A plumber for Como, in the Shire every day
Como sits on the Georges River at the northern edge of the Sutherland Shire, across the water from Oatley over Como Bridge. We are based in Earlwood, north of the river, and in the Sutherland Shire every day. Como is part of our Sutherland Shire service area.
Call 1300 111 007. Open 7am to 6pm, seven days.
What Como homes are made of, and what goes wrong
Como is a suburb of slopes. Many blocks fall steeply from road to house, or from house to river. The older homes are post-war brick and fibro built down the hill in levels, often with the garage cut into sandstone. Along the waterfront, many have been rebuilt with pools, decks and long runs of garden pipe.
Stormwater on sloping blocks
When it rains hard, water from the street and the block above ends up against your house. Downpipes discharging onto the ground, blocked grates and undersized pits show up as a wet garage or a damp sub-floor. We trace where the water comes from, clear and camera the stormwater lines, and fix or add drainage. Jet blasting →
Sewers fighting gravity and sandstone
On a steep block the sewer runs a long way, and digging through sandstone is slow and expensive. We find the fault with a CCTV camera, clear roots with a high-pressure jet blaster, and reline rather than trench where we can. Where a home below the street relies on a pump to lift waste to the main, a failed pump is an urgent call. Blocked drains →
High mains pressure
Homes low on a slope often see higher mains pressure, which shortens the life of flexi hoses, tap washers and hot water valves. A pressure limiting valve is a small job that prevents bigger ones. Burst and leaking pipes →
Hot water in awkward places
Como hot water units end up under the house or down a flight of steps. We repair where it makes sense and replace where it does not, with gas, electric and heat pump options. Hot water systems →
Water finds the low point. On Como's sloping blocks a blocked or undersized stormwater line backs up at the bottom of the property in heavy rain; we clear it and can reroute a line that was never sized for the block. Jet blasting →
Emergency plumber Como, after hours too
A downpour flooding a lower level, a burst pipe under the house, a sewer pump alarm, no hot water, a gas smell. Call 1300 111 007, seven days. We tell you how to isolate the water or gas if it is safe, we tell you the real ETA when you call, and we quote the call-out fee before anyone is dispatched. Then a licensed plumber arrives with the parts to make the property safe and, in most cases, finish the job on the spot.
If you can smell gas, or water is pouring
- If you can smell gas, turn off the supply at the meter if it is safe to do so, open windows, and call us from outside.
- If water is pouring, shut off the main at the water meter and then call.

Waterfront homes and pools on the Georges River
Como's waterfront homes have more plumbing than most: pool and spa lines, irrigation, outdoor showers, taps to the jetty, and drainage across several levels of garden. The river is tidal, so fittings near the water wear faster than up the hill. We locate buried leaks without tearing up paving.
Renovating an older Como home
Many Como homes are renovated rather than replaced, because the view is the point. Adding a bathroom on a lower level or running new drainage through a split-level house takes planning. We handle renovation plumbing from rough-in to fit-off, replace galvanised pipe before the tiles go on, and quote one fixed price.

Very prompt response to my initial web contact. The plumber arrived in the arranged time and the service was extremely professional and friendly. Cleaned up after the work finished.

Como plumber FAQs
Do you charge just to come out to the Shire?
No call-out fee in business hours. After-hours, weekend and emergency call-outs carry a call-out fee, always quoted upfront before we dispatch a plumber. That policy does not shift with distance, so an Engadine or Menai address is handled on exactly the same terms as one closer to the bridge.
How long before a plumber gets here?
We are based in Earlwood and head down the Princes Highway into the Shire most days, so it is part of the normal run rather than a special trip. Call 1300 111 007 and we will tell you the real ETA on the phone, including when the honest answer is first thing tomorrow.
Are you licensed and insured for this kind of work?
Yes. NSW plumbing licence 311287C, fully insured, and every job is done or supervised by a licensed plumber. That covers a unit bathroom just as much as a waterfront property on the Georges River or Port Hacking, where drainage, pumps and tanks are far less forgiving than a standard suburban block.
Can you replace a hot water system today?
Often, yes, once we know the type, the size and where it sits. Near the beaches at Cronulla the salt air works through tanks, fittings and exposed pipework faster, so we look at position and protection as well as the unit itself. Call early in the day and we will tell you what is achievable.
How do you find and clear a blocked drain?
We camera the line first, clear it with a high-pressure jet blaster, then show you the footage. Shire blocks are big, so the run from the house out to the street is long, and roots off mature gums and paperbarks find the old joints. Seeing the pipe tells you whether the problem will come back.
Which Sutherland Shire suburbs do you service?
Cronulla, Caringbah, Miranda, Sutherland, Gymea, Kirrawee, Sylvania, Como, Engadine and Menai, plus the surrounding streets. If you are not certain your address is covered, call 1300 111 007 and we will tell you straight away. Larger jobs we take on right across greater Sydney as well.
