24/7 Emergency Plumbing across Hornsby & surrounding suburbs
Hornsby Plumber for Apartments, Houses & Shared Plumbing
An apartment leak and a blocked house drain need different access and approval arrangements. Anton’s Plumbing & Gas helps Hornsby residents and property managers with both, alongside hot water and fixture repairs. Provide building-management details or house-access restrictions when booking so we can discuss the fault, proposed work and likely interruptions.

Trusted Local Plumber in Hornsby for Every Job
Hornsby combines mid-20th-century houses with townhouses, apartments and strata buildings concentrated closer to the town centre and station. Anton’s Plumbing & Gas operates under NSW Licence 210933C and provides blocked-drain clearing, burst-pipe repairs, emergency plumbing and gas assistance, licensed gas fitting, hot water services, leaking-tap repairs and toilet repairs. Our plumbers work across homes, rentals, strata properties and businesses throughout Hornsby, with nearby coverage also available in Waitara and Asquith.
Older Hornsby properties may still contain clay or earthenware sewer lines and sections of galvanised water pipe, while mature trees and bushland can increase the risk of root intrusion into ageing drains. We also provide CCTV drain camera inspections, pipe relining, leak detection, backflow prevention and repairs to damaged water, sewer and stormwater lines where appropriate. Our work is assessed with reference to the AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards and applicable AS/NZS 5601 gas requirements.
Sloping and gully-affected blocks can influence stormwater movement, drainage fall and underground pipe access, while unit buildings may involve shared stacks and strata approval requirements. Anton’s provides residential, rental, strata and commercial plumbing throughout Hornsby and also services nearby properties in Normanhurst and Wahroonga. We consider the NSW Government’s plumbing standards notes, explain the suitable options and provide upfront fixed-rate pricing before approved work begins.

Licensed gas work
We locate and clear blockages properly with CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure water jetting — not temporary quick fixes. Possible causes include tree roots, grease build-up, wipes or damaged pipework; a CCTV inspection helps identify what is actually blocking a drain.
For recurring blockages we’ll show you the camera footage and give straight advice on whether clearing, targeted repair or relining is the right long-term fix.
Burst pipe, gas smell or overflowing drain? Our 24/7 team gives Hornsby priority response with fully stocked vans, so most emergencies are fixed on the first visit. You’ll get an upfront price before any work starts — even at 2am.
If water is flooding, turn off the supply at the meter first, then call us. If you smell gas, leave the building immediately and call 000 from outside. Avoid flames and electrical switches. Arrange a licensed inspection only after emergency services say it is safe.
No hot water this morning? We repair and replace storage tanks, continuous-flow and heat-pump systems, sized correctly for your household — with same-day changeovers available for most standard systems in Hornsby.
Every install includes correctly rated tempering and pressure-control valves to current standards, so your system is safe as well as efficient.
Running cisterns, leaking bases and blocked toilets fixed fast — with parts carried on board for the most common systems. A constantly running toilet can waste hundreds of litres a day, so it pays to fix it early.
If a replacement makes more sense than a repair, we’ll quote both options so you can choose what’s right for your budget.
Unexplained water bills or damp patches? We use acoustic and thermal detection to pinpoint hidden leaks without pulling apart walls — then repair at the exact spot.
Every job is documented with photos and an itemised invoice, which supports insurance claims and gives you a clear record of the repair.
Repair cracked or root-damaged pipes without digging up driveways, paving or established gardens. We CCTV-assess the line, then install a structural liner rated for decades of service.
You receive the inspection footage and a written condition report — useful for insurance, strata records or simply peace of mind that the problem is properly fixed.
Licensed gas fitting for cooktops, heaters, BBQ points and hot water — including line sizing, pressure testing and compliance certificates for Hornsby homes and businesses.
Smell gas? Leave the building immediately and call 000 from outside. Avoid flames and electrical switches. Once emergency services say it is safe, call us to arrange a licensed gas inspection and repair.

Common Plumbing Issues We Fix in Hornsby
Roots can enter cracked or poorly joined drains and cause repeat blockages. CCTV inspection helps confirm whether they are involved.
Grease, food scraps and wipes are the leading cause of slow or blocked kitchen and laundry drains.
Most storage systems last 8–12 years. Rusty water or lukewarm showers usually mean it's time for an assessment.
Worn washers and cistern valves quietly waste water and inflate bills until they're repaired.
Braided hoses under sinks are a leading cause of indoor flooding — we inspect and replace them before they fail.
Leaves, silt and debris block outdoor drains during heavy rain, backing water up toward the house.
