Common questions

Money, Quotes and the $65 Off

What does "from $89" actually include?

"From $89" covers a straightforward blocked drain, no roots, no collapse, cleared with a standard rod or jet. Once we've had a look, we lock in a fixed price before doing anything else, and if the job turns out bigger, say a line needs relining, we quote that separately so you decide before we start.

Is the quote really free?

Yes, completely free and with no obligation to book. We look at the problem and tell you what it will cost before you decide anything, and you only pay if you go ahead with the job.

What discounts do you offer?

New customers get $65 off their first service. Stack that with a complimentary CCTV inspection when you book any jet blast, a free plumbing inspection once a job passes $200, a free premium garden tap after any paid job, and a 20% discount for seniors.

How does your upfront fixed pricing work?

We look at the job, then agree a price with you before any work starts, not an estimate that shifts halfway through. There's no call-out fee either, so getting to that number costs you nothing.

Common questions

The Legal Stuff, Made Simple

Do wipes really block drains?

Yes, even ones marked "flushable", since they don't break down like toilet paper and snag on rough spots inside the pipe until the drain backs up. Bin them instead and you'll cut your blockage risk a lot.

Can I clear a blocked drain myself?

For a simple sink or toilet clog, a plunger or some hot water down the drain is often enough. Anything more stubborn, like a blockage that keeps returning or won't shift at all, counts as drainage work, and NSW law requires a licensed plumber for that.

What is your lifetime labour warranty?

If the labour on a job we've done ever needs attention again, we'll be back to sort it ourselves, and you won't see a bill for it. That covers the work for as long as it's in place, no catches attached.

What standards does drainage work follow?

In NSW, drainage work is generally carried out to the AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standard. In plain terms, that means pipes are sized, sloped and connected properly so waste and stormwater actually move the way they're meant to.

Common questions

Response Times and Booking

Do you work weekends and public holidays?

We're on call every day of the year, including weekends and public holidays, since a blocked drain doesn't wait for business hours.

What happens after I call?

Someone answers straight away and asks a few quick questions about what's going on. We give you a rough timeframe, lock in a slot, often the same day, and confirm the price once we arrive on site.

How fast can you get here?

We offer same-day service across Cherrybrook, and for genuine emergencies we move faster again. Call (02) 9139 9982 and we'll give you a realistic time straight away rather than a vague "sometime today".

What counts as a drain emergency?

Sewage backing up into the house, a gully overflowing onto the lawn, or several fixtures blocked together all count as emergencies. Any of those need action straight away rather than hoping the problem sorts itself out.

Common questions

Local to Cherrybrook

Can you handle new builds and renovations here?

Yes. Whether it's a newer build or an older home being extended, we plumb and check the drainage to the same standard either time, and we're used to working alongside builders and other trades on site.

How local are you, really?

We're regulars around Thomas Thompson Park and the streets nearby, not a name that just showed up online. It's the kind of familiarity you get from working the same patch week after week.

Do tree roots cause many blockages around Cherrybrook?

Cherrybrook backs onto bushland reserves like Berowra Valley, so tree roots from established trees on the older 1980s blocks are a real driver of blockages here. Root pressure has cracked or partly collapsed some of those ageing pipe sections long before anyone notices.

Do you handle strata and units?

Cherrybrook is mostly stand-alone houses on larger blocks, but there are townhouse and unit pockets too, and we service those the same way, working alongside a strata manager or owner where needed.
