Tempe is a quieter pocket of the Inner West: post-war brick homes on the streets near Tempe Wetlands and the Princes Highway, with newer townhouses and apartment blocks closer to the station. Help Plumbing is a plumber Tempe homeowners, renters and strata managers book from our base in Earlwood, typically 10 to 15 minutes away. Same-day service is often possible, and you get the price before any work starts. Call (02) 9538 7878.
Plumber Tempe work on hot water upgrades
Many post-war homes here still run the same type of hot water system they've had for decades, usually an electric or gas storage tank. When it's time to replace it, it's worth looking at what suits the house now: a continuous flow gas unit, a heat pump, or a like-for-like tank. A plumber Tempe households book from us tests the old system first, prices the options side by side, and takes the old unit away.
Stormwater near the wetlands
Some Tempe streets sit low near the wetlands and the river, and in heavy rain the stormwater has a long way to travel with little fall. Pits fill with silt and leaves, downpipes back up, and water pools along the side of the house. A plumber Tempe homes call from us clears the pits, jets the stormwater line and runs a camera through it, so you know it's flowing before the next storm. If a downpipe isn't connected to the stormwater line, we can connect it while we're there.
Taps, toilets and everyday repairs
Most calls in Tempe are everyday jobs: a dripping tap, a toilet that won't stop running, a slow basin or a washing machine tap that won't turn off. A plumber Tempe homes book from us can usually fix these on the first visit, because we carry common tap cartridges, washers and cistern parts in the van.
Washing machines and dishwashers
Connecting a new washing machine or dishwasher, replacing a leaking supply hose or fixing a laundry tub that drains slowly are quick jobs. A plumber Tempe renters and owners book connects the water and waste properly and checks for leaks before leaving.
Townhouses and apartments near the station
The newer townhouses and apartment blocks need regular strata maintenance: shared drains, common-area taps and the odd leak between units. Inside each home, it's usually laundry and bathroom repairs. When water appears in a ceiling or wall, we find the source with pressure testing and thermal imaging before anything is opened. As a plumber Tempe strata managers can call, we report back with photos and split invoices by lot and common property.
Blocked drains in Tempe
Older homes have clay sewer lines that roots get into, and newer complexes block with wipes and grease. A plumber Tempe homes call for a blocked drain gets the camera first, then the jetter, and sees the footage. See blocked drains in Tempe for more.
Urgent calls
For a burst pipe, a gas smell or sewage coming up through a floor waste, call our 24/7 line. We're 10 to 15 minutes away, so a plumber Tempe residents ring after hours is usually close by.
