A real person answers, day or night
When an old drain finally gives out, patching over it is not a repair
A drain that has cracked, dropped or collapsed needs the failed length rebuilt, not another temporary clear, so call (02) 9072 0592 and talk it through with a qualified plumber who will say honestly which of the two your line actually needs.
Why the oldest drains here reach the end of the line
The residential streets running back off Hudson Street toward Woodville Park were subdivided and built out before 1940, and the drainage under them shows its age plainly.
- Earthenware laid in short lengths The sewer and stormwater lines beneath these Federation and interwar cottages are jointed clay, solid when first laid but brittle after eighty-odd years underground.
- Ground that never sits still Shale over reactive clay swells through the wet and shrinks through the drought, and the undulating fall across this pocket flexes every rigid pipe bedded in it until the joints draw apart.
What our repair and installation work covers
Repair and installation is the heavier end of our drainage work, the jobs a clear alone cannot settle, and each one rebuilds the line to last rather than buying it a few more months:
Collapsed sections renewed
Where a clay line has caved in and lost its fall, we excavate just the failed length, bed fresh PVC at the proper grade, and rejoin it to sound pipe either side so the wastewater drains freely away once again.
New drainage runs
Adding a bathroom, a granny flat or a new laundry to a period home means fresh drainage, which we design to the right fall, connect to the existing system, and commission so the addition drains as reliably as the house.
Sunken grade corrected
Bellied drains that pond water and trap debris where the pipe has sagged get dug out and re-laid to a continuous fall, so the line self-scours with every flush rather than ponding, silting up and slowly choking itself shut again.
Yard and surface drains
Failed gully traps, broken yard grates and crumbling agricultural lines around the garden get replaced with modern fittings set at the correct level, keeping surface water and waste moving away from footings rather than pooling against the house slab itself.
Where new work meets the old street main
A rebuilt bathroom or a brand-new apartment still has to discharge into whatever drain the street was given decades ago, and that junction is where a lot of repair work actually starts.
- New pipe, old connection A renovation can lay perfect drainage inside the boundary and still back up, because the point of failure is the ageing council-side line it feeds into.
- Knockdown rebuilds A fresh house on an old block inherits the original boundary connection, so we camera and, where needed, renew that junction before it quietly undoes the new plumbing above it.
Common repair problems we fix
Two failures bring us out to rebuild rather than simply clear a drain:
Recurring collapse points
A drain that blocks in the same spot every few months is rarely just dirty, and the camera usually finds a cracked or offset joint that only a proper repair, not another clear, will finally settle for good.
Wet patches and odour
Ground that stays soggy in dry weather or gives off a drain smell points to wastewater escaping a fractured pipe underground, and pinpointing then rebuilding that broken length stops both the seepage and the slow undermining of the soil.
Why a drain repair should not wait
A failing drain rarely stays a drainage problem for long, and putting a repair off usually means paying for the damage it causes as well as the pipe itself once the ground finally gives:
- Undermined foundations Wastewater leaking from a broken drain washes fines out of the soil around it, and on reactive clay that means movement under paths, slabs and footings. A pipe repaired early costs far less than the cracking it can otherwise cause above ground.
- A small fault becomes a dig A hairline crack that a point repair would settle today becomes a collapsed, root-filled section next winter. The longer a fault runs, the more pipe it takes down with it and the bigger the eventual excavation.
- Nothing above works properly Every fixture in the house drains through that one failing line, so a bathroom renovation or a new kitchen sits on borrowed time until the drain beneath it is put right first.
How it works
Our drainage repair process, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Rebuild and recommission
Once the price is agreed, we open only where the camera marked the fault, cut out the collapsed section, bed in new graded pipe or reline the run, then flush and re-camera the line to confirm it drains true.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Hurstville
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Hurstville works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
Beyond the repairs we take on across the suburb, our excavation and drain-renewal crews run out through Penshurst, Mortdale, Allawah, Kogarah and Beverly Hills, carrying the pipe, fittings and camera gear to rebuild a failed line in a single visit wherever possible.

Good questions, straight answers
Drainage repair questions from Hurstville locals
Do you have to dig up my yard to repair a drain?
Not always, because where the pipe keeps its round shape we reline it from inside, and where we do dig, we open only the failed length the camera has pinpointed.
How do you know which section of drain has actually failed?
A self-levelling camera runs the full line first and shows the crack, collapse or belly on screen with its exact depth, so the repair lands on the fault rather than a guess.
Can an old clay drain be repaired, or must it all be replaced?
Often just the failed length needs work, since sound clay either side of one broken joint can stay in the ground while we renew only the section that has gone.
What does a drain repair cost?
The fault and its depth set the figure, so the camera visit and the quote itself come to $0 and one fixed price is agreed before any excavation begins.
Will a new drain connection meet council requirements?
Yes, every renewal is laid to the correct grade in compliant materials and connected properly at the boundary, and the paperwork confirming it arrives with your invoice rather than on request.
How long does a drain repair take?
Most point repairs and relines finish inside a single visit, while a full excavation and re-lay of a collapsed run can stretch toward a day depending on depth and access.
