Plumbing Emergencies in Surry Hills
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.



A shared sewer line overflowing
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.
Leaks in converted and strata buildings
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.
Grease blockages from ground-floor kitchens
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
Emergency Plumbing in Surry Hills
Our row of terraces is backing up. Who do we call?
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.
Water is leaking into my apartment. Is it strata's problem?
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.
Do you attend commercial kitchens after hours?
Yes. We take emergency calls 24/7, including blocked drains and leaks in restaurants and commercial kitchens.
