Blocked Drains

Sewer Surgeon, the blocked drain Sydney specialists, are highly qualified professionals who specialise in unclogging blocked drains.

A drain blockage can lead to a blocked floor waste, shower drain, blocked toilet or even flooding in your kitchen or bathroom. If it is a significant blockage, it needs to be attended to immediately by a certified plumber.

Our plumbers are extremely skilled and knowledgeable in fixing a broad range of blocked drains. We pride ourselves on our proficiency in removing obstructions and repairing drains that other Sydney plumbers have been unable to fix.

Pipe Relining

Although pipe relining is a relatively recent technology, it has had a profound effect on the way drains are repaired and maintained.

The majority of people are unwilling to consider what is happening with the pipes beneath their homes. However, leaks, root growth, corrosion, and degeneration are all possible effects of the operation of this critical plumbing system.

Due to their age, homes in established suburbs are more prone to root infiltration and corrosion. Typically, older dwellings’ sewer and stormwater systems were constructed of galvanised tubing or terracotta. Although these materials have been mostly supplanted by PVC, a far superior product, many homes still have these older pipe goods underground. Galvanised pipe rusts over time, while terracotta pipe offers tree roots free access to your sewer and stormwater systems, resulting in obstructions.

Historically, the only approach to completely eliminate blockages and sewage backups following a breach was to replace the pipes that created the problem. Nowadays, our no-dig pipe relining alternatives enable you to avoid the expenditures associated with conventional excavation and landscaping maintenance, thereby saving you a bundle.

Sewer Surgeon is a renowned pipe relining specialist in Sydney, providing our customers with long-lasting, cost-effective solutions.

The Pipe Relining operation begins with a high-speed drain cleaning using our industrial-strength jet blaster technology. During this stage of the procedure, the pipes are cleaned in preparation for relining. We do not need to remove any existing pipes; rather, we can fabricate a seamless, durable pipe inside the confines of the broken pipe, saving both time and money. There is no digging or mess involved; only fully functional pipes are restored.

Our epoxy liner is applied as a liquid to the inside of your pipes to protect them. After setting and hardening, the lining functions as a physically sound new pipe that is not supported by the original pipe’s structural integrity. With the new relined pipe installed, root infiltration, corrosion, and any other common issues that could create problems in your old terracotta or galvanised plumbing system would be practically hard to penetrate.

Our trenchless plumbing approach is a time-tested method of resolving your plumbing issues. By adopting this strategy, you can avoid the hassle of landscape restorations, broken concrete, and excessive excavation costs. Renew, re-line, and rehabilitate your pipes. There is no reason to excavate. Contact our Pipe Relining experts immediately!

Burst Pipe Repair

In general, a burst pipe refers to a leak, split, break, crack, or fracture in the water or gas distribution system in your home. Occasionally, a burst pipe is evident, such as a worn-out flexi hose. Occasionally, a leak occurs on a copper line behind the wall, which is less visible and results in damage and mould. In either case, Sewer Surgeon is the plumber you need when a pipe bursts in the middle of the night.

Busted pipes should be located and repaired immediately, as an unattended leak will eventually cause significant damage to your property. This is particularly true for a gas leak, which, if left untreated, might result in poisoning, fire, or explosion.

While some ruptured pipes are extremely difficult to detect, there are several telltale symptoms of a potential leak.

• Gas smell – if you have the distinct smell of gas in your house, please call Sewer Surgeon immediately. Gas leaks should be dealt with urgently and should not be handled lightly.
•  Mould – Mould spores can go undetected until it’s too late, spreading to various locations and causing some serious damage. If you detect mould in your house, it could be due to a burst pipe behind the wall.
• Wall Stains – water from a burst pipe will leave discoloration on your walls and ceilings. This is a tell tale sign of a water leak and should be investigated immediately
• Increased water bill – leaking pipes can significantly increase the cost of your water bill. If something does not look right, be sure to check with a leak detection professional.
• Lower water pressure – pinhole leaks and fractured pipes can reduce the water pressure in your home. If your water pressure drops suddenly, it could mean a pipe has burst and started to leak. It is best to call a specialist, like Sewer Surgeon, to investigate this.

