Excellent work and very friendly.

-Iuni

Very little to say; arrived on time, friendly couple, efficient, and quickly solved the problem for me. Had to use the hydro jet on the problem, and the bill when it came was much less than my plumber had estimated it would be.

I never leave reviews, but troy was well above expectations in his knowledge, experience and approach that i felt compelled to.

Finally a tradesman who is fabulous. I called. Troy actually came as planned. It was clear from the first interaction that he was genuine and knew what from what not. Troy identified the problem within seconds – believe that !! He tested. He checked GIS. The broken swer pipe, while on my property, is not mine to fix. Troy said he would not charge me for coming to id the problem. I only hope the outfit the neighbour gets to fix the broken sewer line is Troy’s company. Troy even said he was… available up to 7pm if I wanted to talk about it after talking to the neighbour. So refreshing to meet Troy who prided himself in telling me he owns the company.

Overview

Sewage flow from a property out to public sewage mains normally depends on gravity. But if your property is lower than the main public sewer line, it will need to use a pump chamber in order to pump waste away. Homes with pump chambers are common in homes below street level or otherwise low down in hilly areas, but they are found throughout Auckland in any area that happens to lie below the local sewage mains.

The Issue

Most tenants and homeowners have no idea that their home’s sewage runs on a pump chamber unless it stops working. Pump chambers normally continue to work without maintenance unless there is a blockage – this is usually caused by items other than toilet paper being flushed down the toilet. When there is a blockage, the pump chamber will often keep trying unsuccessfully to pump sewage away until the pump burns out. At this point an alarm – usually a beep – will usually sound.

The Solution

Pump chamber blockages need to be resolved urgently – until it’s fixed, your toilets will remain unusable. Drain Ninjas can normally arrange a callout to clear the pump chamber in a matter of hours. Once your pump chamber has been cleared, we inspect for damage and advise if further repair work is needed or if the pump chamber is broken. If the pump is broken it will unfortunately need to be replaced by a plumbing specialist – Drain Ninjas can also arrange this service for you. An urgent pump replacement can normally be completed within 24-48 hours.
