Common questions

How Fast We Get to You

How do I book?

Ring (02) 9139 9922 and tell us what's going on. We'll lock in a time, and same-day is usually on the table.

What counts as a drain emergency?

Sewage coming back up inside the house, a gully overflowing in the yard, or two fixtures blocked together are the ones that can't wait until tomorrow. Don't sit on any of those, call us straight away.

Do you work weekends and public holidays?

Every day, no exceptions. Blocked drains happen on a Sunday just as often as a Tuesday. So we're set up to answer either way.

How fast can you get here?

Plumpton is inside our normal patch, so same-day is the promise, not the exception. We'll give you a proper time window rather than leaving you guessing.

Common questions

What It Costs to Get It Sorted

What does "$65 off your first service" cover?

It's taken off the quoted price once we've confirmed the job in writing. First-time customers only, and it stacks with nothing else on that visit.

How does your upfront fixed pricing work?

We inspect first, then confirm a fixed price in writing before anyone picks up a tool. That price doesn't move once you've said yes.

What discounts do you offer?

$65 off a first service, a free CCTV check with any jet blast, a free plumbing inspection on jobs over $200, a free garden tap on completed paid work, and 20% off for seniors.

Is the quote really free?

Yes, every time. Whether you go ahead or want to think it over, looking at the problem and pricing it costs you nothing.

Common questions

The Plumpton Questions

Do tree roots cause many blockages around Plumpton?

More than most jobs we quote here. Established gardens across the estate have thirty-plus years of root growth chasing moisture through the shale clay underneath.

Do you handle strata and units?

We do. Townhouse infill has gone up near the Marketplace over the last couple of decades, and shared-drainage jobs come with their own sign-off, which we take care of.

Can you handle new builds and renovations here?

Both ends of the spectrum. Original brick-veneer from the late 1980s sits alongside newer townhouse builds, and drainage work differs between the two.

How local are you, really?

We're through this stretch of Blacktown regularly enough to know it, not visiting for the first time. Street layouts and pipe ages here aren't a surprise to us.

Common questions

Licensing, Insurance and Responsibility

What standards does drainage work follow?

AS/NZS 3500 governs plumbing and drainage in Australia, right down to pipe falls and venting. Every job we do is measured against it.

Are you licensed and insured?

NSW plumbing licence #465156C, and fully insured on top of that. The licensed plumbers and gas fitters on our tools in Plumpton are qualified for the exact job in front of them, not just generally licensed.

Do wipes really block drains?

Almost always the culprit when we clear a blockage that shouldn't be there. Wipes marketed as flushable don't break down like paper does, and they catch on the first rough joint they hit, then trap grease and grit behind them until the pipe's fully choked.

What is your lifetime labour warranty?

Our labour is covered for the whole time you own the property, not a fixed twelve-month window. If something we did fails, we're back to fix it, no invoice.
