Three plumbers had looked at it. None of them fixed it.

What Rosie was living with

Rosie's home in Corio had blocked drains, leaking pipes and tree roots working their way through the system. Problems like that don't fix themselves and they don't stay the same. They get a little worse every month.

More than three plumbers had been out before us. Each of them had a look and found the problems. None of them fixed them. Rosie was left with the same drains, the same leaks, and a growing feeling that this was something she'd just have to live with.

What Jarryd found

Jarryd put a camera down the drains to find the exact cause, not a guess at it. It confirmed what Rosie had suspected for a while: the drains were badly blocked, the pipes were leaking, and tree roots had got into the system. The roots were the problem the plumbers before him had spotted and walked away from.

He showed Rosie what he'd found, explained it until she understood what was going on in her own home, and mapped out a plan to fix all of it. In this video he goes over the game plan.

It takes longer to do it properly, but not as long as it takes to do it twice.

What we actually did

It took two visits. Jarryd made real progress on all three problems the first time, then came back to finish the job properly rather than rush it into one.

The blocked drain, cleared

Cleared properly with Jarryd's drain clearing gear, not just enough to get it running.

A complete camera inspection

The camera found the exact cause of the problem, so the fix went where it was needed.

Permanent drain repairs

A permanent reline covering all the major problems, so the repair lasts.

What it meant for Rosie

After more than three plumbers had come and gone, someone finally took the job on and fixed it. The drains run freely again, the leaks are sealed, and the problems she'd been told about but never seen fixed are behind her.

Her home is in better shape than it has been in a long time, and she has a plumber she can trust to call next time. This is the finished job.

Why Jarryd calls it the Craig Bellamy Package

Craig Bellamy built the Melbourne Storm into one of the most successful clubs in NRL history on relentless standards, attention to detail, and a refusal to walk past a problem and pretend it wasn't there. Jarryd's most thorough level of service is named after him.

It's for homes like Rosie's: more than one problem, jobs other plumbers have backed away from, or people who just want it done properly the first time without chasing three different tradespeople. A thorough look, a clear explanation, honest advice, and staying on the job until it's actually finished.

No finding the problem and walking away. No leaving you where you were before we arrived.
