 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service. We called John at 4pm on a Thursday with an urgent matter and he came to our place in Padstow within an hour! Checked everything thoroughly, ran few tests and even checked other two issues that we had around the house, fixed one and gave us good advice for what to replace on the other one. He charged us very reasonably for the hour he spent here… we really appreciate his service and genuine help. Will definitely call him should we need a plumber in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I never do reviews but I will this time, I highly recommend John, he was super accomodating given he had to attend the site multiple times due to strata complications. He only charged me the final time and not for the previous two times before he could actually do the work. He is punctual, polite and very respectful. The job was completed quickly, neatly and he tidied up afterwards. Would definitely use him if I had other plumbing jobs. Thanks again John!!

This is actually the second time we’ve called on John for a repair and we specifically requested him again because of the great work he did previously. It’s rare to find a plumber who’s not only skilled but also reliable and easy to work with. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and experienced.

Signs of a Blocked Drain

Slow draining toilets, sinks, showers, baths or laundry tub
A classic early warning sign
Water rising in the shower, floor waste or another future when toilet is flushed
Indicates a sewer main line obstruction or partial obstruction
Toilet bubbling or gurgling when other drains are used or vice versa
Air being sucked into the drainage line due to a partial or complete blockage
Multiple fixtures blocking at once
Means the branch line or main line is affected — not just a single pipe
Strong sewer odours inside or outside
A sign that sewer gases are pushing back due to reduced flow or a blocked line with stagnant water
Gurgling, sucking or “glug glug” noises
Often caused by blocked vents or partially blocked sewer pipes trying to suck air into the line

Water backing up into floor wastes or lower-level bathrooms
This is serious and requires immediate attention. There is a blockage in your line and is coming out from the lowest point in your house, the floor waste
Overflow relief gully (ORG) spilling
Indicates the sewer line is blocked downstream. Don’t be alarmed! The ORG is doing exactly what it is meant to be doing. The sewer is overflowing out from this point, which protects the inside of your house from sewer overflow
Stormwater overflowing even in light rain
A sign of a blocked stormwater line or pit. Typically caused by root growth into the line
Unexplained damp areas, mould or moisture patches
Blocked drainage can force water into soil, walls and subfloors typically through the joints of pipework, broken sections etc
Outdoor inspection openings filling quickly with water
Typically caused by a downstream blockage from the inspection opening. This is generally the best case scenario, if you have an outside inspection opening. This provides us with direct access into your sewer line.

If you see any of the above, do not stress or panic! Give us a call to get your blocked sewer or stormwater line cleared. We have cleared hundreds of drains and there is not much we haven’t seen. Our experienced plumbers will get you out of trouble quickly and clean up any mess left behind!
