We respond within 2 hours for emergencies in Bellambi and the surrounding Wollongong area. Wherever you are, the first step is the same: call, tell us what's happening, and we'll tell you when to expect us.

Choosing a plumber in Wollongong: four quick checks
Whoever you call, a few minutes of checking protects you and your property.
- Check the licence. In NSW you need a licence for any plumbing, draining or gasfitting work, whatever the job costs and whether it's residential or commercial. Service NSW lets you check a contractor licence online by name, ABN or licence type before work starts. Our ABN is 23 666 546 925.
- Get a quote for planned work. For anything that isn't an emergency, you should know the scope before work begins. Our quotes are free.
- Ask what happens out of hours. Pipes burst at night and on weekends, and knowing who answers the phone then saves a scramble later. We're on 0411 251 759 around the clock.
- Know what's included. Each Aqua Rise job includes two free extras, a plumbing safety report and fully qualified advice, and the work is backed by a 12+ month warranty.

Toby was prompt and polite. He efficiently got on with the job. Unfazed by my dog hiding his shoe. Very reasonable charge. I’d highly recommend him for any plumbing job.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover all of Wollongong?
Yes. We cover Wollongong city and the escarpment suburbs from Mount Ousley to Mount Kembla, the northern suburbs from Corrimal and Bellambi up to Clifton, and the south and Shellharbour City through to Albion Park. Our base is in Bellambi and we answer calls 24/7. If you're not sure whether your street is in our area, call 0411 251 759 and ask.
How quickly can a plumber get to me in Wollongong?
We respond within 2 hours for emergencies in Bellambi and the surrounding Wollongong area, including Wollongong itself, Russell Vale, Corrimal, Towradgi, Woonona, Bulli and Thirroul. Further out, such as Austinmer to Clifton or the southern suburbs, we still come out 24/7; call and we'll give you an ETA from our nearest plumber. Planned work is booked at a time that suits you.
Do you work for builders and owner-builders?
Yes. Our job records around Wollongong include new homes for builders and owner-builders, renovations for builders, and additions and alterations for home owners. We handle both stages, the rough-in during construction and the fit-off at the end, plus gas fitting and stormwater where the project needs it. Ask us for a free quote.
Do you do gas fitting as well as plumbing?
Yes. Gas fitting is part of our licensed work and appears in our job records around Wollongong. In NSW, gasfitting is a licence category in its own right, and any gasfitting work needs a licence whatever the size of the job, so it isn't one for DIY. We handle gas connections for appliances, gas work during renovations and suspected leaks.
Is a quote free?
Yes. For planned work such as a renovation, a new hot water system or a drain repair, we give you a free quote before any work starts. In an emergency the priority is making things safe. Once that's done, we explain what we found and what the repair involves before going any further.
