Blocked Drain Plumber Double Bay FAQs

Book the job through the website rather than ringing us, and $50 comes off the total. It works alongside the free quote, so the full cost is still clear before you say yes.

No. We agree the number with you before we touch a spanner, and that's the number on the invoice. If something changes the scope, we stop and talk to you first, not after.

Seniors card holders get 10% off the job total. Just mention it when you book or when the plumber arrives, and it's applied to the fixed price we quote.

You call or book online, we ask a few questions, and we give you a free, no-obligation quote before any work starts. Nothing is charged just for showing up.

Yes. NSW Plumbing Licence #275278C, Master Plumber accredited, and covered by $20 million public liability insurance. All checkable, not just claimed.

One blocked fixture, a plunger might sort it. Bottled chemicals and a hired root auger are a different story, especially on old clay pipework, and NSW rules mean the actual drainage repair has to be a licensed plumber's job anyway, so ring us before it turns into a bigger mess.

It's that grated pit set into the ground near your house, built to spill outward rather than let sewage push back into the home if the main line can't cope. Water sitting in it or bubbling out means something downstream needs clearing, and it's worth getting ahead of.

Constantly, and the flushable label doesn't change that. Toilet paper dissolves in water and wipes largely don't, so they snag on any rough spot inside an older pipe and gradually build up a wall of blockage.

Sewage backing up inside the house, water overflowing from a gully or toilet, or a total blockage with no fixtures draining. Any of those, call straight away rather than waiting.

You'll talk the problem through with a licensed plumber, not a call taker reading from a script. We book it in straight away and have someone on-site in 30 minutes guaranteed, with the price locked in before a spanner comes out.

Yes, 365 days a year including weekends and public holidays. A real person answers, day or night, not a machine and not a call centre reading a script.

Guaranteed on-site 30 minutes from your call. Drains overflow whenever they feel like it, not on a nine-to-five schedule, so our response doesn't run on one either.

Double Bay is our regular run, plus Bellevue Hill, Edgecliff, Woollahra, Rose Bay and Dover Heights, all inside or bordering Woollahra Municipal Council. See our Bellevue Hill, Edgecliff, Woollahra, Rose Bay and Dover Heights pages for more on each area.

We do. Streets like Patterson Street still carry a good number of Victorian-era terraces, and their original clay drains are exactly the kind that crack and misalign with age. Add the year-round salt air off the harbour corroding any exposed metal fittings, and it's a combination we see constantly here.

Regularly. Older clay pipe joints aren't sealed the way modern PVC is, and a root only needs a hairline gap to get a foothold. Once it's in, the blockage comes back until the section's cleared or relined.

Yes. With around three-quarters of Double Bay's dwellings being flats and apartments, shared drain lines are common. We work directly with owners' corporations and managing agents on those jobs.
