Blocked Drain FAQs for Peakhurst

We inspect the blockage first, then give you a price before any work starts. That's what you pay, no revisions once we're underway.

Book your job through our website instead of by phone and $50 comes off the final invoice. It applies to any blocked drain call-out, no fine print attached.

No. $0 call-out fee, every visit, whether the job goes ahead or not. You only pay once you've said yes to going ahead.

No. The price we quote is the price you pay, no exceptions. If something extra turns up mid-job, we stop and requote before touching it.

If it's surfacing at the street and your neighbours have the same problem, that's a Sydney Water mains issue. Everything from your boundary shaft in is on you, and that's the part we fix.

Yes, flushable-labelled ones included, and they stay whole long after toilet paper has dissolved. They catch on rough joints and root growth in older clay pipe, a regular cause of call-outs across Peakhurst.

It's the small grated pipe near your house, usually low to the ground, designed to overflow outside before sewage backs up inside. Water gurgling up through it or spilling over is a warning sign worth acting on.

For one slow sink or a single blocked toilet, a plunger won't hurt. Reach for chemical cleaner or a hired eel on old clay pipework and you risk splitting it further, and NSW law requires a licensed plumber for anything beyond that.

A licensed plumber answers, talks through what's going on, and we get a technician on the way. On-site, we inspect, tell you the price, and only start once you approve it.

We guarantee a plumber on-site within 30 minutes of your call. That promise holds across Peakhurst and the surrounding Georges River suburbs.

Sewage backing up inside the house, water pooling around the boundary shaft, or a toilet that won't stop overflowing all count. If in doubt, call anyway; we'd rather check than have you guess.

Fill in the form on our contact page and we'll ring you to sort a time that suits. Booking this way also gets you the $50 off offer.

Constantly. Peakhurst's leafy older streets and generous back gardens mean roots are the single biggest cause of blocked drains we see here. They chase moisture straight into ageing clay joints, and once in, they don't let go.

Peakhurst is a suburb we're in most weeks, not a postcode we service occasionally. We know the Forest Road strip, the Peakhurst Inn on its corner, and the streets behind them well enough to expect what we'll find before we arrive.

Most of the suburb was built out from the 1940s through the 1980s, in that long post-war wave, and a lot of that original clay drainage is still underground. Decades of shifting reactive clay soil crack the joints, and roots do the rest.

Peakhurst is our regular run, along with Mortdale, Riverwood, Penshurst, Beverly Hills and Hurstville. Not listed? Call anyway, chances are you're still on our patch.
