Plumber North Parramatta

Your Local North Parramatta Plumber

North Parramatta is one of the oldest parts of European Sydney. Its first land grant was made in 1792, and the City of Parramatta's history of the suburb lists the Female Factory (completed 1821), the old asylum that became Cumberland Hospital, Parramatta Gaol and the Lake Parramatta dam among its landmarks. Council has a North Parramatta Heritage Conservation Area. The housing is now mostly apartments: at the 2021 census 58% of homes were flats, 24% separate houses and 17% townhouses, terraces or semis, and more than half were rented.

That mix means very different plumbing on neighbouring streets. In the older parts, cottages and early twentieth century houses can still drain through clay sewer and carry galvanised water pipe, and the trees around them have had decades to find the joints. In the apartment blocks it is shared stacks, leaks that turn up in the unit below and hot water in tight cupboards. The water around the suburb matters too. The Parramatta River runs along its southern and eastern edges, Darling Mills Creek and Hunts Creek run through the area, and North Parramatta falls within the Upper Parramatta River Catchment Floodplain Risk Management Study, so stormwater on lower blocks needs somewhere reliable to go. Sydney Water looks after the sewer main; the pipe from the house to the connection is the owner's.
