Emergency Drain Clearing – Rushcutters Bay
															Emergency Drain Clearing – Rushcutters Bay
We attended an urgent call-out at a strata property in Rushcutters Bay, where the resident reported a leaking and blocked toilet. Upon inspection, we found the toilet was slow to drain and could not be cleared using conventional plunging methods.
A CCTV inspection from the external stack revealed significant tree root infestation blocking the sewer line.
To restore function, our expert plumbers:
- Jet blasted the sewer line both downstream from the stack and upstream to the sewer pit
 - Cleared out all tree root blockages
 - Performed multiple flow tests on the toilet pan, confirming it was flushing and draining correctly
 
After completing the necessary repairs and clearing the blockage, we ensured that the toilet was flushing and draining correctly. The sewer line is now clear, and we have restored the functionality of the toilet. Our team has resolved the immediate issue, and the system is back to full working order.

George came out to replace some tapware, install a new cistern and improve the drainage. He was super professional, easy to deal with and did a great job. Everything was done properly and with no fuss. Would definitely recommend George and the team!! Zrinka Lemezina9 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mint was fantastic, in every way. Mitch and Finn responded to our emergency call out within the hour and fixed our hot water for the day, while also organising a permanent fix to our outdated and failing heating system. George and James spent the following morning installing a full upgrade and replacement of our hot water system, arriving punctually and working efficiently to ensure minimal disruption to our home. They were super neat and cleaned up what very little mess was required to do the job properly. Everyone was courteous and friendly, and all prices were quoted upfront. We are very happy customers - thank you Mint! Ross Annas29 September 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding experience dealing with Joshua and his company Mint Plumbing and Relining. The team, led by Lucas, were efficient, very effect and completely professional.

Lucas even came back on the weekend following the completion of the job to unblock another, unrelated blockage and didn't charge! (And it was Footy Finals weekend!!)
