Our guarantee: 12 months on our workmanship, in writing. What it covers
Drummoyne is a peninsula, with the Parramatta River around three sides, Iron Cove on one flank and Five Dock Bay on the other. It is the administrative centre of the City of Canada Bay. The Drummoyne Park Estate was subdivided in the early 1880s and built up with Victorian Italianate houses and then Federation homes, and over recent decades many waterfront houses have made way for apartments and townhouses. Mr. Clog is based in nearby Concord.
Plumbing in Drummoyne splits roughly by street. Along the water, much of the work is in apartment buildings and townhouse complexes, where a leak or a blocked stack affects more than one owner. Inland, the older houses have the problems of their age: clay sewer, original water services, and bathrooms added long after the house was built. The fall of the land down to the river matters too. Stormwater runs downhill fast, and a blocked line on a sloping block overflows rather than draining slowly. Canada Bay Council describes flooding in the area as mainly overland, caused by heavy rain, with high tides and storm surges able to add to it, which counts for more on a peninsula with water on three sides. Drummoyne's water supply has its own history: the steel reservoir on Rawson Avenue, built between 1910 and 1913 by the Metropolitan Board of Water Supply and Sewerage, is now on the State Heritage Register.

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 Drummoyne.
In the apartment blocks along the water, a failed shower seal, flexible hose or waste pipe shows up in the ceiling of the unit below. Finding the source quickly limits the damage and settles whether it is a private repair or a strata matter.
The land falls towards the river on most sides of the peninsula. When a stormwater line or pit on a sloping block is blocked, heavy rain goes over the top and towards the house or the neighbour below.
The older houses inland still often run their first sewer line. Roots at the clay joints and sections that have dropped are the usual causes of a blockage that keeps coming back.
A number of Drummoyne's walk-up blocks date from the 1960s and early 1970s, and many still have the stacks and water pipes they were built with. Faults in pipe that age tend to come in a run: one repair, then another a few months later in a different unit. When that starts, a camera survey of the stacks gives the owners corporation a picture of the whole building rather than one leak at a time.
Low-lying yards near the water drain to bays and outlets that the tide reaches. When a storm coincides with a high tide, the water has further to back up before it gets away, and any pit or line on your property that is already partly blocked shows it first.
From the Job Sheet
Boiling Water Tap Installation ·
The problem
Two kitchen sink tap upgrades, one in Abbotsford and one in Drummoyne.
What we did
In both kitchens we installed a Zip 3-way filtered mixer tap: hot and cold water plus filtered drinking water from the one tap, with the Zip MicroPurity filter mounted under the sink.
The problem
A new laundry in Drummoyne.
What we did
We did the plumbing for the new laundry: the rough-in, then the fit-off once the cabinetry and benchtop were in, including the sink, mixer tap and washing machine connections.
Washing Machine & Laundry Tub Installation ·
The problem
A new washing machine for a Drummoyne laundry.
What we did
We removed the old washing machine and installed the new one, connected to the water and waste. We then refitted the customer's existing dryer, stacked on top of the new washing machine.

Common Questions
Tell your neighbour and your strata manager straight away, and turn off the water to the affected fixture if you can. We find where the leak starts and document it, so repairs and responsibility can be sorted out.
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, water coming through a ceiling or sewage backing up. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Yes. Mr. Clog is based in Concord, just along the river, and we cover Drummoyne, Five Dock, Russell Lea, Abbotsford, Rodd Point and Chiswick.
Not necessarily all at once. In older flat blocks a camera survey of the stacks and a check of the water pipes shows which sections are failing, so the owners corporation can fix those first and plan the rest.
Often. On Drummoyne's sloping blocks it is usually a blocked grate or pit, a cracked line, or not enough fall to get water away. We check the stormwater on your property and fix the cause. Flooding of the streets is a matter for Canada Bay Council.
Yes. Part of the Drummoyne shopping centre is a heritage conservation area, and we favour repairs such as relining that do not disturb period features.
