About the suburb

Two things about this suburb make an emergency more likely than it should be. The first is age: the Federation and interwar homes near the station commonly still run earthenware sewer, laid in short lengths with a joint every metre or so, and every one of those joints is a way in.

The second is the trees. Brush Farm Park and Darvall Park hold remnant Blue Gum High Forest, the streets are genuinely leafy, and Ryde Council keeps an active street tree program going. Big trees and old joints are how a line that coped for decades stops coping on a Sunday night. The rail corridor splits the 18,700 residents between City of Ryde and City of Parramatta, and both sides get the same problem.

The newer buildings around the town centre fail differently. Where the zoning has allowed up to ten storeys, the drainage is modern and the emergencies tend to be wipes and cooking fat in a shared stack, which means the flat with the problem is not always the flat that caused it.

What we do in Eastwood

Blocked drains. On an emergency the order is deliberate. We get access at the inspection opening or the boundary trap, clear the line so water stops backing into the house, then put the camera in to find out what actually caused it. Roots through a joint, a bellied section, fat, or something that should never have gone down a gully. Any repair that footage turns up gets quoted on its own and you decide in daylight. Covered under blocked drains, with the after hours side on the emergency plumber page.

Hot water. Gas, electric and heat pump, repaired or replaced through hot water Eastwood.

Leak detection. Wet ground with the drains running clear is a different problem, and we can work out whether it is a supply leak.

General plumbing and maintenance. Taps, toilets, gas and renovations through a plumber in Eastwood.

Common questions from Eastwood homeowners

It is coming up in the yard right now. What do I do first?

Stop putting water into the system. No flushing, no washing machine, no shower, and warn everyone else in the house. The overflow gully outside is doing its job by relieving the pressure at the lowest point outside, so leave it clear rather than covering it. Then call and we will come out.

Is it safe to use one toilet if another one is the problem?

Usually not. A blockage in the main line affects everything upstream of it, so the toilet that still seems fine is often just further from the trouble. Every extra litre has to go somewhere, and where it goes is your lowest fixture or your yard.

How late will you come out?

Emergency callouts run 24/7 and Eastwood is 7.9km from base. A sewer backing up inside a house is exactly the sort of thing we come out at night for, rather than telling you to sit with it until Monday.

Will you still camera the line in the middle of an emergency?

The clearing comes first because the priority is getting water away from the house. Once it is flowing we put the camera in to find out what caused it, and you see the footage. That is when you find out whether it was a one off or a pipe that needs work.

The gurgling started days ago. Did I miss my chance to avoid this?

Gurgling and a slow shower are the warning, and acting then is cheaper than acting now. It is not too late though. Plenty of lines that are fully blocked today were only partly restricted a week ago, and what is in there has not changed.

Do the parks and street trees really reach this far?

Roots go where the water is, and a sewer joint that weeps is a reliable water source. With Brush Farm and Darvall Parks holding remnant Blue Gum High Forest and Ryde Council running an active street tree program, there is no shortage of large root systems in this suburb.
