Your Local Concord Plumber
Mr. Clog is based in Concord, so this is the suburb we know best. Most of it filled in between the wars, when big estates were cut up and streets such as Finch, Evelyn, Corby and Edith Avenues were laid out down to Canada Bay. The typical house is a solid-brick bungalow with a hip roof, twin front gables and a brick verandah, and houses still dominate: at the 2021 census about seven in ten Concord homes were freestanding houses. The suburb is part of the City of Canada Bay.
A Concord bungalow is now around a century old, and its plumbing usually is too unless someone has already replaced it. That means clay sewer running under the back garden, a water service that may still be galvanised steel, and a bathroom that has been renovated over the top of the original waste pipes. Concord calls itself the Parkland Suburb, and between the reserves, the Parramatta River bays and the established gardens, there is no shortage of trees looking for water. On the low ground, stormwater is the other issue. The City of Canada Bay's Exile Bay catchment flood study, published in 2022, covers the land draining to Exile Bay, including Massey Park and Saltwater Creek. Because we are based here, Concord jobs are close to home for us.

Common Plumbing Problems in Concord
Every part of Sydney has its own plumbing character, shaped by the age of the housing, the ground it sits on, and the weather it takes. Here is what we are called out for most often around Concord.
Interwar clay sewer under the garden
The bungalows built across Concord in the 1920s and 1930s drain through earthenware pipe with a joint every short length. After a century of garden trees growing over them, roots in those joints are the most common reason a Concord sewer backs up. A camera shows whether the pipe is sound enough to reline.
Galvanised water service in an unrenovated home
Many interwar homes were plumbed in galvanised steel, which rusts and narrows from the inside. The usual sign is a shower that gets weaker year by year, or brown water after the taps have sat unused. Replacing the service from the meter fixes the cause rather than the symptom.
New bathrooms on old waste lines
Concord homes have often been extended or had bathrooms added at the back, joined onto drainage laid when the house was built. When a newer bathroom drains slowly or gurgles, the fault is frequently where new pipe meets old, not in the fixture itself.
Hot water that has reached the end
In a suburb of family houses, the hot water unit is often outside, ten or more years old and working for a full household. When it starts leaking from the base, tripping the power or running cold halfway through a shower, it is usually the tank or element failing. We tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it or the unit is due for replacement.
Stormwater on the low ground towards the bays
Streets that fall towards Exile Bay and the river carry stormwater from the higher ground behind them. A blocked pit, a crushed line under a driveway or a downpipe that was never connected will show up as water pooling against the house in heavy rain.

Common Questions
FAQs
Are you actually local to Concord?
Yes. Mr. Clog is based in Concord, and Concord, Cabarita, Mortlake and North Strathfield are the streets closest to home.
Do you do emergency plumbing in Concord after hours?
Yes. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, including weekends and public holidays, and we send a licensed plumber out after hours for problems that can't safely wait, such as a burst pipe, sewage backing up or the only toilet blocked. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Why does the drain at our Concord bungalow keep blocking?
Most often it is tree roots in the joints of the original clay sewer. Clearing them gets it flowing again, but they grow back through the same joints. A camera inspection shows where the roots are getting in and whether relining will stop them.
Can you repair or replace our hot water system?
Yes. We repair and replace electric, gas, solar and heat pump hot water systems. If a repair makes sense we do that; if the unit is at the end of its life we give you a fixed price for a replacement before any work starts.
Can you reline a sewer under a driveway or established garden?
Usually, yes. Relining is done through existing access points, so the driveway and garden stay where they are. If a section has collapsed completely, we will show you the footage and explain why it needs digging.
My bungalow still has its original pipes. Should I replace them before they fail?
Not blindly. A camera inspection of the sewer and a pressure test of the water service show what condition they are actually in, so you only spend money where it is needed.
