Your local plumber in Marrickville
Marrickville is one of the most mixed suburbs in the Inner West, and its plumbing shows it. Victorian and Federation terraces sit on the streets off Marrickville Road and around the station, many still on their original clay sewer lines. In the old industrial pockets you have warehouse conversions with plumbing designed for a factory floor, not a bathroom and a kitchen. Along Illawarra Road and Marrickville Road, new apartment blocks have gone up fast, with compact plant rooms and hot water units that all seem to fail in the same year.
We work across all of it. Because we are based in Earlwood, a Marrickville job is a short drive, not a cross-city trip, which matters when water is coming through a ceiling after hours.
The plumbing problems Marrickville homes actually get
Blocked drains from tree roots
Marrickville's street trees and mature backyard figs are lovely until their roots find the joints in an old clay sewer. The first sign is usually a gurgling toilet or a slow shower. We put a CCTV camera down the line, clear it with high-pressure jet blasting, and if the pipe is cracked we can reline it without digging up your courtyard. Blocked drains →
Ageing hot water in units and terraces
A lot of Marrickville hot water systems are now well past ten years old. We repair and replace gas, electric and heat pump systems, and we will tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it or whether the tank is about to go. Hot water systems →
Leaking taps and toilets in rentals
Marrickville has one of the highest proportions of renters in the Inner West. A dripping tap or a toilet that runs all night is a water bill problem for the landlord and a nuisance for the tenant. We fix them properly the first time and send a clear invoice the agent can file. Leaking taps and toilets →
Gas fitting for kitchen renovations
Terrace kitchens are being opened up and warehouse apartments are getting proper cooktops. We handle new gas lines, appliance connections, leak checks and the compliance certificate your builder or strata manager will ask for. Gas fitting →
Burst and leaking pipes
Old galvanised pipe in terraces and failed flexi hoses in newer units are the usual culprits. We find the leak, fix it, and check the pipework around it. Burst and leaking pipes →

Real estate agents and strata in Marrickville
Marrickville is full of rentals and small strata blocks, from six-unit walk-ups to converted warehouses. We work with local property managers and strata committees who need a plumber who turns up when booked, deals with the tenant directly, fixes the problem in one visit, and sends an invoice with photos and a plain-English description of the work. We can also schedule drain maintenance for blocks with a history of blockages.

Marrickville plumber FAQs
Will I be charged just for you turning up?
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. The policy reads the same whether you are in a Petersham terrace or an Ashfield flat, and you hear the number on the phone before anyone gets in the van.
How quickly can you get to an Inner West job?
Our base is in Earlwood on the Cooks River, so the run north through Marrickville and Dulwich Hill is a short one and we are in the Inner West most days. Call 1300 111 007, tell us what is happening, and we will give you a realistic arrival window instead of a guess.
Are the plumbers who turn up actually licensed?
Yes. NSW plumbing licence 311287C, fully insured, and every job is done or supervised by a licensed plumber. That matters in Inner West terraces, where half the work happens in a cramped subfloor or a narrow side passage and the shortcuts nobody can see are the ones that leak two winters later.
My hot water has died. Can you sort it today?
Often, yes. Inner West homes run a mix of gas instantaneous units bolted to a side wall and older electric storage tanks in a laundry or courtyard, and the fix depends on which you have. Ring early, tell us the brand and rough age, and we will say honestly whether it is a repair or a replacement.
How do you actually clear a blocked drain?
We put a CCTV camera down the line first so we can see what we are dealing with, then clear it with a high-pressure jet blaster and show you the footage. Under most Inner West streets the sewer is old clay, and roots from street figs and plane trees are usually what found their way in.
Which Inner West suburbs do you cover?
Earlwood, Marrickville, Dulwich Hill, Petersham, Newtown, Enmore, Stanmore, Camperdown, Leichhardt, Annandale, Ashfield, Summer Hill and Canterbury, plus the streets around them. If your address sits just outside that list, call 1300 111 007 and ask, because we also take larger jobs right across greater Sydney.
