Running a CCTV camera down a drain to find the fault

A suburb where slope and age both matter

Artarmon's Hawkesbury sandstone-and-shale topography concentrates runoff in the lower streets, and that geography drives much of the drainage work we see.

Established street trees throughout the suburb send roots into every open joint they can find

Century-old earthenware sewer lines under the 1910s-1930s bungalow stock are particularly vulnerable, given how long they've had for those joints to open up.

The hilly terrain means water arrives fast and doesn't hang around

Older stormwater infrastructure built for a different era's rainfall gets tested hard once a genuine downpour hits.

What causes most drainage trouble here

Root intrusion from established street trees is the single leading cause of blockages, exploiting century-old earthenware joints that have had decades to crack and displace. Concentrated hillside runoff during a real downpour puts additional strain on stormwater infrastructure that was never built for today's rainfall intensity.

How it works

How it works

  1. 01

    Call and tell us

    Ring (02) 9072 0519 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 03

    Diagnosed properly, fixed once

    Camera confirmation before and after work means the fix addresses the actual cause, not just the symptom.

  4. 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 Artarmon

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 Artarmon 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.

Where we work

Areas we service

Drainage services are also available across Chatswood, St Leonards, Naremburn, Lane Cove and Willoughby.

Good questions, straight answers

Drainage questions from locals

Why is tree root intrusion such a common issue in the conservation area?

Mature trees lining the heritage streets have had a century of opportunity to find every open joint in the old clay drainage.

Does the hilly terrain change how drainage is designed here?

Significantly, runoff concentrates fast in the lower streets, so older stormwater lines get tested hard during a genuine downpour.

Can root-affected drains be fixed without digging up a heritage garden?

Often, yes, relining handles plenty of cases without the excavation a full replacement would need.

Is commercial drainage near the industrial estate handled differently?

The core methods are the same, though minimising downtime for the business matters more than it would residentially.

How old is the typical earthenware drain in Artarmon?

Most date to the original 1910s-1930s subdivision, so well over a century old in plenty of cases.

Do you provide camera footage after clearing a drain?

Yes, confirming the line's genuinely clear rather than just temporarily relieved.
