Plumbing maintenance is an important consideration in the Northern Beaches, as our leafy, beachy environment can pose challenges for stormwater drain pipes and often results in having roots in the sewer systems.
SXP is a dedicated plumbing team committed to solving your plumbing needs with care and efficiency. Founded over 20 years ago by Sven and Nikki, SXP brings decades of hands-on experience and strong local knowledge to every job across the Northern Beaches.
SXP provides plumbing services across commercial, strata, and residential properties throughout the Northern Beaches. Our work covers emergency plumbing, installations for new builds and renovations, repairs and maintenance, as well as drainage and rainwater systems.
We’re on a mission to be the go-to plumber for the Northern Beaches, providing affordable, reliable, and transparent plumbing services. We’re all about building long-term relationships, and that means trust and quality are at the core of all we do.
We’ve all heard the saying ‘prevention is better than cure’, and that is as true of your plumbing health as it is of your physical wellbeing!
Our environment and location play a big role in the health and longevity of our plumbing. For residents of the Northern Beaches, the prevalence of humid, salty air predisposes pipes and drains to corrosion, and the proximity to local forest reserves means there’s never a shortage of leaf matter to clog things up. Proper maintenance means that when issues arise – for example, a wetter-than-normal rainy season – your drains and pipes are ready to handle it, your gutters are clear, your drains are covered, and the impact of the extra rain and debris is minimal. This saves you time and money and potentially prevents a lot of collateral damage to your property.
A proper maintenance schedule means your plumbing and water-using appliances have the best chance of serving you for a long time. At SXP, we’re practical. We understand that a lot is going on in everyone’s life, and remembering when the plumbing needs an inspection isn’t always a top priority, which is why we can develop a maintenance schedule for you – reminders and all! You get the benefits of up-keeping your plumbing, while handing over the mental load of having to remember what needs checking and when.
SXP offers several maintenance services for our clients across the Northern Beaches.
Stormwater pits are designed to collect excess rainwater and debris, slowing the flow of water down and preventing water damage to homes and yards, particularly in areas prone to flooding or water damage. These pits are installed in various locations, including driveways, gardens, and backyards; they play an important role in proper stormwater management. Stormwater pit inspections are important to ensure there are no blockages, debris buildup, corrosion, or contamination, and the pit can function as needed during stormy weather.
Part of keeping your pipes and drains in top working order is clearing out the debris and buildup that routinely occurs. We offer a variety of cleaning services to ensure proper maintenance of your plumbing, from gutter cleaning to clearing drains, easements, first-flush cleaning for rainwater systems, clearing pits and the pipework that feeds them, and more.
SXP works closely with Puretec and offers access to their full range of water filtration products. We handle everything from installation to ongoing maintenance and cartridge replacements. When it’s time to change your filter cartridges, we’ll get in touch — so you can continue enjoying clean, healthy water without interruption.
Both TMVs and tempering valves mix hot and cold water to ensure safe temperature controls and hot water delivery to your property. We offer installation and repairs of hot water systems, and maintenance for your TMVs and tempering valves to give consistent, safe hot water in your home. We recommend that TMV and tempering valves be serviced every 12 months to safeguard the devices, check proper function, and forestall any issues before they become bigger problems. A replacement is due every 5 years.
Pump servicing involves maintenance and repair to ensure your pump operates efficiently and reliably. This includes regular checks, lubrication, and addressing potential issues like leaks, overheating, or bearing damage. SXP offers complete pump solutions, including maintenance, repairs, and installation, from a single source!
As part of our maintenance service, we offer a comprehensive Residential Plumbing Inspection. During this visit, we walk through your home to identify any visible signs of plumbing wear or issues. This includes checking:
Following the visit, we provide you with a detailed report highlighting any items that may need attention. Each issue is assessed for urgency, whether it’s a safety concern requiring immediate repair or a recommendation for future maintenance.
This inspection can also be arranged as part of a pre-purchase assessment when buying a new property, offering peace of mind and transparency about potential future plumbing needs.
Whether you need a quick fix, a full system installation, or advice on your plumbing project, our team is ready to assist. We offer no-obligation quotes, fast service, and reliable solutions that you can trust.
