Mainline Plumbing Co. Read this before you call any plumber.
What jobs actually cost, which licence to check, and the questions that protect you from the hourly-rate surprise. No sign-up, no sales pitch, just what to ask, whoever you hire.
Choosing a plumber
What to check before you let anyone start, so you hire on proof, not on the lowest number.
Pricing and quotes
What honest plumbing costs in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, and how to read a quote without getting burned.
How the work is done
Blocked drains, gas, and the small print of doing each job to the standard.
Blocked drains: snake, camera, jet, in that order
How a real plumber escalates a blocked drain: snake first, camera if it does not hold, jet only when the camera says the line is sound. The honesty frame that stops the bait and switch.
