Tap Repairs
Leaking taps, tight mixers and seized spindles are repaired or replaced, with washers, cartridges and seats matched to the older fittings typical of these 1960s and 1970s family homes.

Which Job Do You Have
Most calls fit one of six buckets. Find yours and jump to the page that covers it:
A dripping tap or a stiff mixer
A toilet that runs, leaks or won't flush properly
Showers, vanities, baths and laundries
Sinks, dishwashers and kitchen pipework
A water bill climbing with no visible cause
Gas points, appliances and gas repairs
If water is pouring or you can smell gas, skip this list and go to the emergency plumbing pages instead.
Houses Built Before the Sewers Arrived
The Camden Park estate opened in 1956 on low-priced, unsewered blocks, and town sewers didn't reach the Hills District until 1974. That eighteen-year gap left the suburb with the district's longest septic history, and the leftovers of those years are still in the ground.
What that means for plumbing work here:
- Old service lines. Pipes laid when the houses were built have had decades to corrode, weep and let roots in.
- Septic remnants. An old tank lid rusts through quietly and drops when someone stands on it, and digging for a pool or a wall can uncover a trench nobody mapped.
- Slope access. Homes rise above Cabbage Tree Creek on phyllite ground, so many fittings and tanks sit where ladders and carrying gear matter.
We plan for all three before we start, so nothing on your block surprises us mid-job.
The Six General Plumbing Jobs
Six services make up the day-to-day side of our work, each with its own page:
Toilet Repairs
Running cisterns, leaking pans, loose buttons and full toilet replacements, including the dual-flush swaps that cut water use in the family homes around Arana Hills Plaza and the quieter streets beyond.
Bathroom Plumbing
Showers, vanities, baths and floor wastes, from a dripping showerhead to a full refit of the wet area in a weatherboard or brick-veneer house on these hillside blocks.
Kitchen Plumbing
Sinks, taps, dishwashers and the pipework behind them, including blocked sink wastes and greasy trap work for the homes and the food traders operating near the plaza.
Leak Detection
Hidden leaks found methodically, from a soggy patch downhill of a pipe to a water bill that keeps climbing with nothing visible, using pressure testing and a process of elimination.
Gas Fitting
New bayonets, appliance connections, cooktop and heater installs, and gas repairs, all carried out under our gasfitting licence for houses right across the suburb and its adjoining streets.

Maintain, Repair or Replace
Knowing which of the three a job needs saves money, so here is how we think it through on a call.
Maintain
covers the small jobs that stop big ones: a washer swapped before the spindle chews out, a cistern serviced before it runs continuously, a hot water service checked before winter. Maintenance costs least because nothing has failed yet.
Repair
suits a part that has failed inside a system with life left in it. A leaking tap body, a cracked cistern inlet valve or a corroded pipe section can usually be repaired, and we quote the repair first when it makes sense.
Replace
becomes the honest answer when the whole unit or line is past it. A hot water tank rusting at the base after years on a damp slope-cut platform, or a glazed clay drain line riddled with root-filled joints, will keep costing you in repairs. The hot water pages sort repairs from replacements, and the drainage pages do the same for drains.
We tell you which of the three you're looking at before quoting, not after.
Slopes, Clay and Storm Rain
Two local conditions shape how plumbing jobs play out on these blocks.
Duplex clay over phyllite
These soils hold moisture at the clay line, so a slow underground leak tends to reveal itself as a boggy patch well downhill of the actual split, sometimes over the fence. We chase the source rather than the wet patch, because on this ground the two are rarely neighbours.
Storm season
The gauge collects an average 1048 millimetres of rain a year, and the council's flood-mapped streets, Nepean Avenue among them along with stretches of Dawson Parade, take the initial rush of stormwater when a big cell hits. Water that can't get away finds every weak point in a pipe or a gutter, which is why we check how water moves across a block before we close any repair up.

Plumbing Questions From Around the Hills
Call (07) 3067 4274Do you replace old taps in Arana Hills homes?
Yes, we swap worn taps, mixers and washers in homes across Arana Hills, including the 1960s and 1970s builds where the original fittings and pipe work often need parts matched carefully.
Who is responsible for a leaking pipe between the meter and my house?
Unitywater owns the public mains under the street, while the line between your meter and the house belongs to you, so we fix your side and send you to the utility for theirs.
Can you install a new gas point or appliance, or only fix existing ones?
Both, because our gasfitting licence covers new bayonets, appliance connections and repairs alike, from a cooktop swap to a heater service, and every gas job in Arana Hills runs under QBCC No: 15024607.
Why do plumbing jobs on these hillside blocks cost more?
Slope-cut platforms, buried septic remnants and the duplex clay soils slow access and complicate repairs, so a job on a steep street here takes longer than the same work would on flat ground.
Is a slowly dripping tap worth fixing straight away?
Yes, because a steady drip wastes water every day and usually means a worn washer or cartridge on its way out, which is a small job now and a bigger one if you leave it.
How do I book a plumber in Arana Hills?
Ring (07) 3067 4274, tell us the job and your street, and we will set a time that suits, with a fixed quote before any work starts and card or EFTPOS payment on site.
