Plumber Glebe
Victorian terraces, fig tree roots and low-lying drainage across Glebe, Forest Lodge and Annandale.
Your Local Glebe Plumber
Glebe runs along a ridge following Glebe Point Road, with streets of Victorian terraces falling away towards Blackwattle Bay on one side and Rozelle Bay on the other. Wentworth Park, on its eastern edge, was once Blackwattle Swamp and was filled in during the late 1870s. The suburb is within the City of Sydney.
Glebe's big figs and plane trees are part of its character and part of its plumbing. Their roots travel a long way and find the joints in old earthenware sewer lines under the terraces. The other factor is the fall of the land: streets near the bays and Wentworth Park sit low, and stormwater from the ridge ends up there in a storm.
$0 call-out fee — available 24/7, 365 days a year across all Glebe suburbs.

Common Plumbing Problems in Glebe
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 Glebe.
Fig and plane tree roots
Glebe's large street and park trees have extensive root systems, and old clay sewer joints are an easy source of water for them. Blockages caused by roots come back after clearing, so relining is often the lasting fix.
Low-lying streets near the bays
Properties near Blackwattle Bay and Wentworth Park sit at the bottom of the catchment. Stormwater arrives quickly from the ridge and, if a pit or line is blocked, backs up rather than drains.
Terrace roofs and rear additions
Victorian terraces often have box gutters, internal downpipes and rear additions that tie into the original roof. Blockages or failed joints there send water into ceilings rather than onto the ground.

Common Questions
FAQs
Why does my Glebe terrace keep getting blocked drains?
Most often roots from nearby trees entering the old clay sewer at the joints. A camera inspection confirms it and shows whether relining will stop it.
My courtyard floods in heavy rain. Can that be fixed?
Usually. It is often a blocked grate, a collapsed line or a pit that is too small for the area draining into it. We find the cause before quoting.
Do you work on terraces with no side access?
Yes. We bring equipment through the house with floor protection, or use a rear lane where there is one.
