Signs include multiple drains backing up simultaneously, gurgling sounds from floor wastes or toilets when other fixtures are used, sewage smell from drains or the yard, wet patches or unusually green grass over the sewer line, and slow drainage across the whole property.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes sewer line faults in Melbourne homes?
Melbourne has a large proportion of older clay sewer lines susceptible to root intrusion from established trees, joint displacement from ground movement, and cracking or partial collapse with age.
Can sewer lines be repaired without excavation in Melbourne?
Yes. In many cases, affected sewer sections can be relined without excavation using CIPP relining technology. Our plumbers assess the fault with CCTV and advise on the most appropriate repair method.
