Your Local Plumber
Wakeley is the council seat of Fairfield City: the Council Chambers are here. It's named after Daniel Wakeley, an early settler, and was mostly farmland until it was redeveloped as a residential suburb from 1980.
Wakeley's 1,543 homes are 85.7% separate houses and 13% townhouses or semis, one of the higher townhouse shares among the suburbs we cover. Townhouse complexes often share a sewer line, and Sydney Water's policy makes owners responsible for maintaining any joint service they benefit from, so a blockage in a shared line affects more than one household.
Wakeley is postcode 2176, in Fairfield City Council's Parks Ward.

Plumbing Jobs
A camera inspection shows where a shared line is blocked and whose section it's in. For owners corporations, see strata and complex plumbing.
High-pressure jetting clears the blockage and a CCTV camera checks the pipe afterwards. More on clearing blocked drains.
We repair, replace and install gas, electric, heat pump and solar systems: hot water repairs and replacements.
Turn off the water at the meter if you can, then call our 24-hour emergency plumbers.

How It Works
The steps below are typical. An emergency call skips straight to getting a plumber on the road.
Phone 0425 008 874 any hour, or send the short form with a photo of the problem.
We diagnose the problem and give you an upfront price before any work begins. We charge by the job, not by the hour.
Drains are cleared, pipes repaired or the hot water system replaced, and we check it works before we leave.
For plumbing and drainage work, NSW rules require the plumber to give you a copy of the Certificate of Compliance.
Know The Rules
The council chambers may be in Wakeley, but most plumbing paperwork doesn't go through the council. Three rules from official NSW sources.
Sydney Water says the property owner is responsible for their connection to its wastewater system, and for clearing tree roots that enter the junction at the point of connection. Sydney Water owns the junction itself. If excavation at the point of connection is more than 2.5 metres deep, Sydney Water takes over the repair.
Sydney Water: responsibility for repairs (or call Sydney Water on 13 20 90).
NSW requires the right licence or certificate to do plumbing, draining or gasfitting work. When plumbing or drainage work is finished, the plumber completes a Certificate of Compliance and gives a copy to the person who arranged the work. In Sydney, work that needs an inspection is lodged with Building Commission NSW.
Under NSW tenancy law, a burst water service, a blocked or broken toilet, a gas leak and a breakdown of the hot water service are urgent repairs. Tell your landlord or agent straight away. If you can't reach them, you can have a licensed or qualified tradesperson do the urgent repair and be paid back up to $1,000 within 14 days of giving written notice with receipts.

For everyday plumbing and drainage work in Sydney, the paperwork goes through the plumber, not the council. The plumber completes a Certificate of Compliance and gives you a copy, and work that needs an inspection is lodged with Building Commission NSW.
Sydney Water's policy says property owners maintain their private wastewater service from where it connects to Sydney Water's system, including any joint service they benefit from. If your complex is a strata scheme, ask your strata manager which pipes are common property.
