Why do Sydney drains block so often?

Many older Sydney suburbs still have clay sewer pipes, and tree roots find their way into the joints. A plumber can camera the line to find the cause.

Do I need a licensed plumber for small jobs?

In NSW almost all plumbing and gas work must be done by a licensed plumber. Ask for the licence number before work starts.

What should I do while I wait for a plumber?

For a burst pipe, turn the water off at the meter. For a gas smell, turn off the gas at the meter and call the gas emergency line.
