The North Shore runs from the harbour up through the Lower North Shore to the Ku-ring-gai end of the Pacific Highway, and the plumbing changes as you go. Closer to the water you find Federation and interwar housing with its original drainage. Further north the blocks get larger, the gardens older and the sewer runs longer. Through the middle, around the business and university precincts, apartment buildings have changed the picture again.
Working across the North Shore
What is common to all of it is age. Most of the North Shore was drained in clay, and most of that clay is now old enough that tree roots have found the joints. It is why so much of our work here starts with a camera rather than a shovel: we would rather know what is actually wrong before anyone digs up a driveway or a garden that took thirty years to grow.
The second constant is trees. The canopy is the reason people live on the North Shore and the reason their drains block. Relining is often the right answer, because it restores the pipe without taking out the tree or the landscaping above it.
For apartments and strata buildings the work is as much about communication as plumbing. Shared stacks, access arrangements and clear written reporting all matter, and we are set up for that.
Suburbs we cover
We work across Lane Cove, Pymble, St Ives, Ryde and the surrounding North Shore suburbs. If you are not sure whether we reach your street, call and ask — we would rather tell you straight away than have you wait.
Emergency plumbing is available 24 hours.
