A real person answers, day or night
Broken drains put right the first time, and new lines that last
A drain that keeps failing has usually reached the end of its life below ground. Ring (02) 9072 0502 and we will put a camera down the line to tell you whether one section needs replacing or the whole run does.
Why laying drainage on reclaimed foreshore ground is different
Ground that keeps moving
Water just below the spade
Old earthenware giving up
The drainage repair and installation work we do
Renewing underground drains covers everything from a single failed joint through to a complete replacement run, and each of the jobs below carries one fixed written price agreed before any digging starts:
Section replacement
Where the camera shows just one length of pipe cracked or split by roots, we excavate that stretch alone, cut out the tired earthenware and bed fresh pipe at the right fall, leaving the healthy remainder of the run fully undisturbed.
New drain lines
Extensions, granny flats and re-plumbed bathrooms often need brand-new waste and stormwater runs, which we lay out, excavate and tie into the existing sewer or the street main with a proper grade for ground that offers barely any natural fall.
Full pipe renewal
Older cottages still carrying perished clay from the house to the boundary sometimes need the entire line renewed, so we lift the spent drain, lay one continuous modern pipe and reinstate the surface above it once the run tests clear.
Pits and junctions
Collapsed inspection pits, broken junctions and failed boundary traps are rebuilt or swapped out, restoring a sound access point that lets every future clear and camera check travel smoothly through a system flowing the way it always should.
Street by street, the drains we dig up here

Post-war brick near Booralee Park
Shops and cafes along Botany Road
Common drainage faults we repair
Recurring collapses
A drain that blocks in the very same spot after every clear is usually collapsing underground rather than merely clogging, and once the camera confirms a broken length we replace it so the fault stops coming back for good.
Sinking pipe runs
Waste that pools partway along instead of flowing away often means the pipe has sagged as the loose fill settled beneath it, and re-bedding that length to a genuine grade restores the fall the line quietly lost.
Leaking joints
One slow seep at a cracked connection can wet a garden and lift a water bill without ever blocking the drain outright, and exposing then resealing that joint stops the steady loss into the porous soil below.
Why fixing failed drainage properly matters
A broken drain in the ground rarely stays a small problem, because on low, sandy blocks the damage spreads faster than owners expect:
Undermined foundations
Health and mess
A climbing water bill
How it works
How the repair job runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 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
Dig, replace, test
Once you approve the figure, we expose only the pipe that needs it, cut out the failed section or lay the new run to grade, then flow-test the drain and make good the surface so the yard looks settled again.

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 Botany
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 Botany 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.
This repair work sits within our wider drainage service, so a blocked drain gets handled by the same crew.
Where we work
Areas we service
We dig, mend and lay drainage across Mascot, Pagewood, Eastgardens, Banksmeadow and Rosebery too, with the same up-front written pricing on every low, sandy block near the bay.
Good questions, straight answers
Drainage repair questions Botany homeowners ask
Should a cracked drain be repaired or fully replaced?
It depends on the pipe, so we camera the line first and replace only the failed length where the rest is sound, or renew the whole run when the clay is perished throughout.
Does fixing a drain mean digging up my whole yard?
Rarely, because the camera pinpoints the exact break so we open only that stretch, and where the pipe suits it we often rebuild through existing access with no trench at all.
Why do drains fail so often on the low foreshore streets?
The made-up ground reclaimed near the bay settles unevenly and the water table sits close beneath it, so buried pipes gradually lose their fall and their joints work loose over the years.
Can you install new drainage for an extension or granny flat?
Yes, we set out, trench and connect fresh waste and stormwater lines to the sewer or street, grading them carefully for coastal ground that offers very little natural fall.
What does a drainage repair callout cost?
You pay nothing for the call out, and the full repair is quoted in writing before we begin, so the number you approve is the number you pay, weekday or weekend.
How long does a drainage repair take?
Most spot repairs finish within the day once the price is approved, while a full line renewal or a new install can run longer, and we give you a realistic timeframe upfront.
