How it works
Step 1: Call or book online
Tell us what is happening. We ask the right questions and book a time that suits you.
Step 2: We find the cause
A licensed plumber diagnoses it properly, with a drain camera, leak detection or a pressure test where it helps.
Step 3: A fixed price, agreed first
You agree the price before any work starts. We quote the job, not the hour, so there are no surprise charges.
Step 4: Done right, guaranteed
We finish the job, clean up, and back our workmanship with a lifetime labour guarantee.
Step 5: You know the price first
The figure for the whole job, in writing, before anyone starts. That figure is what turns up on the invoice.

Questions and answers
In most storms, yes, and that's the visit worth making, because a line opened at the peak keeps water off your floor. In the very biggest storms every plumber in Sydney is flat out, and we'll tell you honestly on the phone where things stand.
Lay a sandbag or a rolled towel across the threshold now, and lift power boards, rugs and anything electrical off the floor. Stay out of moving water and clear of any power point that has got wet.
If the house is flooding or trees and roofs are down, call the SES on 132 500. If the water is coming from blocked pits, gutters or stormwater pipes, call us.
The pipe leaving the pit is usually blocked, broken or root-choked, or the pit is too small for the roof area it serves. The camera tells us which.
The owner looks after the private stormwater pipes and pits on the property. Once the water reaches the street gutter, it's council's system.
That depends on your policy and your insurer. We leave an invoice that says what was blocked or broken and what we did, which is what they usually ask for.
