A real person answers, day or night
When the pipe itself is the problem
Clearing a blockage only moves water past the fault. A drain that blocks again after every clearing, or runs slow no matter what you tip down it, has a structural fault in the pipe, and jetting will never fix that.
Repair or replacement is the honest answer, and it is the work this page covers. For the blockages themselves, see our blocked drains service instead.
What the slopes and soils here do to drains
The fall works against the pipework
The ground moves underneath
The canopy helps them find it
Drainage repairs and installations we carry out
We handle the full range of structural drainage work, from one cracked length to a complete new run. Every job starts with a CCTV drain inspection so the quote rests on what the camera actually shows.
Sectional repairs. Where the camera shows a single collapsed or root-crushed length, we excavate just that section and replace it with correctly bedded modern PVC.
Full line replacement. A line that has failed along its run gets replaced end to end, graded for the block's fall and built to outlast the clay it replaces.
New drainage installation. Extensions, rebuilt laundries and renovated bathrooms all need new waste and stormwater runs, and we design the gradients and inspection points to suit the slope.
Stormwater line repair and installation. Roofs on steep blocks shed serious water, so we repair or install stormwater lines that handle a Sydney downpour instead of flooding the low side of the property. Where the trouble is surface water rather than the pipes, our stormwater page goes deeper.
Gradient correction. Lines laid flat or back-falled decades ago get regraded so water actually runs, which ends the recurring silt blockages for good.

The streets and houses where faults show first
The war-service-home streets
The mid-century flat blocks
The repair methods we quote, honestly
Lining where it suits
Digging where it does not
You get the honest recommendation, the reason for it, and one fixed price covering the complete repair.
Why leaving a damaged drain gets expensive fast
A cracked line feeds the roots
Every clearing removes the symptom while the crack keeps inviting them back, and each visit costs more than the repair would have.
Leaks undermine the ground
Water escaping a broken line washes out bedding and soil, which is how driveways crack, paths subside and retaining walls take strain.
Sewer faults become health faults
A broken sewer line under the yard is sewage in your soil, and on blocks falling toward the water it can travel further than you think.
How it works
How we run a drainage repair
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0504 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
Camera, dig or line, then prove it
We run the camera to map the fault precisely, complete the repair by the agreed method, then re-inspect and show you the finished line before we backfill, so the proof sits on the recording rather than on trust.
- 04
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 Lane Cove
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 Lane Cove 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.
When drainage trouble turns urgent
A sewer smell in the yard, or wastewater surfacing on the low side of a sloping block, sits between a repair job and an emergency.
If sewage is backing up inside the house right now, go straight to emergency plumbing and we will make things safe first. Surcharged stormwater during a downpour gets the same treatment.
Where we work
Areas we service
We carry out drainage repairs and installations across the village and the surrounding neighbourhoods, including Lane Cove North, Lane Cove West, Greenwich, Longueville and Riverview, with the same camera-first diagnosis and fixed pricing everywhere.
The riverfront streets of Longueville and Riverview see the slope and root problems most sharply, and we work them regularly. For what sits beyond the pipes, the drainage hub and our home pages cover the rest.

Good questions, straight answers
Drainage questions Lane Cove locals ask
How do I know if my drain needs repair rather than just clearing?
Repeat blockages, soggy patches in the garden, subsiding paving or a sewer smell outdoors all point to a cracked or displaced line that clearing alone will not fix, so we camera the line and show you what is wrong.
Can you repair drains without digging up my whole yard?
Often yes. Where the damage suits it, pipe relining rebuilds the drain from inside, which saves lawns, paths and landscaping, and we always quote the least disruptive method that genuinely fixes the problem.
Why do drains fail so often around the village?
The suburb falls steeply from the ridgeline down to the river, mature trees push roots into old clay lines, and shale and reactive clay soils crack and shift earthenware pipes after decades in the ground.
How much does a drainage repair cost?
We inspect and camera the line first, then hand you a single fixed written price before any work starts, with a $0 call out fee, so you approve the exact figure before a tool comes off the van.
Do you handle Sydney Water requirements for drainage work?
Yes. Work on sewer lines follows Sydney Water standards, and we manage the paperwork and compliance side so your repair is certified properly from the start.
Are your drainage repairs guaranteed?
Every repair is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if the work is not right we come back and make it right at no cost, which is how we stand behind digging, relining and everything between.
