Balmain is one of Sydney’s oldest and most historic suburbs, so it should come as little surprise that it is one of the suburbs around Sydney which is most prone to drain problems.
Many of the homes around Balmain date back to the late 1800s. All of those beautiful workers’ cottages and Victorian terraces that look so charming from the outside can hide a myriad of plumbing and drain problems underground. When they were constructed, most of these properties were fitted with clay or terracotta pipes, and whilst this was industry standard at the time, they were never intended to last for more than a century.
One of the other factors that makes Balmain’s plumbing network so unique is the fact that sandstone is so widespread. Early drainage was laid very shallow and often cut straight into rock, following whatever line the ground allowed rather than the shortest one. That means terraces were built to the boundary with sewer lines running across neighbouring properties.
Dial Up Plumbing is Balmain’s leading blocked drain plumbing specialists. Our team work in Balmain, Balmain East, Birchgrove, Lilyfield, and Rozelle, and therefore understand the unique nature of the plumbing problems that occur here. We know that using a drain snake isn’t enough, and that you need to work with a Balmain plumber (like us!) who will use a camera in order to properly assess the situation. We will use high pressure jetting to clean the line before relining the drain, so that the same issues do not crop up again in the future.



High-pressure jetting is ideal for clearing stubborn blockages caused by debris, grease, and obstructions from foreign objects.


We use CCTV drain inspection technology to identify cracks, leaks, and blockages from within your pipes without needing to dig.











From minor roof repairs to overflowing gutters and preventative maintenance, we keep your home protected year-round.
