Common questions
How Fast We Get to You
How fast can you get here?
We guarantee on-site in 30 minutes for a blocked drain call in Wahroonga. That's a promise we stand behind, not a rough estimate, because a backed-up drain doesn't wait for a convenient time.
Are you really open 24/7?
Yes, including weekends and public holidays. A licensed plumber answers the phone every time, whatever hour it is, so you get a real conversation rather than a recorded message.
Do you work weekends and public holidays?
We do, at no extra charge for calling on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday. A drain overflowing at your place doesn't care what day it is, and neither do we.
How do I book online?
You can request a callback through our contact page and a plumber will ring to confirm details. Booking online also unlocks the $50 off when you book online offer, applied to your job once we've quoted.
Common questions
Pricing, Straight Up
Is the quote really free?
It is. A plumber looks at what's blocked, tells you straight what's involved, and hands you a fixed price with zero obligation to book. Nothing changes hands unless you say go ahead.
How do quotes work?
A plumber inspects the blockage, explains what's causing it, and gives you one figure that covers the whole job. Say yes and that figure is locked in, whatever turns up once we're into the work.
How does the 10% seniors discount work?
Mention it when you book and we'll take 10% off the quoted price for the job. It applies on top of the usual $0 call-out fee and free quote, no extra paperwork required.
Do prices change once you start?
No. The price we quote is the price you pay. No exceptions, even if the job under the house turns out trickier than expected once we're into it.
Common questions
Local Answers for Wahroonga
Do you know Wahroonga's pipe stock?
We do. Plenty of the Federation and interwar homes here still run original clay drainage, while newer builds near the station carry modern PVC. Knowing which era a street belongs to tells us what we're likely dealing with before we've even opened the access point.
Do you work on strata and apartment blocks?
We do, alongside the detached family homes that make up most of Wahroonga. Shared drainage on a strata property needs sign-off through the right channels, and we're used to working within that process.
Do tree roots really get into pipes here?
Constantly. The suburb's heavy tree canopy and big established gardens mean roots find their way into older clay joints more often than almost anything else we get called out for. It's one of the most common reasons a drain that cleared last year blocks again.
What suburbs do you service?
Wahroonga is home turf, and we cover the suburbs around it too, including Turramurra, Hornsby, Normanhurst, Waitara and Thornleigh. If you're just outside that list, call anyway and we'll let you know.
Common questions
Whose Drain Is It, and Who Can Touch It
What warranty do I get?
Every job carries our lifetime labour warranty. If it's not right, we come back. No questions, no cost, and no cut-off.
Who is responsible for a blocked sewer, me or Sydney Water?
The pipework from your boundary shaft in belongs to you, and that is the part we fix. Sewage coming up in the street itself, with the same trouble showing at a few houses along the road, usually means the mains are the culprit, not your own line.
What is an overflow relief gully and why does it matter?
It's the dome-shaped grate near your house, usually low on an outside wall, designed to overflow safely outdoors before sewage backs up into the house. A blocked or damaged one is often the first visible sign something further down the line needs attention.
Do wipes really block drains?
Yes, even the ones marked flushable on the packet. They stay intact well past the point where toilet paper has fallen apart, snagging on tree roots or rough clay joints until enough builds up to block the line.
