Common questions

Money, Quotes and the $65 Off

What discounts do you offer?

Right now that's $65 off your first service, a free CCTV inspection with any jet blast, a free plumbing inspection on jobs over $200, a free garden tap on any completed job, and 20% off for seniors. You can combine more than one, and we'll confirm the total saving before we start.

How does your upfront fixed pricing work?

Every job gets a proper look before we quote. From there it's a fixed price before we start, and that price holds no matter how the work unfolds. No surprises on the invoice, ever.

Do prices change once you start?

No, and that's really the whole idea behind quoting up front. Once you've given the go-ahead on our number, that's the figure on the invoice. The only variation is if you ask for extra work part-way through, which we'd always price separately first.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. We run a $0 call-out fee, so having someone come and look costs you nothing. You only pay once we've agreed on the cost of the actual work.

Common questions

Who's Responsible for What

Do wipes really block drains?

Yes, more often than people expect. Packaging says flushable, but the material stays intact well past the toilet and snags on any rough joint or root it meets. Putting them in the bin rather than the bowl makes a real difference to how often we get called out.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Our team holds full plumbing and gas fitting licences, and we operate under NSW Plumbing Licence #465156C. We're also fully insured, so you're covered on every job, big or small.

What is your lifetime labour warranty?

If our workmanship on a job ever fails, we come back and fix it at no cost to you. Nothing about that promise gets smaller with time.

Who is responsible for a blocked sewer, me or Sydney Water?

As a rule, everything on your side of the boundary is on you, and the water authority takes over from the connection point outward. When it's not obvious which side a blockage falls on, we check first and quote only once we know.

Common questions

When We Can Come

Are you really available 24/7?

Yes, a real person answers the phone any time, weekends included. We're not a call centre, and same-day service is usually available.

Do you work weekends and public holidays?

Yes, every day of the week including public holidays. A Sunday call gets the same crew and the same quote as a Wednesday one, and we never add an after-hours loading to the invoice.

What counts as a drain emergency?

In our book, that's sewage coming back up inside the house, a gully spilling over outside, or several fixtures blocking at the same time. Any of those three, phone us straight away instead of hoping it settles down on its own.

How do I book?

Call (02) 9139 9982. Someone will take your details straight away, talk through what's going on, lock in a time, and confirm the price before anyone starts.

Common questions

Local Answers for Ryde

What suburbs do you service?

We cover Ryde and the neighbouring suburbs of West Ryde, Meadowbank, Putney, Gladesville and Eastwood. If your street sits just outside that list, call (02) 9139 9982 and we'll tell you straight away.

Do you handle strata and units?

Yes. With so much of Ryde split between houses and units around places like TAFE NSW Ryde, strata blockages and shared stormwater lines are a regular part of the job. Owners corporations and managing agents contact us directly when something needs sorting.

Do tree roots cause many blockages around Ryde?

Yes, tree roots sit near the top of our call list here. Ryde's post-war streets were mostly laid with earthenware sewer pipes, and mature street trees have had decades to find every joint and crack. Once roots get in, the blockage tends to return until that section is relined or replaced.

How local are you, really?

Our vans are around Ryde on most days, and not just when a job comes in. The crew can find their way around the older streets near Anderson Park just as easily as the newer builds by the interchange. That's a service-area habit, not a head-office claim.
