Overflowing Drain? A Real Person Answers, Day or Night
A drain backing up doesn't keep office hours, and neither do we. Call (02) 9023 2062 any hour and you'll reach a real person, not an answering machine.
We'll have a licensed plumber heading your way fast, day or night, 365 days a year.
Until we get there, turn off any taps and leave the toilet unflushed. Keep kids and pets back from the overflow and lift nothing off the drain.
What we do
Our Blocked Drain Services in Cromer
One local team handles every drain problem a Northern Beaches home throws at us, big or small, inside the house or out in the yard. Here's the full spread.
Blocked Drain Repair
When a drain keeps blocking, the pipe itself is usually to blame. Cracked and collapsed sections get repaired or relined using no-dig trenchless methods, so your yard stays intact. See blocked drain repair.
Learn more
Blocked Stormwater
Sitting above the Narrabeen Lagoon catchment, a choked stormwater pit shows up fast once heavy rain arrives. We clear silt, leaf litter and root-bound lines before the water backs up toward the house. See blocked stormwater.
Learn more
Blocked Sewer
A sewer blockage is the one that surfaces inside the house, and it needs sorting straight away. We pinpoint it, clear it, and prove the fix on camera before we leave. See blocked sewer.
Learn more
Blocked Toilets
A toilet that keeps clogging or gurgles when the shower's running points to trouble further down the system. We find the real cause instead of plunging and hoping for the best. See blocked toilets.
Learn more
CCTV Drain Inspection
Our camera goes down the line to show exactly what's wrong and where, so nobody digs blind. You watch the footage with us. See CCTV drain inspection.
Learn more
Drain Cleaning
For a full clean-out, a high-pressure water jetter scours grease, sludge and roots off the pipe walls. It's what suits the older lines around the Truman Avenue shops. See drain cleaning.

Catch it early
Signs You Have a Blocked Drain
Most blocked drains warn you before they overflow. Spot it early and it's a quick clear rather than a flooded floor. Watch for these.
- Slow-draining sinks and showers are the earliest warning, and a drain cleaning job now beats a full stoppage later.
- Gurgling toilets and floor wastes mean air is trapped behind a blockage somewhere in the main line. A CCTV drain inspection pinpoints it fast.
- Bad smells or sewage odours around the house point to waste sitting in a struggling sewer line.
- Water pooling at the outdoor gully whenever you run a tap inside means the pipe underneath can't keep up.
- Toilet water rising or dropping on its own signals the real blockage is further down the system, not in the bowl.
- Damp or soggy patches on the lawn often mark a cracked pipe leaking underground, usually where a root has forced its way in.
Local knowledge
What Causes Blocked Drains in Cromer
The suburb sits on a sandstone ridge that grades down toward Narrabeen Lagoon, so how a drain behaves depends a lot on where your block falls on that slope. Streets like Carcoola Road and Carawa Road run downhill, and a pipe that was never graded quite right shows up sooner or later.
On the downhill runs, silt and debris settle wherever the fall eases off, and a heavy downpour is usually what pushes a slow-building blockage into a full stop.
Age does the rest of the damage. The bulk of this suburb went up between the late 1940s and the 1970s, when earthenware was simply the standard drainage material used across every build.
Earthenware cracks at the joints as it ages, and cracked joints are exactly what tree roots are looking for. Established gardens on the older blocks send roots straight into any opening they find in the clay and earthenware runs underneath.
Once roots are through a joint, the blockage keeps coming back until the pipe itself is fixed. That's why we camera every job and talk through a repair or reline when we find a root-damaged line, rather than clearing it and leaving you to call again next season.
How we work
How We Work: Camera First, Clear Second, Proof Last
No guesswork and no surprises. Here's exactly how a job runs from the moment you call.
- 01
A Real Person, and a Set Price
Call and someone real picks up, takes the details and gets a plumber moving. You sign off the price before a spanner comes out, so there's nothing ticking over while we work.
- 02
Camera Down First
A camera goes down the pipe before any tool does, so we know exactly what we're dealing with and where it sits. Finding the real cause beats clearing blind and hoping it holds.
- 03
Cleared With the Right Tool
Then we clear it with the tool that suits the job, a high-pressure water jetter for grease and roots, or an electric eel for a solid blockage. The pipe gets scoured clean, not just poked through.
- 04
Proven Clear on Camera
We camera the line again so you can watch it running clear. If the pipe itself is the problem, we talk you through repair versus reline, and every job we finish carries our lifetime labour warranty.

What It Costs to Clear a Blocked Drain in Cromer
Every blocked drain is a bit different, so we quote yours on-site after we've seen it, never a guess over the phone. What stays the same is how the pricing works.
- $0 call-out fee just to come out and look.
- A free, no-obligation quote once we've assessed the drain.
- A fixed price you approve before we start, and it doesn't move after.
- $50 off when you book online, straight off the job.
- 10% seniors discount for older homeowners.
A handful of things change what a job costs: access to the drain, how far down the blockage sits, whether roots or a collapsed section are involved, and whether relining makes more sense than a dig. You'll know all of it before we start work.
The price we quote is the price you pay. No exceptions.

Common questions
FAQs from Cromer Homeowners
The questions local callers raise most often, answered plainly below. Still stuck on something? Call (02) 9023 2062 any time.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
Shut off the taps and hold off flushing, because extra water just pushes the overflow further into the house. Move anything valuable clear of the area and leave the drain itself alone until we arrive.
Why do older Cromer homes get recurring blocked drains?
A lot of the post-war homes here were laid with earthenware drains that crack with age. Roots from mature street trees and the Dee Why West bushland find those cracked joints and grow back, so the blockage returns unless the pipe is repaired or relined.
What suburbs do you service around Cromer?
We cover Dee Why, Narraweena, Collaroy, Narrabeen and Beacon Hill, plus the wider Northern Beaches. Whether you're near Fisher Road North or further along the ridge, we're on your street most weeks.
How quickly can you get to a blocked drain in Cromer?
Fast, day or night. Give us your address, off South Creek Road or anywhere else in the suburb, and the nearest van is moving straight away, with your plumber's arrival time guaranteed on the call.
How do you clear a blocked drain?
We run a CCTV camera down first to find the exact blockage, then clear it with the right tool for the job, usually a high-pressure water jetter or an electric eel. Then we camera it again so you can see it running clear.
Can you clear tree roots out of a drain?
Yes. We cut roots out with a jetter or cutting head, then camera the line to find where they got in. On the older clay and earthenware pipes around here we'll show you the entry point and talk through a relining fix so they can't come back.
