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. 👍

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my hot water system begins leaking?
Isolate the water supply immediately by turning the cold water inlet valve at the base of the tank clockwise. Turn off the corresponding power switch at your main electrical switchboard, or close the gas control valve if it is a gas system. Once the system is stable, contact our hot water system installation experts to assess if the tank requires a component repair or a full replacement.
Can tree roots grow back after a drain is cleared?
Yes. Mechanical clearing or simple plunging leaves root ends intact inside the line. Over time, the nutrient-rich water flowing through the sewer pipe causes those roots to grow back stronger. Our targeted blocked drain repair service uses hydro jetters to cut roots completely flush with the pipe wall, and we treat the line to slow down future root growth.
How do I verify if a local technician is properly certified?
Every professional should willingly display their credentials. You can quickly check a trade qualification online via the Service NSW public register. Our team members operate in Chatswood as fully licensed plumbers, ensuring your repairs meet all current Australian building standards.
Why is my tap water making a loud banging noise when turned off?
This common issue is known as “water hammer.” It occurs when high-pressure water suddenly stops or changes direction, causing a hydraulic shock wave to reverberate through your copper pipes. Left unaddressed, water hammer can weaken pipe joints, damage mixer taps, and split washing machine hoses. We fix this by installing premium water hammer arrestors and pressure-limiting valves to keep your home’s water pressure within the maximum Australian standard of 500 kPa.
What is the purpose of an Overflow Relief Gully (ORG)?
An ORG is a grated drain fixture located outside your home. It is designed to act as a safety release valve. If your main sewer line suffers a major blockage, any overflowing sewage will escape from the outdoor ORG rather than backing up inside your home through your shower bases or toilets. It is important to keep your ORG clear of garden mulch, pot plants, and concrete toppings.
How often should a commercial backflow device be tested?
In accordance with Sydney Water regulations, all testable backflow prevention containment devices must be inspected and certified every 12 months by an authorised plumber. This mandatory testing ensures that contaminated water cannot siphon backward into the public drinking water supply. We handle the technical testing and submit all required compliance documentation directly to Sydney Water on your behalf.
