Drainage in Tugun
Older southern beachside suburb on sandy ground with original sewer in many streets.
What blocks drains around here
Older Gold Coast homes were plumbed in vitrified clay and earthenware, joined with mortar or rubber rings. Those joints weep, and every tree within about 30 metres will find them. Root intrusion is far and away the most common cause of blocked sewers in this sort of housing stock.
How we approach it
Jetting with a root-cutting nozzle clears the mass properly rather than punching a hole through it. Then we camera the line, because on clay pipe the roots will come back unless the joint or section is repaired.
What we do in Tugun
- Blocked Drain CleaningBlocked toilets, sinks, showers, sewers and stormwater cleared properly, not just poked through.
- High Pressure Drain JettingWater at pressure that scours the pipe wall clean, rather than boring a hole through the blockage.
- CCTV Drain Camera InspectionsStop guessing. A camera down the line shows you exactly what is in there and what shape the pipe is in.
- Drain RepairsWhen clearing it is not enough, because the pipe itself is the problem.
- Blocked SewerMore than one fixture backing up at once. This one does not wait.
- Stormwater Drain CleaningYard flooding, overflowing pits and water heading toward the house instead of away from it.
