Our Residential Plumbing Services

Our team handles the full range of home plumbing work, including:

Blocked Drains

A blocked drain rarely fixes itself and the longer it is left, the more damage it can cause. Our team handles everything from a slow kitchen sink to a full sewer line blockage, serving homes across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Charlestown, Maitland, and the Hunter Region. 

Emergency Plumbing

Plumbing disasters don’t wait for business hours—neither do we. Whether it’s a burst pipe at 3:00 AM, a sewer backup, or a commercial water main failure, our 24/7 emergency team is ready to deploy.

Why Choose Us?

Local Expertise

With years of experience serving Newcastle, we know the local area and understand common plumbing issues in homes here, allowing us to address problems effectively and quickly.

Qualified Professionals

All our plumbers are licensed, insured, and trained to meet high standards of workmanship and safety.

Transparent Pricing

We believe in honesty, which is why we offer upfront quotes. You’ll always know the cost of the service before we start, with no hidden charges.

Fast, Responsive Service

Plumbing issues often arise unexpectedly, and we understand the importance of a prompt response. Whether it’s a minor inconvenience or a plumbing emergency, we’re here when you need us.

Emergency Plumbing for Newcastle & Lake Macquarie Homes

Plumbing emergencies don’t follow business hours. Burst pipes, blocked sewers, overflowing toilets, and hot water failures all need fast attention to limit damage and disruption.

Our emergency team is available around the clock,  nights, weekends, and public holidays across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, and surrounding areas.

Call 02 4911 9402 and you’ll always reach a real person, not a message bank.

Burst Pipes

Whether caused by age, pressure, or extreme weather, a burst pipe can cause serious water damage within minutes. We respond fast, isolate the problem, and carry out a lasting repair.

Blocked Drains

Severe blockages cause water to back up in sinks, showers, and toilets. We use CCTV inspection and high-pressure jet blasting to locate the cause and clear it properly.

Overflowing Toilets

Overflow is often a sign of a deeper blockage in the sewer line. We assess the full system and resolve the issue, not just the symptom.

General Plumbing Repairs

mall plumbing issues have a way of becoming expensive ones if left alone. Our team handles the day-to-day repairs that keep your home’s plumbing in good working order — dripping taps, inconsistent water pressure, pipe leaks, faulty shower heads, and more. Every repair is carried out using quality parts, with the goal of fixing the root cause rather than providing a temporary patch.

Common repairs include leaky taps, running toilets, pipe leaks, and faulty shower heads.

Plumbing Installations for Newcastle Homes

Proper installation from the start saves money and headaches down the track. Our team manages installations for new builds, renovations, and appliance upgrades, with expert guidance on the best products for your budget and household needs.

Bathroom Fixtures

Sinks, toilets, showers, and bathtubs installed with care and precision, whether it’s a single fixture swap or a full bathroom renovation.

Routine Maintenance Across the Hunter Region

Preventative maintenance is the most cost-effective way to keep your home’s plumbing running well. Our maintenance services cover regular inspections, drain cleaning, water pressure checks, leak detection, and appliance inspections – helping you catch small problems before they become large ones.

Drain Cleaning

Prevent clogs and slow drains with regular cleaning.

Water Pressure Checks

Identify issues causing low or high water pressure, which can impact appliance performance and water usage.

Leak Detection

Early detection of leaks prevents water damage and saves on utility costs.

Appliance Inspections

Ensuring appliances like water heaters and dishwashers are functioning efficiently and free from potential issues.

How We Work

Our process is simple, efficient, and transparent, ensuring you know exactly what to expect at each step.

Initial Consultation and Diagnosis

The process begins with a consultation, where we discuss your needs and assess the plumbing issue. For repairs, we conduct a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause, allowing us to provide a clear and accurate solution.

Transparent Quote

After diagnosing the issue, we provide an upfront, itemised quote. We break down the costs involved so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. This transparency allows you to make an informed decision without any unexpected costs down the line.

Professional Work

Our licensed plumbers complete the job to the highest standards, using quality parts and materials that ensure durability and effectiveness. We work efficiently, minimising disruption to your home while maintaining safety and cleanliness throughout the job.

After-Service Support

After the work is completed, we remain available to answer any questions or provide guidance on maintaining your plumbing. Our commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond the initial service, and we’re happy to help with any follow-up concerns or advice.

I had just finished a bathroom renovation and saw to my horror, at the final fit off that the main floor waste was blocked. This was from when floor levelling was done weeks before. Essentially there was concrete in the floor waste. Not knowing what to do I turned to google and saw that there were a bunch of different ways to get rid of the floor leveller and nothing I had tried worked. In a bit of a panic, I had contacted green planet to use a robot grinder to remove the floor leveller from the floor waste. James did a thorough inspection and went through all the various methods we could try to remove the leveller. I went with the robot grinder option. James and his team were punctual, had great communication and worked tirelessly to get the job done. They went above and beyond what was required of them and truly showed that they sympathised with my predicament and weren’t there to just get money out of me. In the end we needed a combination of methods to get rid of all the floor leveller. The team weren’t going to leave the job until it was completely restored and back to full function. I couldn’t recommend the service or professionalism enough. Don’t waste your time with any other company, go with green planet.

