Plumbing Emergencies in Newtown
Emergencies in Newtown usually come from very old pipework. Most terraces still drain through clay sewer laid before the war, and the street trees have had a century to find the joints. With no side access, every emergency job here comes through the front door, and we plan for that.
Sewage overflowing from a root-blocked line
Roots through old earthenware joints build up until the line blocks completely, and the overflow comes up at the gully outside or the lowest drain in the house. A drain that has blocked before, especially on a seasonal pattern, is the usual warning.
Shared lines backing up next door too
Terraces often share a sewer line with the house next door, so one blockage can back up into two homes at once. We clear it first, then locate the fault on camera so it is clear which side of the boundary it sits on.
No side access
Terraces share walls on both sides, so drain machines and jetter hoses come through the front door and down the hall. It is the normal case in Newtown, done with drop sheets down.

Common Questions
Emergency Plumbing in Newtown
Sewage is coming up in my yard. Is it my blockage or Sydney Water's?
If houses beyond yours and your shared neighbour are affected, it may be the main, so report it to Sydney Water on 13 20 90. If it is only your terrace, or yours and the house you share a line with, it is almost always the private line, which we can clear.
Can you get a drain machine into a terrace in an emergency?
Yes. It comes through the house with drop sheets down. That is how most Newtown jobs are done.
Where do I turn the water off in a terrace?
At the main stop tap, which is usually beside the water meter near the front boundary. Check where yours is now, because it is often hidden by plants or a cover.
