About Double Bay

Double Bay is 4km east of the CBD. Affluent, harbourside, and often called “Double Pay” for good reason. The shopping strip along Knox Street, Cross Street, and Bay Street is full of designer boutiques and upmarket restaurants. Sydney’s “little Europe.”

Over 76% of places are apartments. A lot of those buildings went up in the 1960s and 1970s. The common-property plumbing is ageing fast. Corroded galvanised steel risers, deteriorating copper mains, crumbling cast iron stacks. One leak can affect multiple units at once. Older strata buildings along William Street, Manning Road, and Ocean Avenue often need coordinated plumbing work across multiple lots.

The harbour means high groundwater tables. That puts extra pressure on sub-slab drainage and basement waterproofing. And those big Moreton Bay figs and established garden trees throughout Double Bay’s freestanding properties? They get into sewer lines constantly. CCTV inspection and pipe relining are usually the way to fix it without wrecking the landscaping.

How much does a plumber cost in Double Bay?

Standard plumbing jobs in Double Bay typically range from $150 to $500 depending on the complexity of the work. Ready Set Plumb provides fixed-price quotes before starting any job, so you always know the cost upfront. Our $0 call-out fee means there is no charge just for an assessment.

Why should you fix leaking taps right away?

A leaking tap wastes thousands of litres of water per year, increasing your water bill significantly. Left unchecked, it can also cause water damage to cabinetry, benchtops, and flooring, encourage mould growth, and put unnecessary strain on your plumbing system. Prompt repairs save you money and prevent bigger problems.

How long does a water heater installation take?

A new water heater installation typically takes about an hour. If you are replacing an existing unit, expect 2 to 3 hours total, as the old system needs to be disconnected and drained first. Our licensed team ensures all connections comply with current safety standards.

Does insurance cover the cost of a blocked drain?

Most standard home insurance policies do not cover routine drain clearing or maintenance. However, if a blocked drain causes sudden and accidental damage to your property, such as water damage to walls or ceilings, you may be able to claim for the resultant damage. Check your Product Disclosure Statement for details.

What causes a toilet to block up?

Common causes include flushing items that do not break down easily such as baby wipes and cotton buds, insufficient water pressure from low-flush toilets, mineral buildup from hard water narrowing the pipes, and accumulation of hair or excess toilet paper. If blockages recur, a professional inspection is recommended.