Our hot water system stopped working and we had an entirely new one, at a good price, by the end of the next business day. I was given good advice by their plumber on initial assessment and he didn’t try to push an upsell on me. The job was carried out efficiently. Their sparkie was especially helpful and pro-active fixing a couple of things which he technically didn’t need to but he did anyway. All in all would recommend this company.

Another stirling job carried by the boys at Green Planet Plumbing. Zach and his crew of Travis, Darrell, Harley and Jordi, worked tireless for three days and at times in periods of rain. The storm water is now flowing as it should be. We are more than happy with the work carried out. Also a special mention to Travis who went above and beyond to help out two ‘old fellas’. Thanks very much guys for your prompt, professional and friendly service. Keith and Victor

I was especially impressed with how reasonable the price was, and the guarantee they provided gave me real peace of mind.

We had a major issue with the sewer. After taking three quotes, we selected Green Planet plumbing. A friend of ours did pipe relining with them and was very happy with the job. I was impressed with these guys (Tim, Dan, office ladies, the guys who did the job). Two large trucks with special equipment arrived and in two days the job was done! The surprising part was at the end when I wanted to pay the remainder. Tim rang me and said that after cleaning the pipes it became apparent that they did not need to reline one area and they are going to give $1000 discount. That was very nice of them as I would not be able to verify that anyhow. And now we have 20 years warranty from this company. Wish them all the best and highly recommend this company.

My gratitude to Tim firstly, who came to see what the problem was with my blocked sewer.. He fixed it temporarily, came up with a plan to resolve all the issues, then Jordi & Darryl came & actioned all the work needed, of which included a total reline of the system, main drain patch & relocation of dubious pipes that were in wrong locations.. The guys were all patient, obliging & talked me through all the processes that occurred. Nothing was too much trouble to them.. I would recommend this company to anyone that needs work done, they are outstanding & the relining of the system was amazing, so happy .. Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism

Sought quotes to replace our old hot water tank. Ended up using Green Planet Plumbing. James took time to understand what I needed and turnaround time for an appointment was quick. James the installer was very friendly and professional, showed up on time, arranged for disposal of the old tank, installed the new tank, and left everything nice and tidy. He was also more than happy to answer my questions. Hot water tank has been working well. They even followed up when there was a recall on a part to check everything was alright and made some adjustments at no charge. Overall I am very happy with the service. Thanks James & Green Planet Plumbing!

This company is incredible!! I lost something very sentimental down the shower drain and these guys were here to help straight away. Every one I spoke with was very kind and very empathetic towards my situation. My first call went through to a gentleman last night, who’s name I can’t remember through my tears but he was very thoughtful, helped to calm my nerves and book an appointment for this morning. Jess was wonderful over the phone and had someone on their way to me first thing this today. James was very kind, considerate, generous with his time and he did everything he could to successfully retrieve it for me. I could not be more thankful for everything they have done or recommend them highly enough!

Was treated with courtesy and respect my space never felt noisy or uncomfortable, they are communicative and on time. Everything about the work done to refurbish and repair was professional. They went so far as to try and make the previous cistern’s anchor points at least a flat surface with a touch of silicone. I could tell that the plumber took pride in professionalism as well as the quality work done. Customer service to myself as just the tenant, was a high level, they set the bar, as it wasn’t even coming out of my pocket in this instance. At the end I was told that notes around the remaining plumbing maintenance which creeps up, would be reported back to the real estate for me. Everything was accessible and they also covered their work boots in my space, leaving everything clean shiny and new.

We had our hot water system blow the top off during the Christmas holidays. We were very concerned about getting it sorted during the holiday period especially considering we had guests staying over. One call to green planet and everything was ok. Plumber came over within 30 mins of calling them and new hot water system was installed on the same day. Amazing service and everyone was so helpful. Thankyou very much guys, you saved Christmas 🙂

Green planet plumbing arrived at my Airbnb within an hour of calling them on the Saturday night between Xmas and NYE to fit a temp tank for my guests after my hot water tank busted.

We’ve had Green Planet to all of our plumbing jobs at two residences over about 6 years. Their pricing has always been fair, and their tradies 100% committed to their work.

I have had the need to use Green Planet plumbing a couple of times over the past ten years, and each time we have been very impressed. The most recent was an emergency call out at 6:30 pm on a Saturday. Zach was onsite within the hour, isolated the problem, provided us with a work around for the balance of the weekend and we had a plumber on site Monday fixing the issue permanently. BRILLIANT and thank you.
