Common questions

Pricing, Quotes and Offers

How does your upfront fixed pricing work?

We look at the job, then give you one fixed price before any work starts. That's the price you pay, whether the job takes twenty minutes or two hours.

What does "from $89" actually include?

Our $89 starting price covers straightforward blocked-drain jobs, like a single fixture backing up with easy access. We confirm the fixed quote on site before anything starts, so you know exactly what you're paying and why.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

There's a $0 call-out fee, every time, whether we end up doing the job or not. Whatever you pay is for the work alone, agreed upfront before we start.

Do prices change once you start?

No, that's the whole point of a fixed quote. Once we've agreed a price on site, it doesn't move, even if the job runs long or turns out trickier than expected.

Common questions

The Legal Stuff, Made Simple

What standards does drainage work follow?

Drainage work in NSW follows the AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards, and any job touching the sewer or stormwater connection needs a licensed plumber. We work to those standards on every visit, so what goes back in the ground holds up.

What is your lifetime labour warranty?

Every job carries a lifetime labour warranty. If our own workmanship is ever the reason something goes wrong later, we return and repair it for free, whether that's next month or years down the line.

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

The pipework on your property, right up to the connection point, is your responsibility to maintain, while Sydney Water owns and maintains the main beyond that point. If the blockage is on your side, it's a job for a licensed plumber.

Can I clear a blocked drain myself?

A plunger, or hot water down a slow sink or toilet, usually sorts out the minor stuff. Anything more stubborn than that needs a licensed plumber under NSW law, especially once tree roots or a cracked pipe are involved.

Common questions

Response Times and Booking

Are you really available 24/7?

Yes, a real person answers the phone day or night, not a machine. If it's urgent, we'll talk you through what to do until we can get there.

How fast can you get here?

Most Fairfield jobs are booked in and done the same day we're called. Call before lunch and a plumber is usually on site well before evening.

What counts as a drain emergency?

Water backing up through a floor waste, a gully overflowing across the yard, or two or more fixtures blocked together all count as urgent. Shut the water off at the source where you can, then get us on the phone.

How do I book?

Call (02) 9023 2096 and tell us what's going on. We'll line up a slot that works for you, most often the same day you ring.

Common questions

Working in and Around Fairfield

How local are you, really?

We're on the road most weeks, from the shops at Fairfield City Central through to the older streets near the station. It's not a suburb we're guessing our way through.

Do you handle strata and units?

Yes, the suburb has plenty of walk-up flats from the 1960s to 80s ringing the CBD, and we regularly work with owners, tenants and strata managers to get access sorted and the job done properly.

Can you handle new builds and renovations here?

Yes, we handle both, from newer builds near the line to older homes mid-renovation. We check what's already in the ground before connecting anything new, so the drainage suits the property, not just the plans.

Do tree roots cause many blockages around Fairfield?

They're one of the more common causes we see. A lot of Fairfield's older sewer lines are vitrified clay, laid last century, and roots from mature street trees find their way into the joints over time.
