Common questions

How Fast We Get to You

Response speed and booking, covered here in plain terms.

How fast can you get here?

On-site in 30 minutes, guaranteed, for an urgent call-out anywhere across Bexley and the Bayside area.

Are you really open 24/7?

Yes. A real plumber answers the phone, day or night, including weekends and public holidays.

Do you work weekends and public holidays?

Yes. Drains don't stop blocking because it's a Sunday, so neither do we.

How do I book online?

Send your details through our contact page and a plumber will ring you back to lock in a time. Going through the website rather than phoning is what unlocks the discount below.

Common questions

Pricing and Offers

What things cost, and the two offers that can bring that number down.

What does "$50 off when you book online" cover?

It's $50 off the job price when you book through our website rather than calling. It stacks with the free quote, not with the seniors discount.

How does the 10% seniors discount work?

Seniors card holders get 10% off the job price. Mention it when you book, and it's applied before you approve the fixed quote.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. $0 call-out fee, every time, whether the job goes ahead or not.

Do prices change once you start?

No. The price we quote is the price you pay, with no surprise line items once the job is underway.

Common questions

The Bexley Questions

Two things make Bexley's drains a bit different: the age of the pipes under its older streets, and the mature trees lining them.

What suburbs do you service?

Bexley plus Bexley North, Rockdale, Kingsgrove, Arncliffe and Kogarah. If you're just outside that list, call us anyway.

Do you work on strata and apartment blocks?

Yes. Bexley has a growing mix of newer unit blocks alongside its older houses, and shared stacks need the same fixed-price, licensed approach as any house.

Why do Bexley's older drains keep blocking?

A lot of Bexley's Federation and interwar cottages still drain through original earthenware and clay pipes laid last century. Tree roots find the joints, and the pipes themselves are simply reaching the end of their working life after decades underground.

Do tree roots really get into pipes here?

Constantly. It's the number one call-out we get across Bexley's older streets, especially near the reserves on the western edge, from Domminey Reserve through to Bardwell Creek Reserve on the boundary. Winter brings its own smaller pattern too. Un-ducted period homes lean harder on ageing hot water and heating systems in the cold snaps, and that extra load on old pipework shows up as more calls.

Common questions

Whose Drain Is It, and Who Can Touch It

The legal side of a blocked drain, kept simple.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. NSW Plumbing Licence #275278C, Master Plumber accredited, and covered by $20 million public liability insurance.

What warranty do I get?

A lifetime labour warranty on the work we do. If it's not right, we come back, no questions, no cost.

What is an overflow relief gully and why does it matter?

A grated fitting set into the ground at your home's lowest drainage point, built so a sewer surcharge floods your garden bed rather than your bathroom. Never pave over it or block the grate.

Do wipes really block drains?

Yes, even ones labelled flushable. They stay whole long after toilet paper has broken apart, and in older earthenware pipes they catch on joints and roots until a blockage builds fast.

Ask Us Directly, Call Now

Still have a question we haven't covered? Call (02) 9072 0545 and talk to a real plumber, any time of day.

We'd rather answer it straight over the phone than have you guess from a page. Same fixed-price approach applies either way.
