Drainage Alterations - What You Need to Know

If you are thinking of having your drains changed, there are a few things you need to know before hiring a company to do the work. First, you need to determine the exact cause of your drainage issues. If the cause is improper drainage, you will need to fix it before you can continue.


Fixing the problem may involve sewer and stormwater drainage, or even foundation repairs. Here are some common causes and their solutions. Read on to learn more.

There are a variety of causes for blocked drains, ranging from improper installation to tenant flushing sanitary products down the toilet. A poor installation can lead to pipes that sag and low areas that collect debris and cause a blockage. If you experience any of these issues, you can file a complaint with the NSW Department of Fair Trading. An inspector may order a plumber to make the necessary repairs to the sewer and drains.

Blocked drains are an unpleasant nuisance. The drainage system in your house connects your house's waste to the city's main Drainage Alterations system in Sydney. Different things can clog drains, such as grease and fat, stuck napkins, and completely collapsed drains. Having a blocked drain will cause a foul smell and a leakage. Fortunately, most drain clogs do not occur overnight. But if the problem isn't addressed immediately, you may have to face serious consequences.

For unauthorised installations, property owners are responsible for the maintenance of their own private wastewater pipes. If you suspect an issue with a public line, you should contact Sydney Water. A licensed plumber can investigate and verify the issue. If the problem is your fault, Sydney Water will send a team to investigate. They may pay for the repairs. If not, you should call a licensed plumber to inspect the problem and get the blocked drain cleared.

If you find a collapsed private sewer pipe in a public place, the company may repair it for free. However, there are some conditions you should be aware of. In some cases, excavation of public land will be required. It's best to contact a licensed plumber to do the work, as they can source the equipment required to make these repairs. If you want to get the job done quickly, you should choose a company that will complete the work in a timely manner.
