Advice to save you frustration and money

Blocked Drains

If your sewer becomes blocked, immediately stop using all fixtures and make sure the surcharge gully outside is unobstructed. Refer to FAQ section of this site.

Money Saving Ideas

These are just a few ideas which can save you money:

  • Choose only a reputable plumbing company using highly trained staff who specialise in the particular job you want done. Ensure your plumber offers you a 100% guarantee on their labour. This may save you paying to have the job done again. Use a plumbing firm who will show up when promised, your most valuable asset is your time - don't waste it waiting around for a serviceman who never shows up.
  • Ensure your sewer and stormwater drains are checked periodically for any obstructions or tree root growth, roots left growing in your piping system for a long period is a good way to destroy your pipes to the point where renewal is the only option. Also blockages in stormwater drains during heavy rain can cause extensive damage by flooding.
  • Never let your plumber dig and renew your sewer or stormwater pipes just because the obstruction cannot be cleared, ask for the problem to be diagnosed with a CCTV camera if unsure. Using a specialist drain cleaning firm can actually save you money by having the correct equipment on hand to carry out the job. 98% of blockages in sewer lines can be cleared without digging or renewing.
  • Don't waste your time calling around every plumbing firm in the phone book just to find the cheapest quoted rates, 90% of the time the plumber with the cheapest rate will be the least experienced and more than likely will not be the cheapest job.

Sydney Plumbing




See what some of our satisfied customers have had to say about our work.

Just a note to compliment your company on a job well done. Your plumber came round on Saturday to investigate the problem of a blocked drain. He was polite, very professional and explained clearly what the problem was and what would have to be done. He came back yesterday with his team and they completed the job within the time stated, at the price quoted and left everything clean and tidy. We very much appreciate the service, and will definitely give you a call whenever we have a plumbing problem.
Many thanks,

Good Morning,

I write to you with pleasure at great service and customer service from one of your staff. Your staff spent some time quoting a plumbing job for a new fridge I was hoping to purchase, however due to the structure of my house was unable to do this. Just wanted to drop a quick note, to state what a fantastic staff member you have. I have kept your card and will definitely refer you to both friends and family.
