Maroubra is part of our regular run, week in, week out, not somewhere we swing through occasionally. These streets and their drains are familiar territory.

Established street trees through the older blocks push roots toward any source of moisture they can find, and brittle clay and earthenware pipework offers an easy entry point. Once a root finds that gap it keeps growing, so a temporary clear tends to be exactly that: temporary.

A hard coastal downpour can push more water than the older stormwater lines around Maroubra Beach and the Junction were built to carry, so low-lying flats back up fastest. Those pipes were laid for a lighter, older weather pattern than what a big storm cell delivers now.

As a rule of thumb, you're responsible for the drainage from your fixtures through to where your property connects to the network. Past that connection point, it becomes Sydney Water's problem. When it's not obvious which side a blockage falls on, we work that out on-site before quoting anything.

Someone from a small, owner-led crew, usually including the plumber who handles most of the drain-and-sewer work specifically. It's not a rotating cast of subcontractors.

The labour on the job we did, indefinitely. Should that same fix fail down the track, we're back out to correct it and it costs you nothing extra.
