Your Questions, Answered

Sewage coming back up through a fixture, a gully spilling over into the yard, or several drains blocking up together all count as an emergency in our book. Ring (02) 9023 2087 and we treat those calls as a priority, with a plumber sent out straight away.

A real person answers the phone, hears what's happening, and slots you into a time that works, often the same day. A plumber turns up, checks the job with a camera if it's needed, and gives you a fixed price before touching anything.

Call (02) 9023 2087 and we'll sort a time on the spot, or send a message through our contact page and we'll ring you back. Either way, you'll speak with someone on our own crew, not a call centre reading from a script.

Ring before lunch most days and a plumber is usually moving your way within a few hours. We're on call 24/7, so a job that comes in at midnight gets treated the same as one at midday.

It's $65 off whatever your first job costs, a blocked drain clear, a repair or a CCTV inspection, no fine print attached. New customers get it taken straight off the final invoice, on top of our usual fixed-price quote.

No, and that's really the point of quoting upfront. We look at the job, agree a fixed number with you on the spot, and that figure is what lands on the invoice, whatever the job turns out to involve.

Yes. A plumber has a look, tells you what's wrong and what it costs, and you're free to say no with nothing owing. Most people go ahead once they hear the number is fixed and won't move once the job starts.

As well as money off your first job, we run a free CCTV drain inspection with any jet blast, a free plumbing check on jobs worth $200 or more, a free premium garden tap on any completed paid job, and 20% off for seniors. They all stack, no conditions attached.

Yes, it's one of the most common causes we see here. Heavy tree canopy along the bushland edges sends roots looking for moisture in older pipework, and autumn leaf fall on top of that can clog gutters and stormwater around the same time of year.

A lot of the housing stock here goes back to the Federation and inter-war years around the original 1895 railway, and those homes were plumbed with earthenware clay drainage. It's a material that cracks and develops joint gaps as it ages, which is exactly where debris catches and a blockage starts.

Normanhurst is home turf, and the same crew works right out to Thornleigh, Hornsby, Wahroonga, Pennant Hills, Waitara and Beecroft, on the same terms across the board.

We do. There's a growing pocket of units near the station and the village shops, alongside older strata blocks further out, and we quote and service both the same way we would a standalone house, no extra layers of paperwork.

Yes. Every plumber on our books carries a current NSW plumbing licence, Lic #465156C, with insurance cover behind every job, no exceptions. Ask to see proof of both before anyone starts work on your property.

Any drainage job here follows the AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards, the rulebook covering pipe sizing through to how a repair ties back into what's already there. That's the benchmark we hold ourselves to, whether or not anyone's checking.

They're one of the biggest offenders we see, even the ones labelled flushable. They don't break down the way toilet paper does, so they snag on any rough joint and build into a blockage over time. Bin them instead of flushing them and you'll cut your odds of a callout.

For a single slow fixture, a plunger or a jug of hot water often does the trick. Once it's more than that, NSW law requires a licensed plumber for drainage work anyway, and getting one out early keeps the pipework's warranty intact.
