Riverstone Emergency Plumber & Blocked Drains

24/7 emergency plumbing, blocked drains & gas repairs — your local, based right here in Riverstone.

Riverstone is our home turf. From the established homes around the old town and station to the new estates spreading through Riverstone West and toward Tallawong, we are the local plumber that is genuinely just around the corner — and the one to call when it's urgent.

Riverstone Plumbing & Gas Fitting — in the trade since 2009

Peter has worked Riverstone since 2009, so we know its plumbing — the ageing galvanised pipework and tree-root drainage in the older streets near Riverstone Markets and the station, and the brand-new gas, hot-water and fit-out work going into the fast-growing estates toward Marsden Park and Tallawong.

Being based right here means our response times to Riverstone are as fast as it gets. We run a genuine 24/7 emergency line for burst pipes, gas leaks, blocked sewers and no hot water, and we are fully licensed plumbers and gas fitters (Lic. 386 329C) rated 5.0 from over 140 Google reviews, looking after Riverstone homes, new strata blocks and local businesses to Australian Standards.

Recent jobs in Riverstone

A recent Riverstone job was a home with no hot water. The old electric unit had reached the end of its life, so we replaced it with a new twin-element electric heater, complete with new tempering and pressure-limiting valves and full pipework, tested and left leak-free the same day.

In another case, a customer reported a gas smell near the cooktop. We traced it to the screwed connection at the appliance, resealed it and reinstated the gas supply, then tested it before we left.

Backflow testing is also a regular job here — one recent property needed containment testing on two devices, both done to Australian Standards with the report lodged directly with Sydney Water.

And when a Riverstone rainwater tank stopped switching over properly, we found the changeover valve and pump had failed, so we fitted a new bypass between the mains and the outlet to restore reliable water.

Blocked drains are one of the most urgent calls we get in Riverstone, especially in the older streets where tree roots have had decades to work into ageing sewer lines. We run a CCTV drain camera to find the exact cause and location before we touch anything, then clear it with high-pressure jet rodding or root cutting as needed — no guesswork, no unnecessary digging. See our full sewer & drainage service for how we handle recurring or planned maintenance too.

What our customers say

“Simple gas cooktop replacement, but they were extremely professional and efficient. Communicated well all the way and followed up after to ensure I was satisfied with the work. 5/5 would definitely use again on the next job.”

Brett Jackson, Google review

Emergency plumber in Riverstone: what happens when you call

A burst pipe, a gas smell, sewage coming up the shower drain, no hot water on a winter morning: these are the calls our 24/7 line exists for. Because we are based right on Riverstone's doorstep in Grantham Farm, "on our way" means minutes, not the far side of Sydney. And before we are even in the ute, we will often help you make the situation safe over the phone: where the water meter is, how to isolate the hot water system, turning off the gas at the bottle or meter. If a problem can safely wait until the morning, we will tell you that too, rather than charging you an after-hours call-out you did not need. That is the honest version of emergency plumbing, and it is why the people of Riverstone keep our number on the fridge.

Blocked drains in Riverstone: old clay lines and brand-new estates

Riverstone gets both kinds of drain trouble. The established streets around the old town and the station sit on older clay sewer lines, and clay joints plus mature trees means roots find their way in sooner or later. The new estates through Riverstone West and toward Tallawong have the opposite problem: building debris left in lines, shallow falls and landscaping that was finished last spring. Either way the method is the same and it works: a CCTV drain camera to find the exact cause, high-pressure jet rodding to clear it, and the footage shown to you afterwards so you know whether it was a one-off or the pipe itself needs attention. No guesswork and no digging up the yard to have a look. The full detail is on our blocked drains page.

From the old town to Riverstone West and Tallawong

Riverstone is changing fast, and we work across all of it: the weatherboard and brick homes of the original town with their older galvanised pipework and ageing hot water tanks, the new releases through Riverstone West, and the growing streets that run toward Tallawong station and Vineyard. Each vintage of house fails in its own way. Older homes need careful repair work, pipe replacements and hot water changeovers; newer ones need gas appliance connections, warranty-aged tapware replaced and rainwater pump changeovers. The job stories and photos above are all real Riverstone jobs, documented from our own invoices, because showing the actual work beats claiming things any day.

One accountable local, not a call centre

When you call 0422 718 247 you talk to the licensed plumber who turns up (Lic. 386 329C), not a dispatch desk selling your job to whoever is nearest. You get the problem explained in words that make sense, a fixed price agreed before work starts, and the same person accountable from the first call to the clean-up. Our 5.0-star Google reviews describe it better than we can. Rentals in Riverstone are covered too: we work with local property managers with written reports and photos for every job.

Peter is great at what he does. He is very dependable and always comes as soon as he can. I’ll be continuing to use Fenech Plumbing & Gas Pty Ltd for any plumbing and gas work in our property.

F I.

We had Peter from Fenech Plumbing and Gas do our whole home filtration system and fix our fridge plumbing, and honestly he is the best plumber we have ever met and used. He’s not only highly skilled but also genuinely friendly and easy to deal with. We’ve never met a plumber like him before and from now on we’ll only be using him. Couldn’t recommend Peter and Fenech Plumbing and Gas more!

M B.

Highly recommended for all plumbing & gas leaking issues. Peter is a highly knowledgeable & experienced person and knows what he is doing & even advises us on how to deal with the issues. The one stop for all the plumbing issues and I would refer him to all my friends. 10 /10
