About Erskineville

Erskineville is a compact inner-city suburb about 4km south of the CBD. Great village vibe with the cafes along Erskineville Road and the iconic oval. The streets are lined with Victorian and Edwardian workers’ cottages and terraces, most built between the 1870s and 1920s.

These heritage places have original earthenware sewer pipes and cast iron plumbing that has seriously aged. A lot of former industrial land has been redeveloped into apartment complexes, which adds strata plumbing to the mix. Clay soils and big old fig trees along the residential lanes mean root intrusion is a constant headache for the ageing drainage network.

We know Erskineville well. Old terraces, new apartments, and everything in between. If your drains are playing up or your hot water has given out, we will get it sorted.

What causes blocked drains in Erskineville?

Erskineville’s 19th-century workers’ cottages are among the oldest residential buildings in the Inner West, and most still have original earthenware sewer pipes that have cracked and deteriorated over well more than a century. Tree root intrusion is the leading cause of blockages — the mature fig trees and brush box trees throughout the suburb send roots deep into damaged pipe joints. The conversion of former industrial sites into apartment complexes has also increased load on ageing sewer mains, which can cause backups during heavy rainfall when combined sewer systems are overwhelmed.

Can you reline pipes in Erskineville without digging?

Yes. Pipe relining repairs damaged pipes from the inside using epoxy resin, creating a seamless new pipe within the old one. There is no excavation required — ideal for Erskineville properties with narrow cottage frontages, paved laneways, and small courtyard gardens where traditional trenching would cause significant disruption. All relining work comes with a 50-year warranty.

Do you charge a call-out fee in Erskineville?

No. We offer a $0 call-out fee for all jobs in Erskineville. We will come to your property, assess the problem, and provide a fixed-price quote at no cost. If you choose not to proceed, there is no obligation and no charge.
