In Surry Hills, the first question in an emergency is often whose problem it is. Terraces share sewer lines, converted warehouses mix private and common property, and commercial kitchens sit under apartments. We stop the immediate problem first, then establish where it started.

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.

Rows of terraces frequently drain into one line, so one blockage can back up several houses at once. Clearing it is the emergency. Locating it on camera afterwards settles who is responsible.

In warehouse conversions and small blocks, the split between common property and a private fault is rarely obvious from inside an apartment. Finding the source quickly is what limits the damage and the argument.

Commercial kitchens sit under residential floors across much of the suburb. Grease narrows shared lines well upstream of where it was poured, so a blockage can appear in an apartment that never put anything down the sink.

Common Questions

If the houses on your shared line are affected, the blockage is usually in the shared section, and we can clear it and locate it on camera so it is clear who is responsible. If houses beyond your row are affected too, report it to Sydney Water on 13 20 90.

It depends where the leak starts. A fault in common property is generally the owners corporation's, and a fault in another owner's fixtures is usually theirs. Tell your strata manager straight away, and we will find the source.

Yes. We take emergency calls 24/7, including blocked drains and leaks in restaurants and commercial kitchens.
