A good diagnosis comes before a good repair

Plumbing symptoms can have several causes. A slow drain might be a local obstruction, tree-root intrusion or damaged pipework. A lack of hot water could be a valve, element, burner or electrical issue.

Use our guides to record the symptoms, reduce immediate damage and ask focused questions before authorising work.

  • Identify what changed and when it started
  • Photograph visible leaks or damage
  • Ask for the scope and exclusions in writing
  • Check the appropriate NSW trade licence
Is water causing immediate damage?Turn off the nearest safe isolation valve or the property supply.
Can you smell gas?Move away, avoid ignition sources and contact the appropriate emergency service.
Compare carefully

Four checks before choosing a plumber

  1. 01

    Confirm the licence

    Check that the person or business holds the NSW licence appropriate for the work, especially gas fitting.

  2. 02

    Define the scope

    Ask what is included, what could change the price and whether access or restoration is separate.

  3. 03

    Get it in writing

    Request a written quote or estimate and keep invoices, reports, warranties and photographs.

  4. 04

    Plan for access

    Clear the work area and discuss shut-offs, residents, parking and any building-management requirements.
