Plenty of the older homes in Bega still have their original plumbing line running under the yard. After that many years in the ground, many locals find the joints have shifted enough to let tree roots in. That’s when you get a drain that keeps blocking a few months after it was cleared, or a toilet that’s slow to flush.
We start with a CCTV camera inspection so we can see where the pipe is cracked or broken before we quote. If the line is fine and something is just stuck, clearing with high-pressure water jetting is the end of the job. If it’s cracked or full of roots, we’ll usually recommend no-dig pipe relining. We repair the old pipe from the inside, so your lawn or driveway isn’t disturbed. Relining works on sewer and stormwater lines, including the old clay pipes that are so common in the Bega Valley.
Every job starts with finding out what exactly is causing your problem, because that decides what we need to do to fix it. For a blocked or slow drain, we use a CCTV camera to see inside the pipe. For a hot water system or tank pump that has stopped working, we check the whole setup rather than just replacing the part that’s playing up. Once we know what’s going on, you get a clear quote before any work starts.
If there’s more than one way to fix it, our team will talk you through the options and recommend the one that suits your property. That might be a simple repair, or for a cracked sewer line, no-dig relining.
Once you’re out past the edge of town, a lot of properties around Bega aren’t connected to the sewer. They run on a septic system and tank water, and that brings its own unique jobs. We install and repair septic systems and get tank pumps working as they should be. For yards that seem to stay soggy long after the rain has stopped, we put in subsoil drainage systems. For new septic systems or upgraded systems, our team can help you with the paperwork for approval with the Bega Valley Shire Council.
