Your Local St Marys Plumber
St Marys grew on Mary Putland's Frogmore grant beside South Creek, and its first town lots were sold in 1842. The station opened in 1862 as South Creek and took the name St Marys in 1885; it is now on the State Heritage Register. Tanneries were the early industry, until 1941, when the Commonwealth built a munitions filling factory on 3,500 acres to the north, and the St Marys Industrial Estate grew out of that land after the war. The 33 Duration Cottages built for munitions workers in 1942, laid out by Walter Bunning, are now a heritage conservation area, and in the late 1950s the Housing Commission laid out North St Marys with its tree-named streets. St Marys was its own municipality from 1890 until it joined Penrith in 1949. At the 2021 census about half of all homes were separate houses, three in ten townhouses or semis and almost one in five flats, and just over half were rented.
Water sets the terms here. South Creek forms the western edge of the suburb and Ropes Creek the eastern, and the St Marys Levee holds back South Creek on the low side of town. Penrith City Council has two floodplain risk management plans covering St Marys, both finalised in 2020: one for South Creek, which looked at upgrading the St Marys Levee, and one for the Byrnes Creek catchment between the M4, the railway, the levee and the creek. Under the houses is Western Sydney's shale clay, reactive and naturally saline. And with three in ten homes now townhouses or semis and more units going up near the station, a growing share of the suburb's sewer and stormwater is shared between neighbours.
$0 call-out fee — available 24/7, 365 days a year across St Marys and nearby suburbs.

Common Plumbing Problems in St Marys
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 St Marys.
Wartime and Housing Commission homes on old drainage
The Duration Cottages date from 1942 and much of North St Marys from the late 1950s, so many houses here have sewer lines older than their owners. Roots, open joints and sections that have settled in the clay are the usual cause of a drain that blocks again and again. On a heritage-listed cottage we explain before we start if a repair would touch anything visible.
Stormwater on low ground
Blocks near South Creek and in the Byrnes Creek catchment sit where water collects in a storm. Silted pits, buried grates and downpipes that discharge onto the ground leave water against the house and under floors. We can clear and repair the drainage on your block; the levee and creek works are the council's.
Shared lines in townhouses and units
Half of St Marys homes are townhouses, semis or flats, and most share sewer and stormwater under common property. A blockage that shows up in more than one home is usually in the shared section, and we show the strata manager or landlord where it is.

Common Questions
FAQs
Is St Marys flood-prone?
Parts of it are. Penrith City Council's South Creek and St Marys (Byrnes Creek) floodplain risk management plans, both finalised in 2020, cover the suburb, and the St Marys Levee protects the low side of town. Check the council's flood information for your address. We look after the stormwater on your own block.
Why does my St Marys drain keep blocking?
In an older house it is most often roots in the original sewer, or a joint that has moved in the clay. In townhouses and units it is often wipes or grease in a shared line. A camera inspection tells you which before you pay for a repair.
We rent. Who pays for a blocked drain?
In NSW a blocked or broken toilet system and a burst water service count as urgent repairs, which are generally the landlord's responsibility unless the tenant caused the damage. We work for tenants, landlords and property managers, and we tell you what we found so the bill goes to the right person.
Do you cover North St Marys, Oxley Park and Colyton?
Yes. We cover St Marys and the suburbs around it, including North St Marys, Oxley Park, Colyton, Claremont Meadows, Werrington and Kingswood.
Do you do emergency plumbing in St Marys after hours?
Yes. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 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. There is a $0 call-out fee.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the job. You get a fixed price quoted before we start, and there is a $0 call-out fee.
