Plumber Leichhardt

Root intrusion, pipe relining and emergency plumbing across Leichhardt, Annandale and Lilyfield.

Leichhardt is Federation and Victorian housing with the mature gardens to match. Big established trees on big established blocks make it one of the worst suburbs in Sydney for root intrusion, and one where relining usually beats digging.

The classic Leichhardt job is a sewer line that has been cleared three times already. Old clay pipe, a mature tree within ten metres, and a blockage that returns every wet season. Clearing it is the cheap answer and it works for a while. Relining the affected section is the expensive answer that ends it. A camera inspection is what tells you honestly which one your pipe needs, and we would rather you spent the money once.

$0 call-out fee — available 24/7, 365 days a year across all Leichhardt suburbs.

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 Leichhardt.

Mature street and garden trees plus original earthenware sewer is the defining plumbing problem in Leichhardt. If your drain blocks on a cycle rather than once, roots are the likely cause and clearing alone will not end it.

Clay pipe a century old does not only crack — sections drop and joints pull apart as the ground moves. A camera shows whether you are looking at a clean-out, a reline, or a dig, and those are very different numbers.

Many Leichhardt bathrooms are still on their first waste and vent arrangement. When renovating, the rough-in usually needs redoing to current standards, and it is better to find that before the tiler is booked than after.

Common Questions

In Leichhardt, usually. Relining avoids excavating a mature garden or a driveway, and a relined section will not let roots back in. Where a pipe has collapsed completely, digging is sometimes the only option — the camera tells us which.

Most residential sections are done in a day. We inspect, jet the line clean, install the liner and re-inspect before we leave.

Relining is done through existing access points, so usually not. If excavation is unavoidable we will show you the camera footage and explain why before you commit.
