Honest second opinions save you money
Told your pipe has collapsed?
Some customers call us after another plumber has told them their pipe has collapsed, is in critical condition, or can’t be fixed without a big dig.
We put our own camera down the line and show you the footage. More than once, the pipe wasn’t collapsed at all, and a much smaller job fixed the problem. We’d rather tell you the truth and keep you as a customer for life.
★★★★★
“A previous plumber had told us that the blockage could not be resolved and had quoted an exorbitant amount for the proposed work. Alex was able to successfully diagnose and clear the blocked sewer himself, resolving the problem when we had been told it couldn’t be done. Alex potentially saved us $15,000–$20,000, with a great outcome with Sydney Water.”

“I had a blocked drain in Epping and called a few plumbers. Some quoted me $1600… He came out, unblocked it, and was about $1000 cheaper than what I was quoted for an emergency call out… This guy won’t rip you off, his reviews are genuine.”
