Petersham is one of the most tightly packed suburbs in the Inner West. Rows of federation cottages and Victorian terraces sit on narrow blocks off Crystal Street, Trafalgar Street and Stanmore Road, with interwar flats along New Canterbury Road and newer apartments near Parramatta Road. Most of it was built before the Second World War, and a lot of the pipework under it is original.
Petersham's leafy streets are the reason people move here and the reason drains block. The earthenware sewer pipes under most of these homes have joints that open with age, and roots from street trees and backyard figs grow straight into them. If your drain gurgles or backs up every few months, that is usually why. We put a CCTV camera down the line, clear the roots with a high-pressure jet blaster and show you the footage. If the pipe is cracked, we can reline it without digging up your courtyard. More on how we handle blocked drains →
Federation homes that have never been replumbed still carry water through galvanised steel. It rusts from the inside, the pressure drops and the water runs brown after a break. We replace it in sections or as a full repipe, opening as little wall and floor as possible. Burst and leaking pipes →
A lot of Petersham hot water units are wedged down a side passage or in a light well, and many are past their design life. We repair where it makes sense and replace where it does not, with gas, electric and heat pump options. Hot water systems →
Petersham blocks are tight. We are used to carrying gear down a side passage and working in a sub-floor you can barely crawl through.
Housing from the railway era. Petersham's station opened in 1855 and the suburb filled with Victorian and Federation terraces, semis and small cottages over the decades that followed. Homes of that age can still have earthenware or cast iron drains and galvanised water pipe, depending on the repairs done since. We camera the line first and show you the footage before anything is dug.
Trees and roots. Mature street trees and established backyard gardens are a feature of the Inner West, and roots are a regular cause of slow drains in older clay pipe. We find where the roots have entered, clear the line, and tell you whether a patch repair or a longer-term fix makes sense.
Terrace rows and shared lines. Where houses share walls, drains can run under or alongside a neighbour's lot. We trace where the line actually goes, tell you which section is yours, and give you a written note you can pass to a neighbour or strata manager.
Cafes, shops and flats near the station. Eating places and upstairs flats put heavy use on old pipework, so grease and ageing joints are common causes of blockages. We find the cause rather than just clearing it.
Burst pipe, sewer backing up into the shower, no hot water, a gas smell: ring 1300 111 007, after hours too. After-hours, weekend and emergency call-outs carry a call-out fee, always quoted upfront before we dispatch a plumber.
Upfront fixed price before any work starts. You only pay for the work we do, with no call-out fee in business hours and interest-free Payright options on larger jobs.
Petersham has a high share of renters, from the flats along New Canterbury Road to families leasing federation homes. We work with property managers on routine call-outs, urgent repairs and end-of-lease jobs, coordinate access with tenants directly and send a photo report with the invoice. For the small interwar strata blocks, we handle common property drains, water isolation and hot water.
The Portuguese strip along Audley Street and New Canterbury Road runs on grease traps, gas and hot water. We service commercial kitchens for blocked drains, gas fitting and compliance certificates, scheduling around trading hours where we can.

Yes. NSW plumbing licence 311287C, fully insured, and every job is done or supervised by a licensed plumber. That matters in Inner West terraces, where half the work happens in a cramped subfloor or a narrow side passage and the shortcuts nobody can see are the ones that leak two winters later.
