$0 call-out fee — any hour, any day · Available 24/7

Many Paddington emergencies start on the roof. Victorian terraces hide narrow box gutters behind their parapets, and when one blocks in heavy rain the water has nowhere to go but into the ceiling. Below ground, the drainage is often original nineteenth-century earthenware, and on the steep streets off Oxford Street the water moves fast.

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.

A box gutter blocked with leaves, or a failed outlet, overflows inside the house rather than outside. Water in the upstairs front room or along the party wall during heavy rain usually points here first.

Many terraces still drain through original earthenware under the back courtyard, with later additions joined on. When that line cracks or blocks, sewage comes up at the lowest point, often a courtyard drain or the ground-floor bathroom.

Bathrooms added upstairs later often run their waste through tight floor spaces with little fall. When one overflows, it is worth knowing whether it is a blockage or a design limit before the ceiling below takes the water.

Common Questions

Keep clear of any wet light fittings and turn off the power to that area if you can do it safely. Put buckets down and call us. In a Paddington terrace, a blocked box gutter is the most likely cause, and clearing it is usually the first thing we do.

If your terrace backs onto a lane, usually yes. Otherwise we come through the front with drop sheets down.

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