Study Reveals Top Cities Where Australians Rest Easy Knowing Plumbers Are Close By

  • Reservoir tops the list with one plumber for every 0.02 square mile.
  • Castle Hill (second) and Bankstown (third) recorded coverage rates of one plumber for every 0.038 and 0.044 square miles, respectively.
  • Gold Coast reported 423 registered plumbers, the highest among all the populous Australian cities.

A new study based on Yellow Pages directory data reveals that Reservoir has the strongest plumber accessibility in Australia.

The research by Canberra-based plumbing company J&J Plumbing Services analysed registered plumber data across 50 Australian cities by population, comparing plumber counts against land area coverage to identify which cities offer residents the most accessible plumbing professionals when emergencies strike.

Reservoir ranks first with one plumber for every 0.02 square mile. The city, spanning just 5 square miles, has 228 registered plumbers providing comprehensive solutions.

Castle Hill ranks second with one plumber per 0.038 square mile, demonstrating strong professional coverage across its 9 square mile area. With 235 registered plumbers serving the community, residents have reliable access to plumbing services. 

Bankstown places third, with one plumber for every 0.044 square mile. The city’s 13 square miles are served by 295 registered plumbers, ensuring residents can access services for 24-hour emergency repairs.

Looking at the study, a spokesperson from J&J Plumbing Services commented:

“This data clearly illustrates how plumber accessibility varies dramatically by region. In cities like Reservoir and Castle Hill, the concentration of licensed professionals per square mile exceeds other areas, providing residents with peace of mind that help is never far away.

“From burst pipes and blocked drains to gas fitting and 24-hour emergencies, Australians need confidence that qualified plumbers are readily available in their local area.

“This research serves as a reminder to homeowners and local authorities to ensure that plumber coverage and access to licensed professionals remain a priority, especially in rapidly growing urban areas.”

Frankston East ranks fourth with one plumber every 0.0451 square mile, offering solid coverage with 133 registered plumbers across 6 square miles.

Saint Albans takes fifth place with one plumber per 0.05 square mile. The area’s 8 square miles are served by 161 registered plumbers specialising in emergency callouts and general maintenance.

Armadale (6th) with one plumber every 0.0561 square mile, followed by Rowville (7th) at 0.0567, Epping (8th) with 0.0568, Werribee (9th) at 0.06, and Queanbeyan (10th) with one plumber every 0.07 square mile.
