leafy blocks, and Federation and Californian Bungalow homes still dominate its streets, with heritage conservation areas and newer apartments near the railway and Pacific Highway. That housing stock shapes every plumbing job here.
Solid double-brick walls conceal the pipe runs
Weatherboard extensions carry fittings from whichever decade they were added
Heritage conservation area rules apply

Streets, schools and the quiet plumbing jobs
Not every call here is dramatic
The village rhythm shows in the plumbing
Timely work is the specialty of this directory
The thirteen services, one by one
Residential plumbing
Whole-house plumbing for the suburb's detached Federation homes and the newer units near the station. Everything from a single fitting to a complete repipe, with one team accountable for the entire house. Full detail on the residential plumbing page.
Maintenance plumbing
The planned visit that catches the corroding valve, the perishing hose and the worn washer before they fail. On a century-old house, prevention costs a fraction of the flood that follows. Full detail on the maintenance plumbing page.
Toilet repairs
A cistern running all night can send thousands of litres down the pan in a quarter, and a pan rocking on its base leaks into the floor unseen for months. We rebuild the works and reset the suite. Full detail on the toilet repairs page.
Toilet installation
A new suite fitted neatly, connected properly and sealed right the first time. Older bathrooms often need the flange and supply line brought up to standard first, and we scope that into the quote before the old unit comes out. Full detail on the toilet installation page.
Bathroom plumbing
Renovation and repair work across the wet areas: drainage, mixer placement, shower and bath connections. Double-brick walls mean pipe routes get planned before a single tile comes off. Full detail on the bathroom plumbing page.
Kitchen plumbing
Sink and mixer work, waste disposal fitting, and the rough-in behind a new kitchen. Kitchen renewals in pre-war houses often expose dated reticulated gas fittings, and upgrading them slots into the same quote. Full detail on the kitchen plumbing page.
Tap repairs
From the laundry tap that drips overnight to a stiff mixer in a heritage bathroom, we reseat, rewasher and replace. Mixers carry ceramic discs that wear on hard water, and the vans stock the common cartridges. Full detail on the tap repairs page.
Shower repairs
A leaking shower doesn't just waste water; it rots the wall cavity behind the tiles. We trace whether the fault sits in the mixer, the outlet or the waterproofing, then fix the actual cause. Full detail on the shower repairs page.
Leak detection
Damp carpet, a rising bill, the meter turning with everything switched off: thermal imaging and acoustic gear find the fault precisely, so the repair opens one panel, not the whole wall. Full detail on the leak detection page.
Water filters
Under-sink and whole-house filtration, installed and plumbed properly, with cartridge changes simple enough to keep up with. Sydney Water supply is safe; many locals simply prefer the taste and want the chlorine out. Full detail on the water filters page.
Burst pipes
Galvanised lines laid a century ago don't warn you before they let go, and double-brick walls hide the first signs until the ceiling bulges. We shut the water down, dry the area and repair the run. Full detail on the burst pipes page.
Dishwasher & appliance installation
Dishwashers, fridges with ice makers, washing machines: connected to water and drainage the right way, so the first cycle doesn't flood the floor. Full detail on the appliance installation page.
Backflow testing
Irrigation lines, tank connections and fire services on larger properties all need their backflow devices tested each year, certified and lodged with Ku-ring-gai Council. We test, repair and sort the paperwork. Full detail on the backflow testing page.
Repair, maintain or replace: the honest decision
Most plumbing decisions come down to three options, and the right one depends on the part, the house and its age.
Repair
Maintain
Replace
We'll always tell you which of the three we'd choose for our own place, and quote the fixed price before any work begins.

Where we work
The neighbours this crew works around
We work this suburb and the surrounding Ku-ring-gai area with the same crews and the same written price on every job: Gordon, Lindfield, East Killara, Roseville and Pymble. The drainage hub handles blocked drains and stormwater, and the hot water hub carries system repairs and replacements.
Good questions, straight answers
General plumbing questions from Killara homeowners
Should original galvanised pipes in an older home be replaced?
If water pressure has dropped, taps run rusty or a wall stays damp, the old line is failing, and a licensed plumber can assess which sections need replacing and quote upfront before work starts.
Can you install a dishwasher in a double-brick kitchen?
Yes, and because solid walls make the water and drain extensions trickier to route, we scope the whole run first so the written quote covers the complete job with nothing added.
Do you upgrade old gas fittings during renovations?
Yes, and because much of the pre-war housing stock still runs dated gas lines, renovation quotes here often include bringing those fittings to current standard before new appliances connect.
What does a maintenance plumbing visit include?
Taps and toilets, flexi hoses under vanities, isolation valves, the hot water unit's connections and every accessible pipe run get eyes on them, and you finish with a list of what's ageing.
Is backflow testing needed for residential properties?
Most detached homes only need it if they run irrigation, a rainwater tank or a fire service, and where it applies we handle the yearly test, any repairs and the council certification end to end.
How do you find a leak hidden in a double-brick wall?
Moisture meters, thermal cameras and acoustic listening gear pinpoint the run without opening anything, so the repair lands on the exact joint instead of a best guess.
Do you work on the neighbouring Ku-ring-gai suburbs as well?
Yes, the same licensed crews cover Gordon, Lindfield, East Killara, Roseville and Pymble, with the $0 call out and upfront pricing applying across all of them.
