SXP started as a sole-trader operation over 20 years ago and has since grown into one of the Northern Beaches’ most trusted and reliable plumbing services
SXP offers plumbing services to commercial, residential and strata properties across the Northern Beaches. We deal in all sorts of plumbing, from new builds and renovations to emergency plumbing, repair and maintenance, rainwater system, drainage solutions – including trench and excavation work – you name it!
Part of our vision as a company is to create an educational platform, providing information on best practices in terms of plumbing and helping every customer have a better understanding of their issues; we’ll help you learn strategies to get the best out of your plumbing and forestall problems before they arise.
Founded by Sven and Nikki, SXP has a vision to be the go-to plumber of the Northern Beaches and surrounds, prioritising honesty, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
Kitchen and bathrooms are the main culprits for household debris blocking drains. Anything from oil and grease build up to hair, sanitary items or other foreign objects getting stuck can cause pipes to block up, or lead to partial blockages that can strain your system’s pipework and drainage capacity.
Best practices to minimise household-related blockages include installing strainers in all sinks in the bathroom and kitchen and performing a monthly hot-water drain clean to ensure grease and oil buildups are kept to a minimum.
Leaves, dirt, and tree roots are some of the most common elements to cause blockages in drains and pipes from the surrounding environment. Debris after rain or windy weather can get caught in drains and pipes, causing full or partial blockages that can then cause larger issues like seepage, leaks, or pipe breakage. Tree roots are the main culprit for blockages and pipe damage. High humidity and saltwater in a seaside location can also accelerate corrosion in pipes.
Use drain covers, regular gutter cleaning and ensure trees are planted away from plumbing and drains to minimise the risk of blockages.
Blocked pipes, sinks, or toilets can quickly disrupt your day, which is why timely action is essential. At SXP, we prioritise fast and efficient service to resolve blockages in toilets, showers, sinks, pipework, and pits — helping restore normal function with minimal delay.
For more stubborn blockages, our team has advanced tools to inspect, remove, or repair with minimal disturbance on your property:
We use a high-pressure jet cleaner to quickly and safely clear debris and other blockages from pipes and drains, allowing for efficient reopening of drains without the necessity of manual removal.
Strange noises like gurgling, bubbling, or slow draining water, and bad odours are all telltale signs of a blockage. New or strange wet patches in areas that are normally dry without excessive rain are another sign that there is an issue.
We believe that ultimately, prevention is better than a cure – so we aim to provide preventative advice for future blockages. We recommend a regular maintenance schedule so that any trouble areas are dealt with before they become a costly problem. And of course, we’re there for you when any problems do arise.
Whether you need a quick fix, a full system installation, or advice on your plumbing project, our team is ready to assist. We offer no-obligation quotes, fast service, and reliable solutions that you can trust.
