Concrete In Sewer And Wastewater Line North Ryde

Problem reported

The customer had a difficult sewer and wastewater blockage on a new build. Wastewater was not running properly through the pipework, and the customer needed help understanding who had to be involved.

Cause found

Concrete had entered or hardened inside the sewer and wastewater line, creating a major obstruction. The issue required diagnosis and coordination with Sydney Water for the larger sewer repair.

Work completed

Attended the property, inspected and exposed the affected pipework, used drain equipment to check flow, helped identify concrete as the cause, contacted and coordinated with Sydney Water, arranged workers and excavator support, made repeat visits to check that the pipework was still running while the authority-side repair was being organised, and helped install or prepare replacement PVC pipework and fittings around the access area.

Equipment used

• Excavator
• hand excavation tools
• CCTV drain camera or inspection gear
• jetting or cable equipment
• PVC pipe and fittings
• gravel bedding
• shovel
• drill and hand tools
• temporary barrier tape

Outcome

The concrete-related sewer and wastewater blockage was escalated correctly, the affected area was opened and managed, temporary flow checks were carried out while waiting for the major repair, and the customer had Scott coordinating the process with Sydney Water and site workers.
