About Northwood

Northwood is a tucked-away little suburb between Woodford Bay and Gore Creek on the Lane Cove River. It’s quiet, leafy, and tight-knit. The streets are lined with a mix of heritage homes and modern luxury builds, and most places sit on generous blocks with water views.

The riverside location keeps the soil damp pretty much all year, which is perfect conditions for tree roots to go hunting for your sewer pipes. The mature eucalypts and angophoras surrounding the suburb, plus the native bushland near Lane Cove National Park, send root systems deep into ageing clay pipes. A lot of the homes being renovated here still have original plumbing from the early-to-mid 1900s that’s well past its use-by date.

We’ve worked in Northwood on everything from root-damaged sewer lines to complete plumbing upgrades during renos. It’s a small suburb but we know it well, and blocked drains from tree root intrusion keep us coming back regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a plumber cost in Northwood?

Most simple plumbing repairs in Northwood — such as fixing a leaking tap or running toilet — typically cost between $80 and $150. For more involved work like upgrading plumbing in a renovated home or replacing a hot water system, we provide a free on-site assessment with upfront pricing before any work begins. There are no hidden fees.

Do you offer emergency plumbing in Northwood?

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency plumbing across Northwood and the entire Lower North Shore. Whether it’s a burst pipe in a waterfront home near Woodford Bay or a blocked drain on Northwood Road, we’ll be there fast — with no after-hours surcharge.

What causes blocked drains in Northwood?

Northwood’s location on the Lane Cove River means the ground stays moist year-round, creating perfect conditions for aggressive root intrusion. The suburb’s mature eucalypts, angophoras, and native trees — along with the bushland surrounding Lane Cove National Park — send roots into ageing clay and terracotta sewer pipes. Many properties that haven’t been recently renovated still have original mid-century plumbing with deteriorating joints that roots easily penetrate. The sandstone and clay soil mix also shifts with moisture levels, stressing underground pipes.

Can you reline pipes in Northwood without digging?

Yes, pipe relining is ideal for Northwood properties. With homes on large, landscaped blocks featuring established gardens, mature trees, and in many cases waterfront access, excavation would be extremely disruptive. Our no-dig relining repairs the pipe from the inside without disturbing the surface above. It’s also perfect for the long sewer runs common on Northwood’s generous block sizes. All work comes with a 50-year warranty.

Do you charge a call-out fee in Northwood?

No. Ready Set Plumb offers a $0 call-out fee for all jobs in Northwood. We’ll come to your property, assess the issue, and provide a free quote with no obligation.
