  • Tree roots

  • Older clay sewer pipes at the end of the life cycle
  • Leaking joints caused by inferior joins in sewer pipes
  • Ground movement and changes caused by extreme weather conditions
ANSWER

A Blocked Drain can cause serious issues in your home life and can cause MAJOR disruption if not taken care of SWIFTLY and  without DRAMA! There are a number of things to look out for when identifying a problem (or potential problems). 

  • Bad smells in the home, especially in the bathrooms.
  • Gurgling and bubbling in your drains even not in operation
  • Discharged water outside your property, especially near gullies
  • Sewer and waste coming up into your sinks and shower basins.
ANSWER

Doing it yourself can seem like a good idea at the time, however with this approach there can be a number of risks. The most obvious being that the problem is not completely fixed and therefore will need attention further down the track. Even adding more problems to an existing problem is something that everyone wants to avoid.

ANSWER

This is often a misconception and the answer is No! Stormwater is collected from the roof and can discharge into a water tank or a council line. With your Sewer it is everything else. Your kitchen, sinks, basins go into a separate line that is not your Storm Water.

ANSWER

There are a number of scenarios in which replacement and repair of plumbing works can be covered by insurance. When there is a need to open a wall, concrete slab or any excavation in general that is needed to get to a pipe as a homeowner, it is in your best interest to see if your insurance covers you.
