Blocked Drain Plumber Artarmon FAQs

Yes. We'll come out, take a proper look at the blockage, and give you a firm number in writing before any work starts. There's no charge for that visit, and you're never asked to commit to anything until you know exactly what it'll cost.

The $89 starting price covers a straightforward blocked drain, the kind we clear most often. Anything more involved, such as a cracked pipe or a job that needs a camera run first, gets its own fixed quote once we've had a proper look, so the total is settled before anyone starts work.

New customers get $65 off their first job with us, taken straight off the quote we give on the day. It applies across our drain services and stacks with other current offers, so ask when you book and we'll confirm it in writing.

We settle on a number together before any tool goes near the pipe. What you're quoted is based on what we actually find on site, not a guess over the phone, and it stays exactly the same once you've said go ahead.

Yes. Our plumbers hold NSW Plumbing Licence #465156C and we're fully insured for the work we do. Drainage work in NSW has to be carried out by a licensed plumber, and every person we send out meets that requirement.

They're a leading cause of the blockages we see. So-called flushable wipes are nowhere near as flushable as the packet claims, and Sydney Water itself flags them as a top cause of blockages across its network. The water authority's advice is simple: bin them instead of flushing them.

Drainage work in Australia is generally carried out to the AS/NZS 3500 plumbing code, which sets out how pipes are meant to be sized, graded and connected. It's general knowledge in the trade, and it's the standard our plumbers are trained to work to on every job.

Every job we do carries a lifetime labour warranty, with no catches and no expiry date on it. If something about our labour needs sorting further down the track, we come back and fix it at no cost.

Yes, a real person answers the phone day or night, not a recording and not an answering service. If you're dealing with a blocked drain at 2am, you'll get through to someone who can actually book you in, not just take a message.

Yes. Blocked drains don't wait for business hours, so neither do we. Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays are all covered at the same rate as any weekday job, with no extra call-out fee for the timing.

Call (02) 9139 9982 and describe what's going on. We'll find a slot that suits you and confirm it before we hang up, or request a callback online if you'd rather we ring you first.

We offer same-day service across Artarmon, and for a genuine emergency like sewage backing up, we move as fast as we can. The exact time depends on where our nearest plumber is when you call, but getting there quickly is always the goal.

Yes, it's one of the most common causes we see locally. Many of Artarmon's Federation-era homes still run on clay drains, and mature street trees send roots straight into the old joints. Once roots get a foothold, the blockage tends to come back until the section is properly cleared or relined.

Artarmon is our regular run, and we also cover Chatswood, St Leonards, Naremburn, Lane Cove and Willoughby. Wherever you are across that patch, give us a call and we'll let you know how soon we can get there.

Yes. The suburb has plenty of unit blocks alongside its houses, and shared drainage brings its own issues, since one blockage can affect more than one property. Whether you own the place, rent it or manage the building, we'll deal with you directly to get it sorted.

Properly local. Our crews know streets like Burra Road and the shops around Artarmon Park as well as they know the main road through. We also know which streets are first to flood when a summer storm hits the hilly parts of the suburb, which helps when something's gone wrong in a hurry.
