Your Local Five Dock Plumber
Five Dock is in the City of Canada Bay, the same council area as our base in Concord, so it is one of the suburbs closest to home for us. Great North Road runs through the middle of it, with the shops and cafés of the town centre along it and older houses on the streets either side. Newer apartment buildings have gone up near the town centre over the years, so a Five Dock job can as easily be in a unit block as in a house that has stood for generations.
Most Five Dock plumbing comes back to the age of the streets behind Great North Road. Established houses in suburbs like this typically drain through clay sewer pipe laid when they were built, with a joint every short length, and the gardens and street trees above them have had decades to find those joints. Many of these homes have also been extended or had bathrooms renovated, so newer pipework often meets the original drainage somewhere under the back of the house. In the apartment buildings the questions are different: a leak that shows up in the unit below, or a blocked shared line that affects more than one home, and working out whose responsibility it is.
$0 call-out fee — available 24/7, 365 days a year across Five Dock and nearby suburbs.

Common Plumbing Problems in Five Dock
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 Five Dock.
Roots in older clay sewer pipe
Older homes in established suburbs like Five Dock usually still have clay sewer pipe under the garden. Its joints loosen with age, and roots looking for water get in through the gaps. A drain that blocks, gets cleared and blocks again a few months later is the usual sign. A camera shows where the roots are getting in and whether the pipe is sound enough to reline.
New bathrooms on old drainage
Plenty of Five Dock houses have been extended or had a bathroom added or renovated, connected to drainage that was laid when the house was built. When a newer bathroom drains slowly or gurgles, the fault is often where the new pipe joins the old, not in the fixture itself.
Leaks and shared lines in apartment buildings
In a unit block, a failed shower seal or a leaking waste pipe usually shows up in the ceiling of the unit below, and a blocked shared line can affect several homes at once. Finding exactly where the problem starts is what tells the owner, tenant and strata manager who needs to fix it.
Ageing hot water systems
A hot water system that is running out sooner, leaking at the base or making noise is often near the end of its life. We repair what is worth repairing and replace what is not, with gas and electric systems both covered.

FAQs
Are you local to Five Dock?
Yes. Mr. Clog is based in Concord, which is in the same council area, the City of Canada Bay, and we cover Five Dock, Russell Lea, Drummoyne, Abbotsford, Wareemba and Canada Bay.

Yes. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and for emergencies we aim to be with you within 60 minutes. We give you an ETA when you call, and there is a $0 call-out fee.
Why does the drain at our Five Dock house keep blocking?
In an older house it is most often tree roots in the joints of the original clay sewer. Clearing them gets the drain flowing, but roots grow back through the same joints. A camera inspection shows where they are getting in and what will stop them.
