Friendly Plumbers in Sydney

A serious sewer problem at Stevie English Hair had the potential to interrupt the salon’s day-to-day work.

The Friendly Plumbing team found that the sewer had collapsed or partially collapsed and used pipe relining to repair the damaged pipe.

Clear explanations were an important part of Stevie’s experience because, as he said, he knows hair rather than plumbing.

“Your whole team was so friendly, so knowledgeable… they were super honest.”

The sewer was repaired so the salon could keep operating. If the damaged pipe had been left, it could have increased the risk of another blockage or wastewater backing up through the drains.

Sydney Roosters fan James connected with Friendly Plumbing through the ROOSTERS20 offer for Forever Roosters Day.

When James later had a problem with his sink, he called the Friendly team. The team spoke with him about what he wanted and explained the pros and cons of his options before Max visited his Sydney home.

James was pleased with Max’s skill and the care he took while working inside the property.

“They sent a guy out, Max, who was fantastic. Very efficient, very skilled at what he did, left the place spotlessly clean.”

Wil needed help with a sewer issue at his Redfern property that turned out to be bigger than he first expected.

The Friendly Plumbing team attended, worked through the problem and got the issue cleared. Jake Friend later returned to hear how Wil found the experience.

“Friendly, professional, and hardworking.”

If Wil’s sewer problem had been left unresolved, wastewater could have backed up through the drains and caused an overflow around or inside the property.

A repeat Friendly Plumbing customer had a 10-year-old hot water system with severe rust building up inside the tank. Max from Friendly Plumbing found that an internal part designed to help stop rust had worn down, so the system needed to be replaced.

Our team removed the old unit and installed a new hot water system, safety tray, valves and copper pipework. The new system was tested and hot water was running correctly at the kitchen tap.

If the rusted tank had been left in place, it could have split and flooded the apartment.

A blocked sewer beneath the driveway at this Sydney apartment building needed to be cleared and checked. After the loose waste and debris were cleared with high-pressure water, Tom from Friendly Plumbing used a CCTV camera to inspect the pipe and found several damaged sections further down the sewer.

Tom and the team then used pipe relining to create a new smooth surface inside the damaged section without digging up the driveway.

If the pipe had been left to get worse, repeat blockages could have continued and the driveway may eventually have needed to be dug up to replace the sewer.

A blocked drain at a Sydney property was stopping water from moving through the line properly.

The drain sat beside the property in a narrow side passage, so our team kept the larger equipment outside and took the hose through to the drain.

We opened the drain, fed the hose into the line and worked through the blockage until it was cleared.

With the blockage removed, water could move through the drain again.

If we had left the blockage in place, water could have backed up and overflowed around the property.

Our plumber used a camera to look inside the drain and locate the affected section. We then prepared the relining equipment and carried out pipe relining from inside the existing pipe.

The damaged section was relined without the need to dig up a large area around the property.

If the damaged joints had been left in place, the pipe could have become badly blocked or collapsed, causing water to back up around the property.

A section of guttering high along the side of a harbourside home in Sydney needed to be replaced.  The narrow space below made the gutter and downpipe work more difficult than a standard ground-level job. 

We used long extension ladders to reach the gutter line. We replaced the guttering and installed a painted 90 mm downpipe along the outside wall.

The new pipe was secured with brackets and connected to the rainwater tank. The completed gutter and downpipe now give roof water a clear path to the tank.

By replacing the gutter and installing the new downpipe, the homeowner avoided the risk of heavy rain spilling down the outside wall or collecting beside the home. This could have caused dampness, damaged the exterior and allowed water to enter the home.

A major roof leak had caused serious flood damage inside this inner-city Sydney home. The ceiling was cracked and badly damaged by water. The damage was so serious that the family had to move out. 

We found leaves and dirt built up across the roof and gutter area, stopping rainwater from draining away and putting the home at risk every time it rained.

The roof and gutter clearing work involved removing the build-up, flushing the area and checking that water could flow away properly again.

This helped protect the home from more water damage. If the build-up had remained, the next heavy downpour could have sent more water through the weakened ceiling, causing part of it to give way and fall into the room below.
