Think you’ve got an underground drain that needs repairing?
The key sign prompting you to answer yes, is standing water in your lawn, concrete or ground surface. This is an indication that you have quiet a serious leak on your hands. Underground pipes will either be part of your sewer system or stormwater system. As you can imagine, stormwater burst are typically a bit nicer to work with for both yourself and us, but hey, we will always help!
Unfortunately, no matter the circumstances, we are never 100% certain what is going on underground. We may initially think we have a straightforward job on our hands, but start our dig up and find it’s like a Pandora’s box!
Some commonly asked Drain Repair Questions are:
What Causes a Drain Pipe to Burst?
Sewer pipes can burst from many causes including:
- Foreign materials being flushed down the toilet, such as face wipes, paper towel, sanitary items and nappies (yes people DO put these down the toilet. NO you are not supposed to!)
- Broken pipes
- Poor water flow.
Stormwater pipes can burst caused by:
- Heavy rains and storms which overwhelm the system
- Gutters & Downpipes full of debris, causing them not to efficiently function.
What are the costs of getting your drain repaired?
Unfortunately no dig up or drain repair is the same! As mentioned some tasks are easy and some are more like opening a pandora’s box. These factors make it very hard for us to estimate a price, but you can gage some pricing information here.
