Ring (02) 9134 9064. While you wait, shut the water off at the meter out the front and stay well clear of any ceiling that's holding water.
What we do
The Plumbing Services Collaroy Calls For at 2am
Seven faults we get out of bed for. Every one runs around the clock on the same pricing model, and every card below opens the full page.
Blocked Drains
Sand blows off the beach and washes into gullies and drain grates on the streets behind it, Brissenden Avenue among them. Blocked drains that silt up that way come back unless the line gets properly cleared.
Learn more
Hot Water Repairs
Cold showers on a school morning aren't something you schedule around. We stock the usual elements, thermostats and valves, so hot water repairs often finish on the first visit.
Learn more
Water Leak Detection
A hissing you can't trace keeps causing damage while you hunt for it. Our water leak detection pinpoints the source without opening half a wall on a guess.
Learn more
Blocked Toilet
An overflowing pan with no second bathroom to fall back on. A blocked toilet is urgent work here, cleared on the spot, then checked for whatever caused it.
Learn more
Burst & Leaking Pipes
Water under pressure ruins plaster, flooring and cabinetry fast. We isolate the line, then repair burst and leaking pipes properly rather than strapping a clamp on it.
Learn more
Leaking Tap Repair
A spout you can't shut down is a live problem, not a nuisance. Leaking tap repair covers seized spindles, scored seats and washers that gave up years back.
Learn more
Emergency Gas Leak Repair
Gas work is licensed work and we treat it that way. Emergency gas leak repair starts with making the property safe, then finding and fixing the fault.

What Counts as an Emergency: A Straight Answer
Plenty of plumbing can wait for daylight. This is the triage we apply on the phone before anyone gets in a van.
Uncontrolled water, a gas smell, or a ceiling sagging under a load it was never built to hold. These jump the queue.
A dead hot water unit, a sole toilet out of action, or a drain surging back into a shower base. Real urgency, and we can walk you through steadying it until we knock.
A dripping tap, a gully running slow, or a mixer gone stiff. All worth fixing before they escalate, none worth losing sleep over.
| Problem | Signs | Do this now | Response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burst pipe | Water spraying or pooling fast, hissing behind a wall | Turn off the water at the meter and open an outside tap to drain the line | Treated as drop-everything urgent, on-site fast |
| Tap won't turn off | A spinning handle that does nothing, a tap stuck on full, or a handle seized so hard it won't move | Resist the urge to muscle it; a snapped spindle makes it worse. Use the fixture's isolation valve if there is one, or shut the water off at the meter and catch the flow | Call now. Running water you can't stop counts as urgent here, and it's booked that way |
| Stormwater backing up | Downpipes surging back and paths sheeting with water | Clear what debris you safely can and stay off flooded areas | Storm-night urgent, worst-hit homes triaged first |
| Water in the ceiling | A ceiling that's bellied or bowing, water at the light fittings, or a stain that keeps growing as you look at it | Clear the room below it first. Water off at the meter, that room's lights off at the board if it's safe to reach, containers under the drips, and never poke or pierce the bulge | Call now. A ceiling holding water is a genuine hazard, and we treat it as one |
| Gas smell | A rotten-egg smell inside or near the meter | If the smell is strong or anyone feels unwell, get everyone outside and call 000 first. Otherwise: leave the property and call from outside. No switches, no flames | Safety-first response, our most urgent callout |
Local knowledge that matters
What Goes Wrong in Collaroy Homes
Most of the housing here went up after the mid-20th century: post-war brick and fibro stepping up the slopes, a strip of units along the Pittwater Road frontage, and newer rebuilds where storm damage forced the issue. That mix means two different plumbing problems sitting side by side in one suburb.
Flexible braided hoses are the quiet one. Tucked under a vanity or a kitchen sink, they look sound for years, then a braid strand corrodes through and the hose lets go at full mains pressure.
Around Anzac Avenue and the older streets set back behind Collaroy Beach, age is what sets these particular faults up:
- Braided hose blowouts, which flood a kitchen or ensuite fast, and are why we point people at the meter tap first.
- End-of-life hot water units in houses where the original unit was never replaced, only patched.
- Ageing pipework in beachfront homes, where salt shortens the life of every fitting it can reach.
- Sluggish falls on the slope streets, where drainage lines lose their grade close to the foreshore and silt collects.
If a fault on that list is what you're looking at, burst and leaking pipes and hot water repairs are the two pages worth reading.
Our simple process
The Callout, From Panic to Sorted
Four steps, same every time, whether it's a Tuesday lunchtime or a Sunday at 3am.
- 01
The call is a conversation, not a queue
Tell us what's happening and we'll tell you what to do right now, before we've even left.
- 02
You'll know we're coming
No vague windows while water's running. We confirm we're on the way and stay reachable until we knock.
- 03
We explain before we quote
What's failed, why, and what fixing it involves, in plain English. Then a fixed price you approve first.
- 04
We finish with a walkthrough
You see the repair, you watch it tested, and we don't leave until the job's verified safe. Most jobs finish in a single visit, because the parts that fail are already sitting in the van.
Fair, upfront pricing — no surprises
No Overtime Rates, No Guessing Games
One figure, agreed before we start, and the clock has nothing to do with it. Here's exactly what that figure covers and what it never sneaks in.
- The fixed price is for the finished job, not the visit.
- It includes the labour, the materials off the van, the testing that proves the repair holds, and the tidy-up before we leave.
- What it never includes: a call-out fee, an after-hours loading, or a line item you didn't approve.
- One agreed figure, one completed repair. That's the deal, at any hour.
The price we quote is the price you pay. No exceptions.

Why Plumbing Fails the Way It Does in Collaroy
The Tasman sits at the end of the street, and salt air does the rest. Exposed pipework, valves, tap bodies and hot water units on the beachfront corrode from the outside in, so fittings reach the end of their service life early here.
Storms are the second force. East-coast lows push surf and rain over the low ground near the Collaroy and Narrabeen seafront, and with the Narrabeen Lagoon catchment draining behind it, stormwater lines can surcharge and back drains up on the same night.
Houses stepping up from the beach carry a third version of the problem. Drainage on those streets depends on graded falls, and when the falls flatten out near the foreshore, storm flow slows, silt drops out, and the line chokes where it should be clearing.
Sand is the small print on all of it. Wind-blown dune material finds gullies and grates near the front and packs into lines that were already running slowly.

Good questions, straight answers
Collaroy Plumbing FAQs
Straight answers on price, timing, gas safety and strata. If yours isn't covered below, ring and ask.
How do I know if my problem is an emergency or can wait?
If water is running and you can't stop it, if a ceiling is holding water, or if you can smell gas, ring us straight away. A slow drip or a drain that's sluggish but still draining can usually take a booked slot.
When do I find out the price?
Before anything gets touched. We diagnose the fault on the spot, then hand you one price to approve, and the invoice matches it exactly.
Do you take strata and rental emergencies?
Yes. The beachfront unit blocks along Pittwater Road throw up plenty of shared-stack and common-property jobs, and we're used to sorting out who authorises what before we start work.
Will I speak to a real plumber when I ring?
You will. Ring at any hour and you'll speak to a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, so you get proper advice on what to do while we're on our way.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or public holidays?
No. There's no after-hours loading and no weekend rate. A gas leak on a Sunday night in Collaroy is priced the same way as one on a Tuesday morning.
What should I do if I smell gas?
If you smell gas, leave the property and call from outside. Do not flick switches or light flames. Ring 000 first where it's strong or somebody has gone lightheaded, then ring us to make the repair.
