Sewage Rising? That Is an Emergency We Answer
Sewage surfacing inside the house is a health problem, not a Monday problem. Call (02) 9072 0710 now.
A real person answers the phone, day or night. You'll speak to a licensed plumber, and we tell you what we're doing before we do it.
Before we get there: stop running taps and stop flushing. Anything that has surfaced is a no-go zone for kids and pets, and the grates and drain chemicals are best left alone.
What we do
Every Drain Problem Maroubra Calls About, Covered by Our Services
Six services, one local team. Whatever your drain is doing, it lands in one of these.
Blocked Drain Repair
When clearing isn't enough, we fix the pipe itself. Cracked and collapsed lines get repaired or relined without digging the yard up. See blocked drain repair.
Learn more
Blocked Stormwater
Downpipes, surface grates and stormwater lines that back up when it pours. We find out why the line filled instead of just draining the puddle. See blocked stormwater.
Learn more
Blocked Sewer
The messy one, and the one we treat as urgent. We clear it, camera it, and tell you exactly whose pipe it was. See blocked sewer.
Learn more
Blocked Toilets
Rising bowls, slow flushes and the gurgle that comes just before an overflow. We check the line past the pan so it doesn't repeat. See blocked toilets.
Learn more
CCTV Drain Inspection
Around Hereward Street we camera plenty of pre-purchase drains, because brittle sewer lines are worth knowing about before you sign. See CCTV drain inspection.
Learn more
Drain Cleaning
Hydro-jetting strips the inside of the pipe back to full bore. Grease, sludge, roots, sand. See drain cleaning.

Six Signs a Maroubra Drain Is in Trouble
Drains rarely block without warning. Here's what the early signs mean, and who handles them.
| The symptom | The likely cause | Your next move |
|---|---|---|
| Sink or shower drains slowly | Grease and soap narrowing the pipe wall | Book drain cleaning before it closes over |
| Toilet gurgles while a tap runs | Air pushed past a partial blockage downstream | Call us, it's usually the main line |
| Bad smells from a floor waste | A dry trap, or sewage sitting in a damaged line | Get a CCTV drain inspection |
| Water pooling at the outside gully | The line past the gully is blocked or surcharging | Call before rain, not after |
| Toilet water rises then falls oddly | The sewer is partly blocked, not the pan | Treat as urgent, call (02) 9072 0710 |
| Damp patch on the lawn that won't dry | A cracked or leaking pipe under it | Book blocked drain repair |
One sign is worth a phone call. Two together usually means the main line, not the fixture.
Why Neighbours in Maroubra Choose a Local Team
This is a suburb of family homes where people stay, and a lot of our work comes from the same streets twice over. Owners and renters both call us, and the pitch doesn't change either way.
The Price Is Agreed Before Anything Starts
The price we quote is the price you pay. That holds whether the job runs long or the access turns out to be awkward.
Decades of Drains Between Us
Our plumbers hold 35+ years combined experience between them. That's the difference between reading a camera screen correctly and guessing at a shadow.
A Licence Number You Can Check
We hold NSW plumbing licence #275278C. It's on the van and on the paperwork, so look it up before we start if you want to.
We're Already Nearby
Being local is what makes 30 minutes a promise rather than a slogan. We're on these streets most weeks anyway.
How we work
How We Clear a Drain Properly
Four steps, same order, every job. No stage happens before you've agreed to it.
- 01
You Call, We Quote
Someone picks up and hears what's going on. We come out, have a look, and tell you the cost before anything begins.
- 02
The Camera Goes Down First
We find the blockage and see what caused it. Guessing spends your money on the wrong fix.
- 03
We Clear It With the Right Tool
Jetter for grease, sludge and sand. Electric eel where the pipe suits it better. The tool matches the blockage, not whatever's on the van.
- 04
We Prove It's Clear
We put the camera back through and you watch the flow yourself. Lifetime labour warranty on every drain we clear.
Local knowledge
What Causes the Blockages We Clear in Maroubra
Maroubra was subdivided early, and the sewer lines under those first blocks were laid in earthenware. That material is the single biggest reason we're called back to the same addresses.
Earthenware is brittle and it's jointed every metre or so. Ninety-odd years of ground movement later, those joints open up.
What that actually causes. A hairline crack does two things. It lets roots find the water inside, and it catches everything that should have flowed past.
Around Hereward Street and Mons Avenue, that's the pattern we see most: original lines under Federation-era cottages, still doing their job, but cracked at the joints.
Then there's the Junction. The walk-up flats around Maroubra Junction went up decades after the houses did, so their lines are younger, but they're carrying far more units than they were sized for.
Grease is the difference there. Six kitchens on one stack put more fat through a line than one kitchen ever will, and it builds on the pipe wall until the bore closes.
Why it repeats. Clearing a blockage in a cracked line buys you months, not years. So we camera first, then talk to you about blocked drain repair or relining when the pipe itself is the problem.
Newer places aren't immune either. Where a modern PVC run ties into an old earthenware line, that junction is where things snag.
Straight pricing
What a Blocked Drain Quote Depends On
No two drain jobs price the same, so here's what actually moves a quote. You get the price before we start, either way.
- Access. A yard we can walk a jetter into is quicker than a line buried under a slab or a paved courtyard.
- Depth. A blockage sitting a metre past the gully is a different job to one out near the boundary shaft.
- What's in there. Grease clears differently to roots, and roots mean we're also hunting their way in.
- Whether the pipe survived. A clear line and a collapsed line are two different conversations. The camera settles it.
- Whether relining suits the job. Relining costs more today than digging, and less than a second repair in two years.

Common questions
Blocked Drains Maroubra FAQs
Six things people ask us before they book. Anything we've missed, put it straight to us on the phone.
Is there a drain plumber near Maroubra open on weekends?
Yes. Weekends and public holidays included, at the same rates as a Tuesday morning. Call (02) 9072 0710 whenever the drain goes.
How quickly can you get to a blocked drain in Maroubra?
Thirty minutes, guaranteed. Maroubra is home turf, so there's usually a van working nearby rather than one setting off from the far side of Sydney.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Maroubra?
No. $0 call-out fee, and the quote is free. The price we quote is the price you pay, so the invoice matches the price you approved.
Can you clear tree roots out of a drain?
Yes, the jetter cuts them out. Then the camera goes down to find the crack that let them in, because roots never breach a sound pipe. Fix the entry point and the roots stop coming back.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes to both. We hold NSW plumbing licence #275278C, Master Plumber accreditation and $20 million public liability cover. Ask to see any of it on the day.
Will the blockage just come back?
Not if the cause gets fixed rather than punched through. Around Fitzgerald Avenue, a cracked earthenware joint will re-block within months unless it is relined or repaired properly.
