Common questions
What It Costs to Get It Sorted
What discounts do you offer?
There's a fair bit on offer: $65 off your first service, a free CCTV inspection with any jet blast, a free plumbing inspection on jobs of $200 or more, a free garden tap with any completed job, and a 20% seniors discount. All five stack together, with no limit on how many you use and nothing that cancels another one out.
How does your upfront fixed pricing work?
We look at the job in full, then give you one fixed price before any tool comes out. That figure is what lands on your invoice, whether the blockage turns out simple or stubborn, with no hourly rate creeping it up.
What does "$65 off your first service" cover?
That discount comes straight off the total cost of your first job with us, applied to the invoice once the work is done. There's no minimum spend and no service it's excluded from, so it applies to any blocked drain job you book.
What does "from $89" actually include?
The $89 figure covers a straightforward blocked drain clear: one access point, one blockage, no complications. If the camera turns up something bigger, like a cracked pipe, we'll always agree the extra cost with you before touching it.
Common questions
Licensing, Insurance and Responsibility
What is your lifetime labour warranty?
Every job we finish is covered for the life of the work, not just a year or two. If something we did comes loose or fails, we come back and fix it at no cost, no conditions attached.
Do wipes really block drains?
Yes, and they're one of the most common causes we see. Despite the label, flushable wipes are not flushable. They snag on the smallest rough patch in a pipe and build into a solid blockage over time.
What standards does drainage work follow?
All drainage work we do follows the AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards, the general rulebook for how pipework has to be installed and repaired in NSW. It's less exciting than it sounds: mostly correct falls, correct materials, and joints that won't fail early.
Can I clear a blocked drain myself?
A plunger or a kettle of hot water sorts plenty of simple, single-fixture blockages, so there's no need to call anyone for those. Once it's an actual drainage line, though, NSW law requires a licensed plumber, and there's a real risk of pushing the blockage further in.
Common questions
Response Times and Booking
What happens after I call?
A real person answers, day or night, and takes down what's going on. We'll often lock in a same-day time then and there, and agree the full price on site before any work starts.
What counts as a drain emergency?
Sewage backing up inside the house, more than one fixture blocked at once, or a gully overflowing into the yard all count as urgent. Call us straight away for any of those and we'll treat it as a priority, not a booking for next week.
Do you work weekends and public holidays?
Yes, every day of the year, including public holidays. There's no weekend loading or after-hours surcharge either: the quote you're given is the quote you pay, whatever day it is.
How fast can you get here?
Same-day, in most cases, and often sooner if it's genuinely urgent. We're on call 24/7, so there's always someone who can take your call and get a time locked in.
Common questions
Local Answers for Cabramatta
How local are you, really?
We're not a call centre routing your job to whoever's rostered on across Sydney. This is a regular part of our run, right down to streets like Bartley Street, not a one-off visit.
Do you handle strata and units?
Yes, we work on strata blocks and unit complexes as well as standalone houses. Cabramatta's mix of houses and older walk-up units means shared stormwater and sewer lines come up regularly, and we're used to dealing with owners corporations and managing agents.
Why do Cabramatta's older homes get blocked drains?
A lot of Cabramatta's older stock, the Federation-era cottages near the station and the fibro and brick-veneer homes built through the 1950s to 70s, were plumbed with earthenware sewer pipes. Those porous joints let tree roots and silt in over the decades, which is the single biggest reason we get called back to the same older streets.
Can you handle new builds and renovations here?
Definitely. Renovations and new infill units around the commercial core often need fresh drainage runs or connections checked before the fit-out goes in. We'll test the line and confirm it's ready before anyone signs off.
