Marrickville emergencies follow its ground and its age. Low-lying streets near the Cooks River mean stormwater that copes most of the year can surcharge in a downpour, and the interwar bungalows are on original clay sewer that is now decades past its best.

Repairing a water pipe a demolition crew put through during a bathroom strip-out. Trade damage is one of the more common reasons we get called out mid-job.

A concealed leak found in a Sydney office. By the time it shows on the floor it has usually been running for weeks.

Flat, low ground gives water nowhere to go once a line is full. Water pooling near the house or a downpipe backing up in heavy rain usually means the stormwater line is blocked, undersized or has lost its fall.

They are separate systems, and the emergency is different. A flooding yard with toilets that still flush is stormwater. Sewage at the gully or slow drains inside is the sewer, and that needs clearing promptly.

Interwar homes on their first earthenware line, with established street trees above, block on a seasonal cycle until the affected section is relined.

Common Questions

That points to the stormwater rather than the sewer. They are separate systems, and a stormwater blockage does not affect your toilets or sinks.

If neighbours are affected too, it may be the sewer main, so report it to Sydney Water on 13 20 90. If it is only your property, it is almost always your own line, which we can clear.

Yes. We take emergency calls 24/7, including nights, weekends and public holidays, with no call-out fee.
