Blocked Drain Plumber Turramurra FAQs

Yes, we look at the job and give you a fixed quote before anything starts, at no charge whether you go ahead or not. If the job turns out bigger once we're into the pipe, we stop and agree a new price with you first.

No, there's a $0 call-out fee on every visit, whether it's an emergency or a booked appointment. You only ever pay for the work itself, agreed with you before we start and never added on afterwards.

It knocks $65 straight off your invoice the first time you book us, whether that's a quick clear or a bigger repair job. It stacks with any other current offer that applies to your job.

No, that's the point of a fixed quote: once we've confirmed the price and you've said go ahead, that's what you pay. The only exception is if something new turns up once we're inside the pipe, and even then we stop and agree it with you before continuing.

Every repair we do is backed by a lifetime labour warranty. If the same section fails because of how it was fixed, we come back and fix it at no cost, with no time limit and no conditions attached.

For a simple kitchen or bathroom clog, a plunger usually does the trick, and hot water down the drain helps shift grease. Once it's a whole-house drain or something outside, that's drainage work, and NSW law means a licensed plumber handles it, not a DIY attempt.

NSW ties drainage work to the AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards, and the law says only a licensed plumber can do it. Our team holds NSW Lic #465156C as licensed plumbers and gas fitters, so the job gets done to code, not just patched together.

Yes, wipes are near the top of the list of what we pull out of a blocked line. Even ones labelled flushable stay intact long after toilet paper would have dissolved, snagging on rough joints and tree roots until a blockage builds up, so put them in the bin, not the bowl.

A real person answers and asks what's going on. We talk through the problem, give you a time window, and get a licensed plumber on the way quickly, with the quote confirmed on site first.

Same-day, in most cases. We're on call 24/7, so whether you ring first thing or late at night, we can usually get a plumber out to a blocked drain quickly.

Sewage backing up inside the home, a gully overflowing outside, or more than one fixture blocked at once are all emergencies. One slow drain can usually hold until a booked visit, but anything backing up or overflowing needs a call straight away.

Call (02) 9199 2575 and we'll lock in a time over the phone, or fill in the callback form if you'd rather we contact you. Either way, you'll know the time and the price before a plumber arrives.

Yes, more than almost anything else we see. The dense tree canopy and the bushland running along the edges of the suburb mean roots regularly find their way into older sewer and stormwater lines, especially where the pipe is original earthenware.

Turramurra is part of our regular round, not a suburb we visit once in a blue moon. Our vans are through here most weeks, servicing the same streets alongside Pymble, Wahroonga, St Ives, Gordon and Killara.

Much of the housing here dates from before 1940 through to the 1980s, and those homes were plumbed with earthenware clay drains. Clay cracks with age and lets roots and soil in, so older properties see far more blockages than a newer PVC-plumbed home.

Turramurra plus Pymble, Wahroonga, St Ives, Gordon and Killara, all within Ku-ring-gai. If you're just outside one of those, give us a call anyway, chances are we can still help.
