 Frequently Asked Questions

Got drainage questions? We’ve got answers! Here are some of the most common questions we get from our customers in Lismore and the Northern Rivers

What is leak detection & how does it work?

Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating hidden or hard-to-find leaks in your plumbing system. These leaks can occur in pipes, water mains, underground or behind walls, making them difficult to spot with the naked eye. Our professional leak detection begins with an assessment, using specialised equipment to detect leaks without causing unnecessary damage to your property. Once we locate the leak, we’ll repair it and share preventative maintenance tips to avoid future leaks.

There are several signs to watch out for:

  • High water bills, even though your usage hasn’t changed.
  • Damp patches on your walls, ceilings, or floors.
  • Mould growth in areas that are usually dry.
  • The sound of running water when all your taps are off.
  • Low water pressure in your showers or sinks.
  • Cracks in your foundation or walls, especially after heavy rain.

Several factors can contribute to leaks in our region, including:

  • Ageing pipes that are corroded or damaged.
  • Tree root intrusion into your sewer lines.
  • Ground movement can cause pipes to shift and crack.
  • Extreme temperature changes can cause pipes to expand and contract.
  • High water pressure can put stress on your plumbing system.
  • Clogged drains that can cause water to back up and damage pipes.
  • Frequent flooding can erode soil, displace pipes and increase stress on your drainage system.

Absolutely! Flooding can be a major problem for properties and farms in the Northern Rivers. We can assess your property and design a drainage solution that diverts water away from your backyards, fields and buildings, protecting your house, livestock, crops and equipment – whatever it may be! This might involve installing French drains, culverts or swales to redirect water flow and prevent erosion.

Adding a new bathroom requires careful planning to ensure your drainage system can handle the increased wastewater. We can help you determine the correct pipe size and gradient, install appropriate drainage fixtures and ensure your new bathroom plumbing is compliant with all regulations. We can also advise on water-saving fixtures and strategies to help you reduce your water consumption.

Yes, we can. We have experience designing and installing drainage systems for industrial facilities of all sizes. We’ll work with you to understand your specific needs and develop a solution that meets your production demands while complying with all environmental regulations.
