A real person answers, day or night
A trench that ignores the ground rarely lasts a season
Sand, shale and salt air all treat a new pipe differently, so guessing at a design costs more than checking first. Call (02) 9072 0597 and a licensed plumber walks your block before anything gets committed to paper.
Three housing generations sharing one connection point
- Three building phases often feed one boundary connection Mid-century cottages still line the slopes on Alexander Street and Ramsay Street, and a rebuild replacing storm damage can sit directly on top of a 1970s extension and the original post-war footings.
- A renovated kitchen rarely arrives with a renovated drain Tapware, tiles and cabinetry soak up most of the attention during a reno, so the pipe carrying everything away usually stays exactly as old as the house was on the day it went in.
- Nobody knows what's underneath until somebody actually checks A design drawn from an old plan or a hopeful guess is exactly how a brand-new bathroom ends up backing up through a fault nobody accounted for.
What falls under repair and installation
Whatever a renovation or a tired old system genuinely needs, it usually falls into one of these:
New sewer connections
A granny flat, extra bathroom or knockdown rebuild on the older slope streets gets its own properly sized connection, calculated from the block's real fall rather than copied off whatever the last renovation happened to leave behind.
Stormwater pits and pipes
Coastal downpours, not an average shower, set the sizing for every new pit and pipe here, and a shallow water table on the lower blocks gets designed around from the start rather than discovered the first time it rains hard.
Full system rebuilds
Where years of piecemeal patching have stopped holding, the whole run gets pulled out and replaced together, giving a tired older property one coherent system instead of another isolated fix bolted onto everything that's already failing.
Salt-rated fittings and jointing
Exposed connections near the seafront get specified with fittings and jointing rated for constant salt exposure, because standard-grade hardware corrodes noticeably faster this close to the sand than the manufacturer's own rating sheet ever assumes.
Larger sites, larger drainage demands
A conference and accommodation centre near the beachfront runs drainage nothing like an ordinary house
A school campus on the South Creek Road side adds its own scale
Both examples share one lesson for any renovation
Two install faults site visits keep turning up
Every job here tends to surface one of these before a rebuild is even finalised.
Undersized for the household it serves
A kitchen, second bathroom and laundry added over the decades routinely outgrow a connection sized for one 1950s bathroom, so the honest fix is resizing the whole run for what the house actually holds now, not squeezing another fixture onto pipework never built for it.
Corroded faster than the calendar suggests
Metal fittings and older jointing near the water age well ahead of their inland equivalents, so a connection that looks decades younger on paper can already be the weak point letting salt-laden groundwater into the line.
What a properly engineered install is actually worth
Getting the design right before the trench opens changes what happens for years afterward, not just on handover day:
- Salt-rated materials outlast standard-grade ones by a wide margin here Choosing fittings built for constant sea air from day one avoids paying for hardware twice, once now and again in a few short years.
- Concrete only goes down once A slab poured over an undersized or badly bedded line locks that weakness in place, and correcting it afterward usually means opening up finishes nobody wanted touched again.
- A properly documented system is simply easier to sell later Buyers and their inspectors both notice drainage that's been engineered rather than patched, and that peace of mind rarely comes up as a negotiating point.
How it works
Drainage repair and installation, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0597 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
Design around your block
Salt exposure, soil type and fall all get mapped against the actual site before any pipe goes in, so the finished system suits the ground it sits on rather than a generic assumption copied from somewhere else.

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 Collaroy
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 Collaroy 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.
Nobody wants a trench opened twice, which is exactly why the design gets checked against your actual ground before it's dug even once.
Where we work
Areas we service
Narrabeen, Collaroy Plateau, Dee Why, Cromer and Wheeler Heights all get the same properly costed design work, whether the block sits on beach sand, firmer shale or the higher ground further from the water.
Good questions, straight answers
Drainage repair and installation questions Collaroy locals ask
What decides the price of a new drainage line or a full rebuild?
Run length, ground type and fixture count are the three biggest levers on price, and your plumber weighs all three on site before a single figure gets put in writing for you to consider.
How long does a full drainage rebuild usually take?
A straightforward new connection is usually wrapped up in a single visit, whereas a whole-system replacement under an established house naturally takes longer, and you're given an honest timeframe once your plumber has actually walked the site.
Do you sort council or water authority approvals for new work?
Where a job ties into council or water authority infrastructure requiring sign-off, we handle that paperwork ourselves as the work proceeds, so it never lands on your plate as a separate task to manage.
Is the crew installing new drainage properly licensed?
Yes, licence 275278C and full insurance cover the plumber assigned to your install, and whatever certification the completed work legally requires simply forms part of finishing the job, never a separate chase.
Does salt air actually change how a new drainage system gets built?
It genuinely does, since fittings and jointing exposed to constant sea air call for entirely different material choices than the identical job would need on higher, drier ground inland.
What happens if a newly installed line develops a fault later?
Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the fix regardless of the calendar, so a workmanship issue surfacing years down the track gets sorted on our account rather than yours.
