Your Trusted Plumber in Killara
1000+ five-star reviews
Killara's Federation and Californian Bungalow homes, set on large leafy blocks across multiple heritage conservation areas, raise one question more than any other: repair or replace? Our licensed plumbers work these streets constantly from our Gordon base next door.
The honest answer depends on condition. When an original earthenware drain cracks beneath a mature garden, or a hot water unit well past its service life finally gives out, the right call rests on what is already in the ground and behind the walls. We give you the fixed-price facts before you decide.

What we cover for Killara households
Whatever the job, it starts with a call to (02) 9072 0504 and a fixed written price before any work begins. The full range lives across four service hubs:
- Emergency plumbing for burst pipes, overflowing toilets, no hot water and suspected gas leaks
- General plumbing covering everything from tap repairs and bathroom plumbing to leak detection
- Drainage for blocked drains, sewer and stormwater problems, including pipe relining
- Hot water for repairs, replacements and new gas or electric systems
Why this suburb's plumbing is different
Root-blocked drains top the call list. Mature street trees and decades-old private gardens push roots into ageing sewer and stormwater pipes, and the earthenware lines common in pre-war housing split where their joints weaken, giving roots an easy way in. Streets such as Werona Avenue and Karranga Avenue, with their heritage churches and long-established gardens, are typical territory.
The slope does the rest. Blocks fall from the ridgeline east toward the Lane Cove River valley, so stormwater and garden litter wash downhill and load up the lower drains, and heavy thunderstorm downpours overwhelm older stormwater pits on the wooded, sloping allotments.
The repair-versus-replace decision follows the geography. A cracked earthenware line under a century-old garden can usually be relined from inside rather than excavated, preserving plantings that took decades to establish. A hot water unit serving a substantial older house gets sized to real demand, not simply swapped like-for-like.
Period gas fittings need care during renovations. Many pre-war houses retain dated reticulated gas fittings, which we renew, test and certify to current standards.

Good questions, straight answers
Questions Killara locals ask
Do the older houses here often still have original clay drains?
Many do, because earthenware lines laid when these Federation homes were built fracture at their joints with age, so we always run a camera before advising repair, relining or renewal.
Should an ageing hot water system be repaired or replaced?
If the tank is more than a decade old and leaking, replacement is usually the honest call, while failed valves or elements on a sound unit are worth repairing, and we quote both options in writing.
Can drains be fixed without digging up established gardens?
In most cases yes, because pipe relining repairs cracked sections from inside and preserves lawns and plantings, and we confirm suitability with a camera inspection first.
Do you charge a call out fee to come out here?
No, the call out fee is $0, you receive a fixed written price before any work begins, and you are never obliged to proceed if the number does not work for you.
