What's usually behind it in Northcote
Northcote terraces sit close together, so a blocked shared drain or burst pipe can affect next door too. We move quickly to contain it.
When water is coming through the ceiling or the sewer is backing up, you need a licensed plumber at the door, not a callback tomorrow. Our phones are answered around the clock and a van is sent from our Kew base. For Northcote customers, that usually means same-day service.
Many Northcote homes are workers' cottages and Victorian or Edwardian houses, often still on original clay sewers and galvanised water pipes.
When to call
- Water spraying or pooling where it shouldn't
- Sewage coming up through a floor waste or toilet
- A smell of gas inside or near the meter
- No water at all, or no hot water in winter