Our professional plumbers have extensive expertise locating gas and water leaks around Sydney. We employ cutting-edge technology, including thermal imaging, electronic listening, nitrogen gas testing, and gas sniffing. Our leak detection procedures are extremely safe, so rest assured that your home is in capable hands.

Leaking Taps and Toilets

Have you ever wondered why your faucets are continually leaking? Water entering your home is under pressure, and this constant pressure can erode the seals on your faucets. If these seals are not completely airtight, water will enter, resulting in dripping.

We can assist you in resolving any leaking issues with your toilet, tap, or shower. We have seen and repaired every type of leak imaginable over the years and have yet to find a leak that we were unable to remedy. If your toilet, tap, or shower is leaking, our professional plumbers will conduct an assessment and provide the best remedy for your particular situation.

In the most severe cases, when a shower, faucet, or toilet must be replaced, we will work with you to find a replacement that fits your budget and requirements. As with all of our repairs, we only utilise materials of the greatest quality that come with a lengthy warranty. This assures that your replacement part will last as long as the day it was received.

The most often encountered leaks are as follows:

• Leaking shower base
• Leaking Water Tanks
• Leaking Pipes
• Leaking Taps
• Dripping Shower Heads
• Leaking Cisterns
• Leaking Toilets

Gas Fitting

Plumbers use the word “gas fitting” to refer to services such as gas installation, gas leak repair, and gas detection.

The following are some of the services that a certified Sydney gas fitter can provide:

• A Sydney gas fitter can help you convert from another energy source to gas. An example would be if you decide to switch from electric to gas heating.
• A Sydney gas fitter can assist you with problems with your gas cooking appliances. This includes large high-end ranges and small cooktops. We can also provide recommendations on the best appliances to suit your needs
• A Sydney gas fitter can install or repair your gas water heater and appliances.
• A Sydney gas fitter can help you install a new gas line or relocate a current gas line.
• A Sydney gas fitter can complete leak investigations and repairs for all your gas services

After several years of service, gas fittings can become loose, rusted, or fail. This is a regular occurrence in older homes and factories with out-of-date gas systems and equipment that impose undue strain on the fittings. To avoid gas leaks, it is best to do routine inspections and maintenance. Potential hazards, damage, or repairs will be detected and corrected during these inspections. This preemptive technique has the potential to save lives and avert significant property damage.

Water Filtration Systems

Who knew that selecting the perfect water filter system for your property could be so difficult!

Did you know that there are several types of filtration systems to consider, with some being more effective than others at filtering out specific contaminants?

Certain systems are simpler to operate and maintain, while others offer enhanced functionality.

It’s critical to understand what to look for in order to choose the best solution for your home, but have no fear, Sewer Surgeon has you covered.

A carbon block filter, which is frequently used in water pitchers and faucet filters, is the simplest and most basic type of water filtering system. This is the optimal configuration for a single-stage water filtration system.

A two-stage filtration system consisting of a sediment filter and a carbon block filter would be an update to this to increase the system’s longevity and efficacy. The optimal three-stage water filtration system should include three filter stages to ensure that you are only consuming the purest water.

Roof Leaks and Gutter Cleans

Gutters and downpipes are critical components of the roofing system of your home. They not only provide flair and function to your home, but also serve a critical part in protecting it from the elements and Sydney’s harsh weather.

Despite their critical role, downpipes and gutters are frequently the most neglected places that require routine cleaning and repair. The majority of leaks are caused by neglected, clogged, or damaged gutters. To maintain your property properly, it is recommended that you check your gutters or arrange a gutter cleaning service 2-3 times a year to inspect for leaves, dirt, vermin, and other foreign things. If you begin to notice roof leaks, always examine your gutters and downpipes before pursuing roof restoration or a complete roof replacement.

While the majority of do-it-yourself gutter cleaning products work, restoring a damaged gutter and downspout system is a whole different issue. Repairing broken and cracked gutters, dangling guttering or downpipes, rusty gutters with small holes, or leaking gutter joints is not simple. Only a roofing specialist is capable of safely and quickly completing the work. Additionally, we can offer the most cost-effective options to assist you in saving money.
