Drain Repairs & New Drains Across the North Shore and Northern Beaches
A blocked drain can be cleared. A broken one has to be fixed. When a pipe has cracked, collapsed, sagged or been pulled apart by tree roots, jetting only buys time and the blockages keep coming back. Reit Plumbing repairs and replaces damaged sewer and stormwater drains, and lays new drains for renovations, extensions and new fixtures.
Find the Fault First
Every drain repair starts with a diagnosis. We run a CCTV camera through the line to see exactly where the damage is, how long the affected section is and what caused it. That tells us whether the pipe can be cleared or relined from the inside, or whether the section has to be dug up and replaced. You see the footage and hear the options before any work starts.
Excavation and Replacement, Done Properly
Where a section is beyond relining, we excavate only what the repair needs, cut out the damaged pipe and replace it with new PVC, joined to the existing line with the right fittings. Where it makes sense, we add inspection openings at ground level so the line can be checked and cleared in future without digging again. Trenches are backfilled and the area is left tidy.
New Drains for Renovations and Extensions
Moving a bathroom, adding a laundry or extending the house usually means new drainage. We set out, lay and connect new sewer and stormwater lines at the correct grade, so they carry waste away cleanly and tie into the existing system. Every job is carried out under our NSW contractor licence 500258C, which you can check on the NSW Government licence register.
Your Pipes or Sydney Water’s?
Property owners are responsible for the private drains on their land, up to the point where they connect to Sydney Water’s network, and that connection point can sit outside the boundary. Sydney Water looks after the mains. Sydney Water explains who is responsible for what, and a CCTV inspection shows which side of the connection the fault is on. If the damage is in their network, we will tell you.
