What Our Customers Say

Barry Casey

Chris installed a new hot water system for me, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. What really stood out was how far he went beyond the original job. He identified and fixed several issues I wasn’t even aware of, took the time to explain everything clearly, and made sure the whole setup was safe, compliant, and running perfectly. Despite the extra work involved, Chris absolutely refused to charge anything beyond the original quote — a level of honesty and integrity you just don’t see often.

Barry Casey

Therese Nguyen

Chris was an absolute lifesaver when the hot water tank flooded the kitchen. He was very patient with me and provided a quote to my landlord for the repairs promptly. He came to fix and replace the hot water tank within 24 hours. It was a massive job, and he was professional and efficient. Highly recommend Chris.

Therese Nguyen

Had an issue with my hot water. After a quick Google search found civic plumbing. Chris was responsive and came out that day to fix the problem. Reasonable rates for a Sunday. Would use again.

Blake Doctor

Tracey Nunziato

I’ve used Civic Plumbing a couple of times. Started with needing a new hot water system, he and his offsider were prompt and gave great advice. Next needed my leaking roof fixed, replaced sheets, all good now, then new kitchen, and Chris and his team put in all my appliances, including new lines. He actually recommended the Kitchen guy, United Kitchens, who was a God-sent. Great to have a plumber you trust.

Chris came over to help with my hot water service, did a great job, and lowered my energy bill. Highly recommended.

    Had a plumbing issue come up at the worst possible time and gave Civic Plumbing a call not really expecting anyone to pick up. They actually answered after hours and talked us through the whole thing with honest advice. Really refreshing dealing with someone who's not trying to upsell you on stuff you don't need. Would definitely recommend them to anyone around Sydney. 👍

    Water was comin up through all the drains in our bathroom, and even though I called up late afternoon Chris was still able to come out within a couple of hours. Pulled out a blockage the size of a small cat and was sorted without any fuss. This is the second time Civic has come through for us, we'll be sure to call them next time they're needed!
